Your child's teacher(s) may appreciate a mug that doesn't have apples plastered all over it. This pretty set includes a matching coaster and costs $2 at Dollarama. Pop it into a gift bag with a tin of Pirouline chocolate hazelnut wafer cookies costing $1.50 or some homemade treats.

There are also boxed coffee motif mugs that come with ceramic spoons and would be appropriate for either a male or a female teacher or coach. Total cost with cookies, $3.50.
