Finding the perfect gifts for your favorite teachers can be tricky. After all, if anyone deserves an excellent end-of-year send-off, it's the people who teach your kids. Just ask Ree Drummond: She served as her own kids' teacher for over a decade. "The flexibility is perfect for our ranching lifestyle, allowing the kids the opportunity to work with Marlboro Man during busy times," Ree says. "Another benefit...is the sheer amount of time we get to spend together as a family." Suffice it to say, she knows firsthand just how challenging yet rewarding the task of teaching can be.

Let's face it, every day should be Teacher Appreciation Day. Teachers continually go above and beyond—and then some. Between crafting lesson plans, educating and caring for your kids, then spending hours outside of class grading and preparing —how on earth can you possibly repay them for their efforts? With fabulous thank you presents, of course! Just pair them with the sweetest thank you teacher messages in a card!

Many of the picks here count as gifts under $25 and even gifts under $10. You'll find gifts for her and gifts for him that would make even the most overworked teacher smile. No, convenient coffee mugs and illustrated note pads can never make up for the trials of teaching, but they don't hurt either. Whether they're a first year teacher or a seasoned pro, there's something here for everyone, including picks to cater to their unique hobbies. Many of these items can also be used both in and out of the classroom. Extra credit, anyone?
