What is a good teacher appreciation gift?

Something personal rather than another mug. A custom thank-you song is written from what that teacher specifically did, costs $20, and arrives as an MP3 plus a private reveal page.

Can a class chip in on one?

One person completes the prompts, but the answers can come from anyone. Gather them first and enter the best ones.

Is a song too much for a teacher?

It depends what they did. For a small thank-you, a card is proportionate. For someone who changed how a year went, a song is closer to the right size.

A custom song for a teacher

Teachers receive a great many mugs. Very few of them ever find out which specific thing they said turned out to matter, because by the time you work it out you have long since left the building.

A song is a way of telling them, in a format that does not require you to write a letter you would never send.

You said it like it was nothing, on your way out,
and I have been building on it for eleven years —
I doubt you remember saying it at all.

From a thank-you song written for a secondary school teacher

Name the actual moment

Not "thank you for everything" — the sentence they said after class, the week they noticed something was wrong, the essay they refused to let you hand in as it was. Specifics are the entire gift here.

Works for mentors and coaches too

You set the relationship yourself, so this covers teachers, lecturers, coaches, mentors, and the manager who taught you how to do the job properly.

From one student or a whole class

One person fills in the prompts, but nothing stops you collecting the best answers from a group first and entering those. The lyrics only know what you type.

How it works

Pick the occasion

Birthday, wedding, memorial, or just because — choose the moment the song is for.

Share your memories

A few minutes later, two full versions of your song. Preview both, pick your favorite.
