Whether your child is in school, goes to daycare, or takes extracurricular classes elsewhere, chances are you’re buying for a teacher during the holidays. Here is a round-up of some of my favorite teacher gifts, many of which I used to receive when I was teaching that I still love today.
And the number one suggestion: try and avoid mugs or cups- they get a lot of these!

Gift cards. Your teacher likely spends a lot of their own money for their classroom, and this is a great way to close the gap.
BruMate Hopsulator. This 3-in-1 insulator is a handy little guy.
Ornament. I loved hanging ornaments from students past on my tree every year, and Hallmark makes some to really make your teacher’s heart swoon.
Movie Theatre package. Get a couple movie theatre gift cards and put them in this neat little box for a date night or outing with their family.
Neat and Navy Blue floral diffuser. This neat little diffuser is so pretty and smells really, really good.
Paper Mate pens. These have been some of my favorite pens for years. Add them to their gift!
Personalized notepad. They’ll probably use it, ha!
Godiva coffee. Godiva chocolate + coffee? Yes, please.
Braided Snake Plant. This snake plant from Katie Casey Designs would be a great way to add some green but not be too high maintenance.
I hope this helps, and let me know if there are any others that have made your favorites list!
