Teacher Gifts Under $30
A lovely thank-you doesn’t need a class-sized budget. For school, kinder and childcare teachers, we’d choose something useful for their own time: a small candle, a body-care treat or a little moment to switch off.
These picks are each under $30. Add a card with one thing your child loved about the year — that’s the bit that makes it theirs.

Choosing for several teachers?
Keep the budget comfortable and give each person a separate note. For scented products, it helps to know whether they enjoy fragrance; if you’re unsure, ask us for another idea.
