The end of the school year is quickly approaching, and if your kids had an amazing teacher this year, you're probably starting to think of some way to say "Thank you for putting up with my children!" 

For the best teachers, only a unique, interesting gift will do. Here are a few ideas to get you started:

For the teacher who sent you home a note every week to tell you how your kid was doing (or, you know, every day...), the Sloth Sticky Memo set is a super cute way to let them know you appreciated the effort and to encourage the trend for the next year's parents.

In today's classrooms, technology is everywhere. Computers, tablets, Smart Boards--you name it, it's being utilized. Give your favorite teacher a bonus with the Extendable Stylus. It includes a hidden ink pen, as well; and when it comes to teaching, multi-functional is awfully helpful.

Otto the Otter can keep a great teacher company (and maybe make a few kids giggle along the way) as the most adorable tape dispenser ever. He's just chilling, handing out tape, and bringing smiles along the way.

For the most trying days, when your hero teacher needs a minute to remember why exactly they took the job, the FCTRY Little Giants Einstein can be the perfect little pick-me-up. And if you happen to have an amazing art teacher in your life, FCTRY Little Giants Warhol can be a buddy, too!

Highlighters, markers, pens, crayons, pencils--we're used to seeing these on the back-to-school shopping lists, but teachers use them, too! Make it a little easier on them with an 8-in-1 Highlighter. They can find any color they need right at their fingertips.

You've no doubt seen the decorating work that goes into making a classroom complete, and among the staples, tape, and thumbtacks, there are a lot of magnets. Great for hanging things on metal storage cabinets and window frames, teachers can get a lot of use from just a few good magnets, which is why the Hearts & Blooms Magnet and Standis a great choice for a gift.

Whatever your favorite teacher teaches, they're your favorite for a reason, and every little bit of encouragement helps!
