Quick answer: the best gift for a teacher is one that holds a memory of the school year: a pupil's drawing, the class photo, a heartfelt message. At iFrame.pt we turn those gestures into personalised mugs, tiles and light-up plaques. Here are the ideas that touch the hearts of the people who spend all year teaching.
The end of the school year comes round, or World Teachers' Day on 5 October, and it's always the same question: what do you give the person who looked after and taught your children for months? The answer isn't in just any shop, it's in the memories from the classroom. A personalised gift says thank you in a way no card ever could.
1. A mug with your child's drawing
That drawing your child made with their teacher in mind deserves to last longer than a crumpled sheet at the bottom of a school bag. We turn it into a mug, exactly as it was drawn, to keep them company with every cuppa in the staffroom. It's the gift that always gets a smile, and sometimes even a tear.

2. A tile with the class photo
The whole class, with their teacher in the middle, on a tile that looks lovely on a desk or hung on the wall. A keepsake from a school year that will never come round again, to treasure forever.

3. A light-up plaque with a message
A message written by the class, lit up on an acrylic plaque with a wooden base. To the best teacher, thank you for everything you taught us. Simple, elegant and full of meaning, bringing a warm glow to any corner of the home.

4. A necklace with an engraved message
For a more personal gift, a gold necklace with a handwritten word engraved on it: a thank you and a heart, just as a pupil would write them. Subtle and delicate, so they can always keep the memory of that class close.
