Best Gift Baskets For Teachers From The Class of '25

As the school year comes to a close, it’s the perfect time to show heartfelt appreciation for the teachers who’ve gone above and beyond. These educators have nurtured growth, inspired confidence, and provided steady guidance through the academic journey, deserving more than just a simple “thank you.” An end-of-year gift is a meaningful way to celebrate their efforts and recognize their dedication.

At Baskits, we believe that a gift should feel as thoughtful as the gesture behind it. Our curated gift baskets offer a memorable way to express gratitude—beautifully packaged, full of high-quality treats, and designed with care. Whether you’re shopping for a favorite teacher, an entire team, or on behalf of a classroom, our collection offers the perfect way to end the year on a high note.

Top Luxury Gift Baskets for Teachers

For those looking to give a standout gift, our luxury gift baskets combine elegance, indulgence, and presentation. These are ideal for honoring a teacher who’s made a lasting impact, celebrating a retirement, or organizing a class-wide gift.

Our Picnic Gift Basket is a shining example of sophistication. Housed in a reusable gingham-lined picnic cooler, it features a curated selection of gourmet treats including Castello Brie cheese, Crackle & Pop water crackers, Dabble & Drizzle chocolate-covered biscuits, caramel truffles, chili nut mix, and Bonne Maman strawberry jam. Even better—it includes built-in plates, wine glasses, silverware, and a waterproof picnic blanket for a complete experience.

Luxury teacher gifts are especially great when:

• A group of parents pools together for one premium gift
  
  
• You’re acknowledging a long-serving or retiring teacher
  
  
• You want to offer a keepsake along with delicious Canadian treats
  
  

These high-end baskets are designed to impress while also feeling warm and personal, ideal for ending the school year with grace and gratitude.

Thoughtful and Affordable Teacher Appreciation Baskets

Gifting with intention doesn’t have to mean going overboard. Sometimes, the most meaningful gestures come in smaller, more personal packages. Our thoughtful and budget-conscious teacher baskets are perfect for parents looking to say thanks without the pressure of extravagance.

The Teacher Gift Basket is one of our most beloved options. It’s beautifully arranged with a Hatch Colombia coffee sachet, a sweet A+ sugar cookie by Baked With Joy, and an enamel “The Adventure Begins” mug—a keepsake they'll treasure with every morning cup of coffee.

For individual gifting or modest classroom budgets, these baskets strike the right balance:

• Affordable yet elevated with premium presentation
  
  
• Perfect for giving from a single student or family
  
  
• Filled with thoughtful essentials like coffee, cookies, and mugs
  
  

We design each of these baskets to feel purposeful and heartfelt because every teacher deserves recognition, no matter the budget.

Gift Baskets Featuring Canadian-Made Products

We take immense pride in sourcing from some of the best Canadian makers and brands. Supporting local is at the heart of what we do, and when it comes to teacher gifts, Canadian-made items bring a sense of authenticity and national pride to your gesture.

Consider adding a sweet touch with our Slice of Canada Maple Syrup—a beautifully bottled reminder of Canada’s most iconic flavor. Whether it’s nestled into a larger basket or gifted on its own, it’s a uniquely Canadian way to say thanks.

Many of our baskets feature locally sourced favorites:

• Artisanal chocolates and gourmet shortbread from Canadian producers
  
  
• Locally roasted coffee and premium teas
  
  
• Handcrafted preserves and snacks with Canadian ingredients
  
  

When you give a Canadian-made gift, you’re not just showing appreciation to your child’s teacher—you’re also supporting homegrown talent and small businesses across the country.

Personalized Gift Basket Options

Adding a personal touch can turn a thoughtful gift into something truly meaningful. Whether it’s customizing a mug, adding a monogram to a notebook, or including a handwritten message, we offer plenty of ways to make your teacher’s gift one-of-a-kind.

Many of our baskets include engravable elements, allowing you to personalize keepsakes like:

• Mugs and drinkware
  
  
• Acacia wood cutting boards
  
  
• Notebooks or reusable accessories
  
  

Looking to go the extra mile? Our Custom Gift is here to help create a fully custom gift solution tailored to your teacher’s preferences or your classroom’s theme. We’ll work with you to curate a basket that feels special, memorable, and just right for the occasion.

Every gift also includes a handwritten card, giving you the chance to express gratitude in your own words—something that can often mean the most.
