Teacher Appreciation Week, May 4-8th, 2015, is a great time to let your children's teachers know how much you value the hard work, creativity, dedication, and PATIENCE they put in to educating students.

While it is true that it's the thought that really counts, it's often hard to come up with affordable and simple gifts that teachers will truly love and enjoy.

“A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.” – Henry Adams

So here are 10 easy teacher gifts that are sure to please!

Dinner In ... or out!
After a long day of grading test or chasing kids around the playground, who wouldn't love a break from cooking dinner with a Seamless Gift Card?! Or you can snag a great deal for a dinner out from a local restaurant at Restaurant.com.

Ice Cream Treat
Ice cream... you scream! It's finally getting into the summer season and pretty much anyone would enjoy stopping in at Cold Stone Creamery for a yummy, cool treat! Sprinkles please!

Movie Night
Purchase a Redbox Gift Card, a box of popcorn, and some movie candy or movie theater tickets for your favorite teacher and a friend.

Hand and Foot Gift Set
Make your own nail care gift set with fun, new summer nail polish colors, special soap, sanitizers, and lotion or purchase a gift card to a local nail salon for a mani/pedi for candle season.

Caffeine!
Skip the coffee mug (teachers are always gifted a million!) but a gift card for their favorite coffee and breakfast spot is sure to win your teachers affection and make their morning routine more enjoyable.

Bookworm Surprise
Some of the best days can be spent curled up on the couch or sitting in the park with a great book! Try a gift card for your teacher's Kindle or for those who love the feel of the pages order a Barnes&Noble gift card.

An Experience To Enjoy
Grab another parent or two and purchase an experience that your teacher won't forget such as a: cooking class, byob painting, Color Run, A fitness class pack (Yoga, Barre, Spin), comedy club, spa day, bike tour, dinner cruise or Broadway tickets!

Technology Love
A gift card to iTunes (Apple) or Google Play (Android) to download music and apps is a present for just about anyone!

Unique Stationary
Head over to PAPYRUS or a local art store to pick up some fun and unique blank cards, stationary, gel or calligraphy pens, stickers, notepads, sticky notecards and more!

A Note From The Heart
Last but not least....sometimes the best thing that we can give someone is a heartfelt thank you. Try writing a handwritten note to your child's teacher to tell them how they have personally affected you and your child's life or a reference letter for their portfolio.

What useful, unique, or creative Teacher Appreciation idea did you come up with or receive this week?
