Let's face it; teachers work hard and do a lot for our kiddos. So, when it comes time to show appreciation, you want to get them a gift you know they'll love and use for years to come!

As a teacher myself, I think a personalized lanyard is the perfect teacher gift! And here's why!

• Teacher Lanyards are functional! Every teacher has to carry classroom keys, car keys, masks, whistles, pens, and ID badges. A lanyard is a perfect place to keep all of these items handy throughout the day.
• Teacher lanyards are fun and cute! They're a great way to compliment a teacher's style and personality. It'll brighten their day!
• Teacher lanyards are a gift that teachers aren't used to getting! While we teachers appreciate any gift we receive, a lanyard isn't the typical candy, candle, or gift card we're used to receiving. It'll stand out as something we've never gotten.
• Teachers will use the lanyard daily. They'll remember your appreciation each time they put it on.
• They're personalized! Everyone loves receiving something with their name on it. And, having their name displayed will make communicating with students and coworkers even easier.
• They come in tons of styles and colors. This allows you to pick a gift that you know the recipient will love. And when you pair this with personalization, it ensures the teacher will get a totally unique gift...even if they already have a lanyard.
• Teacher lanyards are affordable! For under $25, you can purchase a unique, personalized teacher gift that will be worn and cherished daily.

And, don't just take my word for it! Our teacher lanyards made BuzzFeed's list of 31 best teacher gifts!

With all this in mind, you can't go wrong with a personalized lanyard as the perfect teacher gift, be it for the holidays, back-to-school, teacher appreciation, or just as a general "thank-you" any time of year!
