Teachers and schools go above and beyond to educate, help and inspire children and young people. And so, with the end of the school year on its way, it’s natural to want to say thank you to the teacher, or teachers, who’ve taught and cared for your child all year. In fact, research shows that the number of people buying end of term gifts for teachers rose by 8.5% in 2024, with gifts being favoured over cards. But before you reach for that generic Gift Card, how about a Town & City Gift Card. It’s the teacher’s gift that gets FULL marks! Here’s why:
