    Gift Ideas for Teachers

    Each year, I find myself trying to think of gift ideas for my son’s teachers for Christmas, and even other holiday’s throughout the year.

    It’s not that I forget to add them to my Christmas gift tracker, but rather I just don’t know what his/her “likes” are, or what they may need.

    While giving should be about the “thought that counts”, I still want to give gifts that he/she can actually use or that they’ll actually like. You with me?

    BEST Gift Ideas for Teachers

    So what better way to find out what teachers ACTUALLY want, than to just ask them!

    On the Fantabulosity Facebook page, I polled teachers and asked them to share the BEST gifts they’ve ever received and any other advice they wanted to give!

    After this incredible list of the BEST gift ideas, you’ll also find tips for gifting to teachers and even some VALUABLE feedback from real teachers, sharing what they DON’T want and some important things to remember, whether it’s for:

    • A male or female
    • School or Daycare
    • Christmas
    • Valentine’s Day
    • Appreciation/Thank you
    • First Day of School
    • or just because!

    Now let’s get to the gift ideas!

    Gifts for Teachers

    • Coffee throughout the year – find out her favorite coffee and sprinkle coffee deliveries throughout the year!
    • Alcohol (You wouldn’t believe how many raised their hand for this! Just don’t send it to school WITH your children.) Wine, beer, cocktail mixes, martini set, etc.!
      This Sangria Kit is one of my favorites!
    • Gift Cards for Amazon, coffee shop, local restaurant for lunches, massage/spa, or to Walmart/Target for school supplies!
    • Heartfelt note about how she/he has impacted your child’s life.
    • Books for the classroom
    • Have the kids in the classroom make a scrapbook with pictures of themselves and leave little notes about why they loved being in his/her class.
    • Tote bag – to carry school items, back and forth from home.
    • A movie night gift box – Filled with items like a Redbox gift card with a box of brownie mix, microwave popcorn, drinks, and a blanket. This can be used with his/her whole family.
    • Pens/notebooks
    • Sunshine Gift Basket
    • Teacher Survival Kit
    • Spa Gift Basket
    • Gift basket of candies/snacks

    Advice from Teachers on Gift Giving:

    While asking teachers what their favorite gifts from students were, I had a few teachers get real and honest about things and I thought it would be helpful to share those here too!

    • No homemade crafts – Teachers, especially elementary teachers have pictures drawn for them all of the time, and run out of room quickly! Although some do love homemade crafts, maybe steer from them unless you know for sure!
    • Trinkets get overwhelming – You know what these are. “The best teacher” signs and “#1 teacher pencil organizers”. Although so sweet, maybe opt for a gift card so they can buy their own trinkets!
    • Don’t forget special education teachers, office staff, custodial, lunchroom crew, etc.
      Gifts always seem to go to the homeroom teachers but the other teachers can play a big role in your child’s life. If they do… maybe a small gesture or gift would make their day!
