NOT Another Coffee Mug: Actually Approved Teacher Gifts
The end of the year is upon us! Whether you are a teacher buying a gift for another teacher, a parent looking for a gift for your child’s teacher, a mentor teacher buying a student teacher a gift, or anything in between… No matter what your budget looks like, below is a guide for some thoughtful teacher gifts for the end of the school year.
Bath & Body Works
Who doesn’t love a little self-care? Treat your favorite teacher to some hand soaps, hand sanitizers, room sprays, candles or lotions from Bath and Body Works. One of the best parts about Bath & Body Works is that teachers can exchange scents they might not love for their favorite scents for FREE.
Pens
All pens are NOT created equally. However, teachers are also using and losing their favorite pens. This simple gift can help teachers save a pretty penny and make them smile!
The top teacher pens are:
Gift Cards
While some people are adamantly against gift cards, there is nothing better than letting a teacher pick out their own favorite self-care items. Jazz it up by sticking it to a bottle of Bath & Body Hand Soap, and you won’t feel like you are “just giving a gift card”.
Some of the best gift cards for teachers include:
- Amazon
- Target
- Teachers Pay Teachers
- Starbucks, Dunkin or Local Coffee Shops
- Door Dash (so teachers can have a hot lunch too!)
House Plants
Help teachers spruce up their classroom or home with a simple house plant. This can be small or large, but is a great way to bring a smile to everyone’s face. Make sure what you are buying is not a complicated plant, but rather something simple to care for like a succulent.
Coffee Warmer
Teachers are NOTORIOUS for setting down their hot cup of coffee in the morning, and forgetting about it by lunch time. Help them keep their coffee warm by giving them a coffee warmer plate for their kitchen or classroom desk.
Mini Keurig
Looking to pool some money together for a larger class gift? Grab a mini-keurig for teachers to make coffee for one throughout their school day. Bundle this together with some of the teacher’s favorite k-cups for an amazing treat.
Wireless Phone Charger
Teachers use their phones ALL DAY to send pictures to parents, answer emails, play music, set timers and more. Help them keep their phone conveniently charged with a wireless phone charger.
Final Thoughts
While teacher gifts are certainly not expected or necessary, thanking a teacher for any reason absolutely goes a long way.
