They taught your kid to read, share and stop licking the glue stick. This funny teacher gift says the thank you every parent is quietly thinking.

Save for later ♡

Let’s be honest. Somewhere in that classroom, your child has done something you’ll only hear about at the next parent-teacher interview.

The teacher handled it. They deserve a mug.

A Funny Teacher Gift From the Parents

“Thanks for putting up with my kid all year” is written in big, bold, slightly wonky marker lettering in deep navy, so it’s easy to read and impossible to miss.

Around the words are little doodles that every teacher will recognise: a paper plane, a squiggle, a red lunchbox, a snapped crayon, a star and one suspicious muddy footprint.

Gratitude, With a Wink

Heartfelt gifts are lovely, but teachers get plenty of those. This one gets a laugh in the staffroom and still says thank you sincerely, which is a hard balance to strike.

It holds 11oz (roughly 325mL), plenty for the cuppa they’ve earned.

About this mug

Is this funny teacher gift appropriate to give?

Yes. It's a cheeky but friendly joke with no rude words, written from the parent's point of view, and teachers tend to love it.

Do you have more teacher gift mugs?

Yes. See all our teacher gift mugs for heartfelt, funny and Aussie designs for teachers, aides and educators.

Delivery and care

Do you deliver across Australia?

Yes, to every state and territory by Australia Post, and shipping is free when you order 2 or more items. We only ship within Australia.

How is the design printed, and will it last?

Every mug is hand-printed in Australia using sublimation printing on an 11oz ceramic mug. We like to be upfront: like every sublimation print, the colours will gradually soften with use and washing. It is made for everyday drinking, and a favourite mug that has worn in a little is part of its charm.

How do I look after it?

The sublimation print is dishwasher safe, so you can load it up with the rest of the kitchen. To keep the colours looking fresh for longer, a hand wash with a soft sponge is kinder than a scourer.
