Gifts teachers DON’T want

[Anonymous]

Hey look, we’re grateful for the thought the vast majority of the time. But please don’t send in opened-anything or unsealed anything! The opened cookies and unsealed lipbalms went right into the trash. Why do parents do this?

I had no idea that sending in used/open/unsealed items as gifts was a thing.

I usually did Starbucks gift cards.

Ewww - people really do this?

Nothing with an apple on it or that says No. 1 teacher or some version of that. Ugh!

Instead of posting here, go tell those parents about what you did with ghir gifts.

Everyone gets dumb gifts every now and then. No big deal. Throw away and move on.

If you want a specific gift, then when you are asked say so. I asked our teacher multiple times and got no answer.

Please no highly scented candles, lotions, or hand sanitizers.

There’s a questionnaire we fill out. There are plenty of ideas I gave. For the record, my favorite thing is a handwritten note from a student. I need nothing more more. But crikey, opened stuff is awful.

Yeah, because there’s a tactful way to do that.

Last year I asked the teacher to pick a few stores and suggestions and she gave it to me. This year nothing so she'll get a generic gift card.

Why do people assume teachers need hundreds of dollars worth of Starbucks?

Amazon.

Amazon.

Teachers don’t get much sleep and few schools provide coffee unless it’s a meeting.

I LOVE adding all those giftcards to my Starbucks app! I go there quite often.

I hate coffee and would hate to spend money on expensive coffee. Target please
