Holiday Gift Ideas for Teachers
A personal laminator and pouches: These are fast and easy to use, and every teacher loves them. Does he/she already have one? Buy some laminator pouch refills, which are always a necessity.
There are tons of uses for the favorite paper of teachers – Astrobrights: crafts, projects, classroom labels, printables, bulletin boards, and more.
Check to see if your teacher owns a Silhouette machine. If so, buy some new or replacement accessories to go with it, such as a cutting mat or new blade or vinyl.
A personal paper trimmer means less time spent in the teacher’s lounge and the ability to work in the comfort of his/her own home to prepare projects and lessons for the next day. This one from Swingline is my favorite!
A stylish and fab tote bag such as this Better Life bag made well enough to carry all her belongings to and from the classroom. Find out your teacher’s favorite pattern and design a one of a kind bag for them!
Anything personalized! Teachers love it, such as this customized door sign.
Stocking Stuffers and Smaller Holiday Gifts for Teachers
Flair felt tip pens are great for grading papers with bright and cheerful colors.
Give him/her something useful to organize all those papers, like in this multi-color cart.
Find out what kind of printer he/she has at home and refill its ink stash. If they use instant ink, find out how you can add to their membership.
Your child’s teacher is most likely a shopper at Teachers Pay Teachers, using his/her own money to buy fun educational printables and activities for your child. Help him/her with a gift card.
Think these Mr. Sketch markers are just for the kids? Oh no, your teacher friend will love them too! Perfect for making those anchor charts stand out!
There are never enough post-it notes when you need them! Teachers use these for everything.
Teachers love Sharpies, markers that don’t run and write on a multitude of surfaces. They come in fun, bright colors too!
These markers usually are worn out and need replacing by this time of year. You can provide some new Expo dry erase markers, in colors your child’s teacher probably doesn’t have from the supply room.
A bag of chocolate is perfect for any occasion or for that secret desk stash. This bag of Hersey nuggets look yummy!
Teachers are selfless and know that the best gifts are those that come from the heart. Homemade gifts and cards are always a favorite. You can never go wrong there because it’s the thoughtfulness in your giving that matters the most.
Just knowing they are appreciated can brighten their holidays and rejuvenate them for the second semester! So let them know what they mean to you, in whatever way you can.
