It is important to choose a gift for a teacher, taking into account his tastes, interests, and hobbies.

What should you not give?
There are gifts that should not be given to teachers on Teacher's Day, as you may make a mistake with the gift and, moreover, inadvertently offend the person.
Don't give:
- Alcoholic drinks . You can only give them if you know exactly what the teacher prefers. Otherwise, you won’t get the gift right and will just waste your money.
- Cloth. Clothes can be donated by close people and friends, but not by the students’ parents or the students themselves. It is best to give a certificate in the amount of 5-15 thousand rubles, then the teacher himself will be able to purchase what he wants.
- Useless things. For example, a skateboard, which an adult professor definitely wouldn’t ride.
- Children's gifts. In honor of a professional holiday, it is worth giving something that will be intended for the teacher, and not for his child or grandchild.
- Too expensive gifts. This is a kind of hint that the gift was given with unclean thoughts. In addition, it will be very inconvenient for a tactful teacher to accept an expensive gift.
Is it possible to give money?
You should not give money to a teacher on Teacher's Day, since this fact of donation will be perceived as a bribe. If the investigative committee finds out that a teacher was given an envelope with money for his professional day, then not only the parents, but also the teacher himself will suffer from this.
Teachers like things made from the heart or with their own hands. They will not accept money, for this reason it is definitely not worth giving them such a gift. For some teachers, money from parents is humiliation, since it is a kind of hint that a person does not earn well. Also, sometimes such a gift is regarded as a payment for good grades.
What to give a 1st grade teacher on Teacher's Day
Pupils in primary school can seek the help of their parents to jointly decide on a future gift. It should be something memorable, for example a photo album, in which there will be several photographs of the class, and let the teacher fill in the blank pages himself.
A photo frame with class pictures placed in it will decorate the desktop and remind the teacher of his school days.
A handmade poster or photo collage, brightly decorated, with children’s drawings and wishes from adults, will make the teacher smile.
What flowers to give to the teacher
1. The bouquet should consist of flowers in neutral shades, without hints of romance. Preferably lilac, orange, blue, yellow, pink colors. You can dilute the composition with several red and white flowers.
2. The age of the teacher is of great importance. The older the teacher, the richer the tone the bouquet should have.
3. For a personal gift you will need a bouquet consisting of 5-25 inflorescences. The team can present you with a beautifully decorated flower basket.
4. It is important to decorate the bouquet beautifully. Even the simplest composition, elegantly and unusually packaged, will bring joy to the teacher.
5. For the class teacher, the bouquet should be different from the bouquet for subject students. This will show how important and significant the person is.
