Teachers are amazing. We’ve created a Gift Guide for Teachers in Saskatoon. Educators continue to work hard and help children every day. This year, teachers and education assistants have continued to teach our children and make them feel loved. I’ve been grateful to be able to send my son to school, knowing that the staff are there to try to help him learn and grow. He’s been grateful to have them in his life as well. Every year, I see people asking for gift ideas for the most wonderful people, and I wanted to try to help. I’ve even made sure to ask teachers what they have loved in the past. My family loves giving homemade gifts and a gift of experience. Show them how much you appreciate them with some of these gift ideas.
Gift Guide for Teachers in Saskatoon
YXE Smash Therapy Inc. Give Yourself a Break. Speaking from experience, Smash Therapy is a wonderful way to spend an evening. It would be the perfect therapy for school staff. YXE Smash Therapy has gift cards!
Massage certificates: The ultimate self-care and relaxation after a year with your kids!
Wanuskewin Heritage Park: Give them the gift of activity. This is a good one for teachers to share with their families. Grab some certificates to this beautiful place!
Wet Paint Pottery: Let your kid’s teachers get crafty (without the kids)! Wet Paint Pottery offers fun evenings and the opportunity to be very creative!
Nutrien Playland at Kinsmen Park: This is another family-oriented one! Give your teacher a gift she can enjoy with her family. The train, Ferris wheel and carousel are perfect summer activities. You can grab a Plex-Pack for their family.
Saskatoon Greenhouses: Plants are a great way to thank the teachers for helping your children grow. Some of them also have plant classes for more creative fun!
Coffee cards: The gift of coffee never grows old. Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring – coffee is never out of season! (And they can also grab a tea or other drink just in case they don’t do coffee!)
Wine: I know not all teachers drink but if you know they are okay with it, find them a nice bottle OR a gift certificate to a local liquor store.
Delicious Food: May I suggest a gift certificate for the Best Hamburgers in Saskatoon, the best Saskatoon Ice Cream Shops, or Saskatoon’s Best Doughnuts. It’ll be perfect for your teacher with friends or family.
If the teachers love sweet treats, check out The Shoppe. Find them at 490 2 Ave S #112, Saskatoon.
Not only is River Layne Chocolate delicious but it’s absolutely gorgeous as well. Find them at 1736 Quebec Avenue.
Books Books Books: In my personal opinion, you can NEVER go wrong with books. Grab them a gift certificate from a book store like McNally Robinson and they’ll have entertainment for summer!
Fun School Supplies: Pens, notebooks, staplers – bonus if they are personalized! There are a lot of local places in Saskatoon that can personalize items for you.
Hand-Made Cards: A hand-made card with a personal message from you and your child, might just be perfect. Take the time to let these teachers know how much you appreciate them.
Hand-made Gifts: Take a browse on Pinterest and find a perfect gift to make with your little one! Be as creative as you’d like. And if you’re anything like me, add in some teacher puns: “Can we TACO bout what an amazing teacher you are?” A friend told me she got a hand-sewn tote bag and loved it. Home-made treats are also a sweet idea.
Charities: One friend said her favourite gift was when people donated to the charities she supported.
The Hobnobber This is an amazing store with a lot of teacher appreciation ideas made by Saskatchewan vendors. Find them at 417 33rd Street West.
Don’t forget to you can get some ideas from the Summer Fun Bucket List with Saskatoon Summer Events to choose from! Let these amazing teachers enjoy Saskatoon’s wonderful summer.
Saskatoon has so many fantastic options for gifts – a gift of experience or gifts to remind them of the difference they’re making. I hope this gives you a start to finding the perfect way to show your teachers how much they mean to you and your children. Enjoy these last couple of weeks of school and thank a teacher for all the work they do.
