End of the school year, which gift to offer to teachers?

‘Be grateful for what you learn from the others.’ This quote is relevant especially when dealing with our children’s teachers. Only a few days away from the end of the school year, we have been thinking about the best gift idea and best way to thank our children’s teachers (and of course, nannies and classroom assistants). These people are by our children’s side daily and they are the ones who help them grow up and evolve. So, who is better able to answer our questions than teachers themselves? We have therefore chosen to ask a few of them and find out their top 5 favourite gifts.

N°1 : personalised gifts !

So, what’s the best gift idea for a teacher? Personalised gifts, hand-made cards and drawings as well as DIY gifts are undoubtedly very popular, as testified by Julie, grade 1 teacher and Lucille, prep teacher. According to them, these gifts reflect, in its purest form, a child’s love for his teacher. Edouard, middle school teacher, is fond of technology and testifies that he prefers ‘high-tech’ gifts. Luccia, prep teacher and Chabadou, kindergarten teacher both love plants and lovely flower bouquets, as these always refresh and brighten their home or classroom.

Sophie, who is a lower primary trainee teacher, has baffled us with what she terms her ‘holidays assortment gift’ which comprises sunscreen, sunglasses and beach towel. Who would have thought about this?

Why not chocolate ?

Nevertheless, chocolate remains THE unbeatable gift (yes, our teachers have a sweet tooth and we should not forget that chocolate helps fight depression and is a much-appreciated treat after such a long school year!). Delphine has confirmed this fact: ‘I loved receiving this lovely chocolate in the form of a pencil case; I am fond of chocolate and it was delicious!” For this reason, Planète Chocolat offers you a “thank-you gift box” filled with an assortment of pralines made with 100% pure cocoa butter, without GMO, colouring or preservatives and crafted by our master chocolatiers. What a beautiful way to celebrate your child’s teacher and to thank them in the best possible way! Just like there are a thousand different ways to say thank you, the gift box offers you a thousand different chocolate praline flavours to choose from (well, technically only 18, but that’s already a good start!)
