Finding the perfect gifts for teachers can be a tricky, tricky thing. After all, if anyone deserves an excellent end-of-year send-off or Christmas present (or epic Mother's Day gift or Father's Day gift), it's the people who teach your kids. Just ask Ree Drummond: She served as her own kids' teacher for over a decade. "I sometimes completely forget the fact that homeschooling, to so many people, is a foreign, unnatural, and sometimes shocking concept," Ree says. Suffice it to say, she knows firsthand just how challenging the task 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 presents, of course! Er, make that fabulous, affordable presents.

Many of the picks here count as gifts under $25 and even gifts under $10. In the next few slides, you'll find gifts that would make even the most overworked teacher smile. No, adorable coffee mugs, scented candles, and floral sticky 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. Many of these items can also be used both in and out of the classroom. Extra credit, anyone? So until you're able to send the teacher in your life on a seven-year cruise, bring on all the personalized pencils and cute planners!
