School has just arrived or is just days away. Everything is ready except maybe your kids! But, now that school clothes and schools supplies are sorted out, it’s time to think about how to welcome the new teacher and show them how much you appreciate what they do for your child.

We’ve put together a few gift and flower ideas for teachers in the Albuquerque area that fit all types of budgets and offer a range of styles and colors to suit every teacher.

Flower Gift Ideas for Teachers

If you do not know the teacher and not sure what type of flowers or floral arrangement they would like, a great place to start is our online flower shop’s top sellers page where you can find our most popular flower arrangements.

This includes our Signature Design series, which are unique to Albuquerque and created by our incredible floral design team. Additionally, we have glass cube arrangements that are perfect for perching on a teacher’s desk or filing cabinet as well as flower baskets that can be displayed in the classroom.

Plant Gift Ideas for Teachers

If you are not sure if the new teacher will like flowers, you can opt for a green plant, which adds a bit of nature to the classroom as well as is known to be a healthy addition to any space thanks to the beneficial qualities that plants offer.

We have a wide range of green plants that are also designed to last a long time, making it a gift that keeps on giving throughout the year.  Our green plant selection includes succulents, blooming plants, and dish gardens.

Other Gift Ideas for Teachers

Another great option to welcome the new teacher is a gift of gourmet food or a gift basket overflowing with different goodies. The possibilities are endless and provide a great way to personalize each teacher gift you hand out this year. We have fresh fruit baskets, junk food baskets, coffee baskets, assortments of different sweet and savory gifts, delicacies and chocolates, and gourmet food like lobster tails and steak.

We have created separate online shopping areas that also provide gift ideas for women and gift ideas for men that include non-food items and may be appealing when you do not know what type of food your child’s teacher prefers.

We’ve also got balloons and cards, which are a fun and thoughtful way to let the teacher know that you are looking forward to working with them on making your child a success.
