Everyone wants to show their child/ren's Morahs and Rebbes appreciation and Hakaros Hatov, that is a given. There's a lot of conversation this time of year of what teachers may or may not like. Some people just get overwhelmed by the amount of teachers Rebbes, therapists, and/or office staff they may have to gift and end up just skipping the whole thing.
We've heard first hand from teachers that while cash and/or a gift is always appreciated, the sincere gratitude and thought is what really touches them. So whatever you decide to give the teachers, Rebbes, or therapists make sure you spend some time writing down your kind thoughts in a sincere card.
Start with what's most important, the sentiment. Take some time to think about the highlights of the year, if a teacher went the extra mile for your child, or any specific thing you remember your child mentioning. You can even involve your kid and have them write a few lines or draw a picture. If you can't think of anything, just know that regardless they showed up day in and day out and put their best foot forward to educate and enrich your child.
We chose
These Shimmery Cards because they work for male and female, are extra special with the foil, and don't have any words making them a great pack of cards to keep on hand for whenever you need to add that special touch.
Hear us out! Cash is king and is always appreciated. However, tip money disappears in minutes, and can go to the groceries, gas, or pocket change. There is something special and different that happens with a gift card - the person is given "permission" to spend that money on themselves - on something they actually want.
Sephora is great for women, and even if they're not so into makeup they can get a nice perfume, skin care, shampoo, etc, that they usually wouldn't spend on themselves.
For Rebbes, a giftcard to the local Judaica store is a great option, or perhaps a department store like Macys where they can put the money towards a nice purchase.
It's sweet, thoughtful, and comes beautifully packaged already so this is a great option for a Morah.
Ask your child if their teacher drinks a lot of iced coffee - if they do this is a fun gift for the iced coffee-holic! The
Hyperchiller stays in the freezer and turns hot coffee into iced coffee in minutes.
Find a nice vase and include a note "Thank You For Helping Me Grow This Year" for a cute quote to connect to your gift.
Including extra thread and buttons, deodorant, stain remover, stain remover and more little helpers to ensure that every day is a great day :) A cute little
Kit that will put a smile on your Morah's face.
Go for a school supplies that are a little fancier than your every day, such as a fancy stapler, nice pen, or large, new pack of
Sharpies. You can write on your card: "Thank you for keeping me sharp this year!"
Delicious chocolate truffles are a great gift for pretty much any occasion! Include a handwritten Thank You note and you're good to go. These milchig truffles from
The Nuttery can make any day better :)
No doubt teacher's can feel a bit of burnout after a full year. Rekindle their passion for teaching with a nice warm cup of

Upgrade their air freshener! This stone
Tefillas Haderech hangs from the rear view mirror and gets sprayed with the included spray to give incredible long-lasting scent. You pretty much can't go wrong with anything from Waterdale!
They'll really remember you and your child with this elegant
Birchas Habayis plaque. Modern, classy and meaningful.
Or a cute at-home
Mani Set. Again, something that they may not make time for ordinarily, but with a gift card they may actually be inclined to go to the salon for a little extra self-care.
