Birthday presents for teachers: gifts that express gratitude (11–20)
seal case
Even nowadays, when the spread of electronic seals has begun to accelerate due to the COVID-19 pandemic, traditional seals still play an important role at work.
Precisely because it’s an item you bring out in important situations, a nice seal case will likely see plenty of use.
Also, seals are surprisingly hard to find when you need them, but if one is included as a gift from students, it will probably be kept with more care than before.
However, since it’s something you bring out in important situations, it’s best to avoid choosing an eccentric design that’s hard to show in front of others.
In conclusion
We’ve put together a comprehensive list of recommended birthday gifts for teachers who take care of your child at school or in cram school.
As mentioned at the beginning, it’s best to avoid items that are too expensive or bulky.
Heartfelt group messages or photo albums, as well as practical stationery, are especially recommended.
We hope this article helps you express your everyday gratitude to your teacher!
