Wedding gifts for teachers can be practical --- or not.
If you know a teacher who's getting married, you might want to get him or her a gift. Wedding gift ideas for a teacher don't necessarily have to be different than for someone in another profession. However since teaching offers a lower salary than many other professions that require a four-year degree, an item that is useful can be a thoughtful wedding gift.

Electronics
While you may not be able to afford a laptop computer as your gift to the bride and groom, other electronics may be within your budget. An electronic organizer may be a useful gift for a teacher with a hectic schedule, with many ranging in price from $10 to $60. An iPod can help a teacher enjoy his or her favorite tunes during a free period or time off. Older models can be had for a little over $100.

Appliances
A cheap $20 coffee maker can be an appropriate wedding gift for a teacher who spends late hours grading papers. A mini-refrigerator at about $50-60 for the teacher's office can be handy to keep snacks --- or treats for students. A mini-microwave oven would also be useful for a teacher who brings lunch to work, and costs around $150.

Subscription/Gift Certificate
A subscription to a magazine/journal about education-related topics can be a practical wedding gift for a teacher. Possiblies include Education Week or the Journal of Research in Childhood Education. Another possible gift for a friend or colleague who is a teacher might be a gift certificate to an office supply store or bookstore. A wedding gift that helps a teacher unwind might include some spa time and treatments.
