If you'd like to gift your teacher something other than cards, then you have to keep in mind to gift something useful.

You can also give tiny keepsakes or wall-mountable decorations as these are still useful as décor.

A funny showpiece or painting might break you and your friends into splits of laughter, but these are hardly the right items to be gifted to your teacher. Even if you share a very easy-going rapport with your teacher, always respect the delicacy and significance of the relation. Be mindful only to give items which will never embarrass your teacher in front of everyone and instead, always make them proud of their students. Remember, they should be able to showcase their gifts and cards to anyone and everyone without any hesitations. A teacher is most proud and content when they get to show other people, the love, respect, and gratitude they receive from their students in the form of gestures, words, gifts, or cards.
