$5 Gift Card Ideas for Teachers: Inexpensive Christmas Gift for Teachers

Emily Harmon
Teachers get an abundance of wonderful and appreciated gifts from their students each Christmas. From a teacher's perspective, however, there are only so many apple themed ornaments that will fit on the Christmas tree. One of the best Christmas gifts a teacher can receive from a student is simply a gift card. The gift card certainly does not need to have a high value. Just a $5 gift card is very much appreciated by any teacher. Here are the top five $5 gift cards that make perfect teacher Christmas gifts.

$5 Teacher Gift Card Christmas Gift: Starbucks. Many teachers need that morning coffee to get going for their early morning classes, but with a teacher salary, Starbucks is simply too expensive. A $5 gift card to Starbucks will easily buy a great coffee drink and makes a wonderful Christmas gift card for teachers.

$5 Teacher Gift Card Christmas Gift: Fast Food Restaurant. A $5 gift card to a fast food restaurant makes a wonderful Christmas gift for your child's teacher. Many teachers spend time at home working on grades, lesson plans, and activities. The opportunity to drive through a fast food restaurant for dinner will be appreciated by any teacher.

$5 Teacher Gift Card Christmas Gift: Godiva. There are very few teachers out there that do not appreciate great chocolate, and who makes better chocolate than Godiva? A $5 Godiva Chocolate gift card for your child's teacher for Christmas is sure to produce a huge smile and heartfelt thank you.

$5 Teacher Gift Card Christmas Gift: Gas Card. With evening meetings and trips to the store to buy supplies, teachers often drive more than their regular morning and afternoon commute. Though $5 does not buy much gas these days, any reduction in cost will be appreciated by any teacher. A $5 gas gift card is a great Christmas gesture from your child to her teacher.

$5 Teacher Gift Card Christmas Gift: Grocery Store. Everyone needs groceries and $5 off a grocery bill would be appreciated by anyone. Choose a $5 gift card to your local grocery store to give your child's teacher for Christmas. Anyone would be happy with this great $5 gift card.

Teachers typically live on a fairly fixed income and the little treats and gifts they receive from their students each Christmas are so very appreciated. Make your child's teacher smile this Christmas by giving one of these $5 gift cards perfect for teachers.

    These are all fantastic ideas. Like you said, teachers can use only so many apple themed items, and most probably have bushels. LOL These are actually very useful ideas. Thanks!
