Almost everyone loves to receive gifts. People are pleased when they are remembered and thus taken care of. Any teacher, be it a woman or a man, will also be indifferent to a gift as a sign of attention, respect and gratitude for her or his work.
The choice of a gift for any holiday is usually not difficult for a teacher. But when the question concerns what to present to a male teacher as a gift, then you have to think a little.
General rules for choosing a gift
Before choosing something specific, it is worth remembering that the teacher is an official person. Therefore, in no case should you give a very expensive thing. This can put a person in a rather awkward position. An exception is a gift from the entire team.
The chosen subject should not be intimate, personal.
Such things are given only to close people.
The gift should not be with any intent or hint, otherwise it can cause a feeling of resentment, it is better to choose a neutral one.
It's good if the gift is original. This means that the donor chose the present with a soul and a desire to really please his teacher.
What to present as a gift to a male teacher
On the eve of a holiday, the gift, respectively, may be associated with it. For example, if it’s New Year’s, you can donate a bottle of champagne and a box of chocolates with New Year’s decoration.
Gifts such as good cognac, gourmet coffee or tea are neutral and should be wrapped beautifully and in an unusual way. And remember, give alcohol to a male teacher only if you are his colleague, not a student.
Each teacher has to keep many different records. A set of pens or one quality pen in a gift box would be a very good solution. A well-bound diary, an organizer or a beautiful desk set will do. Warm and sincere words of congratulations can be engraved on them.
The gift may be related to a subject taught by the teacher, such as an encyclopedia disc or multimedia program. Any dictionaries, reference books, encyclopedias are also an excellent choice.
Recently, it has become fashionable to give a gift card. Such a present can be presented to a teacher, but it is better to attach something memorable to it. For example, a collage from a photo, which depicts a teacher with his students or colleagues, a video with congratulations from students, if the gift is collective. If the gift comes from one person, you can give something made with your own hands, or buy a small souvenir like a tea mug with a picture of the teacher.
If you decide to give a bouquet of flowers, remember that men are presented with tall flowers like gladioli or irises.
Any gift must be chosen and given from the heart. The energy of such a thing is always felt, therefore even a very inexpensive trifle can sometimes remain with a person for a long and pleasant memory.
