If you're the parent of a child in primary or secondary school or the friend of a teacher, you know how hard they work. You’ve probably already told them that you’re super grateful for the time and effort they put in, but it's always nice to get a little extra recognition. Teachers are the backbone of our society and deserve to be thanked for all that they do—not just at this time of year, but all year round!

If you're looking for a gift idea that says "thank you" without breaking the bank, here are some great options.

Caffeine is the fuel that keeps teachers running. They’re always on the go, and so in order to stay alert and focused throughout a long day of teaching they often rely on tea and coffee. That’s why our Tea & Coffee Gift Hamper makes such a thoughtful gift for teachers! This hamper contains a range of tea options including Immunity Tea, Chai tea and Mayde tea as well as organic plunger coffee. The hamper also contains snacks like crispbread, chutneys and macadamia nuts - enough to keep them going all day long!

If you’re looking for a way to say thank you to a teacher, we suggest you take a look at our Thank You Christmas Hamper. This hamper has everything a teacher needs to kick back and relax after a long school year. This hamper includes a bottle of Angove Organic Shiraz, roasted macadamia nuts, Butterbursts, crispbread, chutney, Daily Bar superbite, candy canes and bon bons. 

You can't go wrong with a planner for your favourite teacher. Teacher planners are a great way for teachers to keep track of their lesson plans and grading, but they're also useful for keeping track of classroom activities and how each student is doing during the semester. They make a fun, practical Christmas gift for teachers and are a great way to celebrate the end of the school year and the beginning of a new one.

If you’re looking to spread a little bit of Christmas cheer to a teacher who deserves a pat on the back, we’d suggest giving them the gift of our Merry Christmas Hamper. This hamper contains Byron Bay cookies, Wallaby Bites, Lemon Chiffon, Butterbursts, candy canes and a bon bon. It’s a great gift for getting them into the Christmas spirit!

Dedicated teachers deserve the best of the best. Make them feel special and thank them for all that they do by giving them the gift of yummy gourmet treats. Our Best of Byron gift hamper contains loads of local goodies, including macadamias, crispbreads, chutney, Butterbursts, cookies, sweet & salty peanuts, Kitz Living Foods and milk chocolate coated coffee beans.
