With the Christmas season fast approaching, many parents out there are starting to think about teacher Christmas presents. It can be hard to spend the energy on extra gift ideas when you have all the family presents, dinners, activities, etc to worry about around this time of year. Today we are here to take some of the difficulty out of the gift buying process. Here are some of our favorite teacher Christmas presents to thank a teacher this Christmas and put a smile on their faces.

Teacher Christmas Presents

Baking Supplies

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 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 Amazon. 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. That’s why one of the best teacher appreciation gifts is a nice teacher’s bag that can help them to cart their supplies to and from. Add their names on the bag and what grade they teach for an extra special touch. You can also go above and beyond by filling the bag with little gifts like candles, jewelry, stationery, dry-erase markers, cookies, and other goodies.

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.”

Teacher Survival Kit

What is one thing that teachers never have enough of? School supplies and small toiletries like wipes, hand sanitizer, etc. I can’t tell you the number of times my kids have gone to school for two weeks, lost all their pens and pencils somehow, and had to ask the teacher to borrow one of theirs. Replace those and other classroom essentials this Christmas by creating a cute baggie to hold them.

A Plant

Want to spruce up a teacher’s desk or home? Gift them a plant this Christmas. This pot below is our favorite, and it has a witty quote attached, “Thanks for helping me grow.”

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

Version 1.0.0

And if you are scrambling to find a last-minute gift, you can always give the gift of food. Don’t be afraid to show your teacher appreciation with candy, chocolate covered pretzels, or Christmas popcorn. Buy a jar and some ribbon and the treat for inside, and the gift is complete.

A Movie or Restaurant Gift Card

The best gift cards for your child’s teacher will allow them a night out to rest and relax. Get them a gift card to a nicer restaurant in town, the movie theater, the nail salon, Barne’s & Noble, or Michael’s. You never know the financial spot your child’s teacher is in, and this gift might allow them to indulge in an evening they wouldn’t usually be able to afford.
