It can be hard to spend the time and energy on a teacher’s Christmas present when you have to wrap your presents for the kiddos under the tree, but today we are here to take some of the difficulty out of the gift buying process. Here are some of our favorite cute and simple ways to thank a teacher this Christmas and put a smile on their faces. 

Baking Supplies

For this gift, all you need is some necessary cooking supplies, a mitt or small baking tin, and a spatula. Make sure that the teacher in question doesn’t have any significant allergies or dietary restrictions!

Here‘s a link to the cute “thanks for making me one smart cookie” oven mitt to wrap everything up in.

A Christmas Ornament

What better way to have a teacher think of your child and smile, then by getting them a creative ornament for their tree. Our favorite is one that has the teacher’s name on it and crayons inside. However, Etsy and other sites have many options of unique and creative ornaments that will fit any teacher’s personality. 

Here‘s a link to the ornament we have listed from Etsy. If you like using crayons but would rather make something yourself (or with your kiddo), Crayola has a post for melted Crayon ornaments.

A Teacher’s Bag

Lugging activities and assignments back and forth to school can make a teacher’s arms and back ache. Give them the gift this Christmas of a teacher’s bag that can help them to cart their supplies to and fro. Add their names on the bag and what grade they teach for an extra special touch. 

Starbucks or a Coffee Gift Card

What teacher doesn’t need a pick me up from caffeine now and then? A great gift is to give them the gift of a gift card to a coffee shop, Starbucks, or Dunkin Donuts and package it by saying, “Thanks a latte for all you do.”

Pens

What is one thing that teachers never have enough of? Pens or pencils. I can’t tell you the number of times my kids have gone to school for two weeks, lost all their pencils somehow, and had to ask the teacher to borrow one of theirs. Replace those this Christmas by creating a cute baggie to hold the pencils and pens with this sweet quote attached, “ you hap-PEN to be an INK-credible teacher.” 

A Plant

A Personalized Teacher Sign

A great personal gift to give to any teacher your child admires is a sign that they can hang in their classroom. This sign can have a quote about shaping young minds or have their name. A personalized sign is a gift that, if you have the extra time to put in the effort, will last for the long run. 

Last-Minute Candy

A Movie or Restaurant Gift Card

Give your child’s teacher the gift of a night out to rest and relax. Get them a gift card to a nicer restaurant in town or the movie theater.
