Teachers deserve all the thanks in the world, but there are some gifts you can give them to help show that thanks as well. Popcorn gifts are always a good option for anybody and any occasion.
Popcorn gifts for teachers are a great way to show appreciation for the teacher. You can get them anything from popcorn and movie tickets, to a tin of gourmet popcorn, to making a creative popcorn pun note to go along with the gift. Popcorn is an easy gift to show your thanks.
While you may have decided that popcorn is the right route to take when getting a gift for a teacher, there are some different options you have when you’re choosing the specific gift. It’s important to know your teacher well and to know what type of popcorn gift they would appreciate the most.
What Are Fun Popcorn Gifts for Teachers?
Teachers have one of the most important, yet challenging jobs out there. They deserve all the thanks and appreciation we can give them. Thankfully, many people realize this and it’s become fairly common to get gifts for teachers to show appreciation and thank them for the great job they’re doing.
With so many different ideas out there, it can be hard to know exactly which route to take. If you’ve decided to go with a popcorn-centered gift, you’ve come to the right place. This can be a fun gift that is tasty and visually pleasing. There are also lots of ways to personalize it for your favorite teacher.
Create Popcorn Puns
One of the most common ways to give gifts nowadays is to include a note that involves some clever puns. There are many different ways you can choose to incorporate this into your gift for your teacher. No matter what type of popcorn gift you decide to go with, a popcorn pun in the note will help tie the whole package together.
Below is a list of various puns you could use in your note:
- Just popping in to say thanks for being a great teacher!
- This may sound corny, but I just had to pop in and say thank you!
- Thanks to you, this year has been popping!
- Just popping in to say have a great year/summer!
- To a very POPular teacher: thanks for being so great!
- Just popping in to say no one is a butter teacher than you!
Puns might be as cheesy as popcorn is buttery, but it’s a good way to tie in your gift and your thanks into one neat package.
Gift Some Gourmet Popcorn

Gourmet popcorn is another good option for any sort of gift, whether it be for teachers, friends, family, coworkers, or neighbors. Everyone appreciates some high-quality, delicious popcorn.
Another perk about gourmet popcorn is they usually come already packaged up nicely in a tin or a basket. They also will usually have gift options for you to purchase. This helps make the gift look really nice for when you give it to your teacher.
When choosing gourmet popcorn as a gift for your teacher, there are many flavors, combinations, or options you can choose from. This gives you the freedom to truly make the gift personalized and give your teacher exactly what they want and enjoy.
Gourmet popcorn companies often have packages available for all sorts of occasions. They may even offer a teacher appreciation package as well. This makes things easier for you when you’re trying to put together a thank you gift or holiday gift for your teacher.
Gift Popcorn and a Movie
Nothing goes together quite like freshly popped popcorn and a good movie. What better way to give popcorn as a gift than with movie tickets on the side? Nothing says thank you to a teacher like giving them an excuse to get out for an evening and take a break from all the hard work they do.
This can easily be done by getting them movie tickets and a gift card for snacks or getting them a gift card to a local movie theater. You could even give them a gift of popcorn with a free movie rental so they can enjoy a movie night from the comfort of their own home.
This is a great way to give them a nice relaxing night off and to express your thanks to them.
Create a Popcorn Basket
Gift baskets are another great option for expressing thanks and giving gifts. It’s a fun way to combine a lot of small gift items into one larger gift. You can even tie in some of the popcorn puns with a gift like this.

When you put together a popcorn gift basket (or you could even use a popcorn bucket for this), you’ll want to incorporate as many popcorn ideas as you can think of. These could include:
- Popcorn
- Gourmet popcorn
- Popcorn salts or seasonings
- Cute decorated homemade popcorn recipes
- Movie tickets, gift cards, or a movie rental coupon
- A blanket for a movie night in
- Popcorn buckets
- Various candy bars or boxed candy to go with it for a movie night
- Fuzzy socks (to get even cozier for a movie night at home)
- A cute/cool designed water bottle to wash down all the popcorn and help them stay hydrated after teaching all day.
Give Some Gift Cards
If you’re not entirely sure what type of popcorn or treat would be best for your teacher, a gift card might be the right way to go. Many gourmet popcorn companies will have gift cards available. You could still write your teacher a nice card, include a popcorn pun if you wanted to, and give them a gift card to a popcorn company.
This way, you make sure you’re not guessing on anything. When they have a gift card, they can decide exactly what kind of popcorn they would enjoy the most and you aren’t left to your own devices trying to guess or even do some detective work to find out their preferred type of popcorn.
Gift cards are still a great way to show your appreciation, get something nice for your teacher, and let them choose exactly what they would like for themselves. This way, everybody wins!
