Every family has one. The year a child stopped dreading school, and the person responsible, remembered by name a decade later. This ceramic keepsake says what that is worth: "A Truly Great Teacher Is Hard To Find, Difficult To Part With, And Impossible To Forget."

Glossy ceramic, hand pressed, with a graphic fused under a glossy glaze that keeps its shine. The last day before break, a classroom change, a move to another school: this is the one.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What do you give a teacher on the last day before winter break?
A: The last day before break calls for something small that can go straight into a bag, since teachers are carrying home half a classroom that afternoon. A keepsake weighs nothing and still means something.

Q: Is this suitable for a coach, tutor or aide as well as a classroom teacher?
A: The saying never names a subject or a grade, so it fits anyone who taught a child something and had to let them move on. Coaches and aides get overlooked at gift time.

Q: What is a good group gift when several parents want to chip in?
A: When families pool together, one keepsake plus a shared card beats a stack of separate presents to carry to a car. It also spares anyone comparing gifts.

Q: How should I store this between Christmases?
A: Wrap it in tissue and keep it where nothing heavier can press against the glazed face. Stored that way it comes out looking the same every year.

Q: What is a good gift for a teacher who is changing schools?
A: A teacher moving on is leaving a community rather than a job, so the gift should be about being remembered rather than about the new position. This one is built entirely around that idea.

Q: Do teachers prefer gift cards or keepsakes?
A: Teachers will tell you gift cards are the practical choice, and they are, but the keepsakes are what stay on the shelf twenty years later. Giving both covers it, if you can.
