Gift ideas for Teachers! A Teacher's Pet Guide to Gift Giving: Say 'Thank You' with Amazon Goodies and other links!
Not only do I have four kids-- But Being in retail I meet a LOT of people! Amongst that crowd are teachers. I have learned the best teacher appreciation gifts are from the heart, and generally fall into one of two types of gifts: something that can be used in their classroom to enhance the experience of your teacher or something that expresses gratitude for how amazing they are with your child. I always struggle with how much to spend- But I have several different ideas here for under $50!

1) A Coffee Tumbler with a lid--- Filled with little goodies! If you have it in your budget, the Stanley is nice. If you are still looking for a handled tumbler that looks like Stanley, I would highly recommend this handled tumbler. It is cheaper, and still really cute with this idea I am about to Show ya.
.
You can stuff a little Christmas wrapping paper at the bottom of the cup, and put things like a Starbucks gift card, Chapstick (A personal recommendation photo below), Those little packets of skincare (You can grab this pack and use it in other gifts too!, Stanley or Handled tumbler charms, The biggest craze this year is the spray hand sanitizer! Of course, there are only so many coffee mugs someone can receive for Christmas!, but this is a trendy and popular gift a lot of my teacher friends thought was great!
2) A RECHARGEABLE HANDWARMER- One friend mention that gloves and hats are nice as they still have recess outside when it is cold! Me being extra, I thought THIS was a cool idea and she agreed she would live to receive it. They are little hand warmer Avocados!!!
3) An Oil Diffuser is ever trending, and so popular amongst teachers AND students who want to have some great scents in the room but no open flame! A kindergarten teacher friend of mine says this would be so perfect for her, and she probably needs one, but wouldn't buy it for herself when she needs other stuff first for her classroom! To me that equals the perfect gift! Don't forget an essential oil starter pack! . I would just package this up in a gift bag and call it a day! The perfect teachers Christmas gift on a budget! Bonus-- I think this Disco Ball one is SO CUTE if it fits your budget!
4) So, If you have seen me at any of my craft shows (OX roast LOL) I pull a large speaker and microphone with me for fun. I think a WIRELESS microphone would be so much fun for teachers to have a little karaoke day with the kids, or maybe have them read books through one. This is also a perfect gift for kids. Mine LOVE ours and we recently used it to help our daughter practice her pageant speech!
this is the exact one we have!
Or, This Sirfy Karaoke Machine
5) So, teachers do not make a lot. Especially educators in their first years. If you want to do gift cards, I would definitely look into using Ibotta. You can do that by clicking here, My referral code is GSKPFCL. You can get up to 10-12 percent cash back on certain gift cards! I also use this for grocery shopping-- You can flip those rebates into gift cards! As you can see here I am in the $1000 club!!!
6) I noticed at open house that my daughters teacher had a microwave in her class room, However, a LOT can be done with an Electric Kettle. My idea for this would be a basket with this kettle, Tea bags, Oatmeal, and Hot Chocolate. An extra additive if your budget allows is this assorted flavor cocoa bomb set!
7) My biggest tip on teacher gift buying-- Most of them send home an "about me"- Look at that! See what he or she loves and make a gift basket out of a functional basket for them! This set of three is perfect if you have more than one gift basket to make (Don't forget the aides!)
8) Not real great at putting together gifts but you want to get something useful? Snag the Burt's Bees Hand repair kits!
9) These days we are all on a budget, and if you have lots of teachers to appreciate-- Consider one of these MULTIPACKS!
10) A Simmer pot! You can view several here, but if you just LOVE this cute unicorn one, you can click here to check that out!
11) Another teacher told me small bags like a BELT bag is perfect for recess!
12) FUNNY stuff like this "don't make me use my teacher voice" tumbler!at 22 ounces, it is perfect for the morning to mid morning coffee. It is insulated for hot or cold beverages, and it LEAK PROOF!
13) Emotional Support Pickle- One of my vendors have these at the store, and the sell like WILD FIRE! You can find a single pickle in the shop or here
14) This Teacher Planner (Click here for the details!)
15) This tumbler is SO cute and insulated! Also a really cute message. It can be a birthday present, an appreciation gift, teachers' week gift, a back-to-school gift, or even a Christmas Gift for her! (Click here for more details)
THIS is to be continued but this is a start to all of my gift guide ideas!
