The end of year dash
The end of the school year has a rhythm we all know: assemblies, concerts, lost jumpers… and the moment you realise you still need a gift for the teacher. The easy answer is chocolates or a mug — and while kind, they don’t always capture the appreciation you want to express.
Teachers spend the year guiding, encouraging, and sometimes being more patient than we can imagine. When it comes time to say thank you, elevating the gift — even in a small way — makes it feel less like a ticked box and more like a true expression of gratitude.
And here’s the secret: an elevated gift doesn’t have to be expensive or complicated. It just has to feel considered. A practical item made beautiful. An everyday essential made special. That’s what turns a small gesture into a moment your child will be proud to give.
Here are some of our top picks from our collections, all ready for you!
A water bottle they’ll use every day
A Beysis water bottle is sleek, reusable, and stylish — the kind of gift that gets used daily, long after the last bell has rung.
Grooming gifts for male teachers
Jericho beard balm or oil, or even the Face & Beard scrub, is a personal touch that feels considered, a small everyday luxury that goes beyond the standard “thank-you mug.”
Gifts for them to Unplug and play!
Reverie puzzles or Paint Like Frida mini sets bring calm and creativity into their downtime. It’s a gift of relaxation — something every teacher deserves after a long term.
Something special for their desk
From ceramic coasters to desktop inspiration cards, little upgrades can turn a desk into a space that feels fresh, organised, and inspiring. Perfect for starting the new school year on a positive note. Take a look through our 'Home Edit' to find the perfect choice!
A journal for their next adventure
A Journalfy travel journal is a thoughtful choice for teachers who love to explore and create memories beyond the classroom. Help them create memories around their next big adventure and they'll remember your thoughtfulness every time them open it!
A clear bag with endless uses
Our clear cosmetic bag is a multi-tasker: makeup, first aid kit, emergency essentials, or just somewhere to bring together all the bits and pieces that float around in a handbag or desk drawer. It’s functional, stylish, and makes perfect sense as a thank-you gift.
Elevated, stress-free gifting
The best part? You don’t need to spend hours wrapping or running around. We offer our signature black-and-white gift wrapping for a small cost — with every cent donated to Wildlife Warriors, the Australia Zoo charity. It’s effortless, meaningful, and makes your thank-you feel even more special.
Gratitude elevated
In the end, it’s not about the size of the gift, but the thought behind it. By choosing something unique and personal, you’re not just thanking a teacher — you’re also teaching your child the value of giving with intention. That’s the kind of thank-you that lingers long after the school year ends.
