End-of-School Gift Guide: What to Buy Teachers/Educators

The end of the school year is approaching…

Let's take the time to say THANK YOU to the teachers and educators who spend every day with our little ones. Acknowledge their efforts by offering them a chance to relax after another challenging school year!

The moms on the Shop moi ça team brainstormed a ton of original local gift ideas for them. We even created a themed collection for teachers and educators.

Always practical: Stationery

My teacher friend told me that all teachers love getting stationery. They go through enough of it that it's never a wasted gift. We suggest this beautiful Papier & Latté gift set (a Shop moi ça! exclusive) or their notebooks and planners, or those from Baltic Club or Mimi & August, all made in Quebec.

Travel books to discover Quebec

• Tested and Approved: Quebec in over 100 Extraordinary Experiences (Parfum d’encre)
• Mom Has a Plan (Vol. 2): Family Road Trips by Odile Archambault, Marianne Prairie, and Caroline Dostie (Parfum d’encre)
• Or a gift card from Les Libraires or your local bookstore. Let's support independent booksellers!

A well-deserved moment of relaxation

Oh yes, relaxation, they absolutely deserve it! So let's get them candles, a deluxe Dead Sea bath salts set that smells heavenly, or an Amma Thérapie heated shoulder cushion.

For a set, the Bouquet box is perfect and delicate. Teachers love Mimi & August reusable mugs!

Treats for those with a sweet and savory tooth

Who doesn't love getting good food? No one.

You can spoil them with chocolate from a local chocolatier like Rochef Chocolatier, Juliette et Chocolat, Choco de Léa, État de choc, Catherine Méra, etc.

Or a nice set of local products, like our Snack Break box or the Munchies box for those on a smaller budget.

And don't forget the lovely KANEL Bouquet of Flavors spice set! This selection is per-fect for adding umami to dishes... or popcorn! Just ask our colleague Frédérique!

Well-deserved holidays…

It's not something you give as a gift, but you can encourage them to have a good time with the Happy Hour box, the Patio Lover box, or a camping-themed one. We also think of 3D cocktail bombs that are perfect for mocktails too.

Plants to green up their office

Giving a cactus or a pretty plant is, in our opinion, always a winner! It's also a gift for next year's class if the teacher leaves it in the classroom. Folia Design, Jardin de Mathilde, or Floralies Jouvence are wonderful stores to find beautiful plants.

There's also this Cactus box which is perfect for plant lovers.

The nicest extra touch: a greeting card

Write a short note to accompany your box or a more personalized message in a greeting card from a Quebec artist, chosen from our selection.

There will be some very spoiled teachers and educators with local products this year! And they will certainly remember you and your little ones with these beautiful gifts.
