Gift Guide 2023: The Best Gifts for Teachers
Every year, teachers may be my most requested gift guide. As parents, I know we always are so thank them, but it can be hard to find gifts that convey that appreciation without defaulting to another mug. I did a little research and I believe these are teacher gifts Actually want to get accepted this year.
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 | 21 | 22 | 23 | 24
I designed this gift guide to allow items to stand alone OR be gifted! If your class is making a group gift, choose a few items and display in a basket! Or, gift any of these items to make your teacher’s Holiday season extra special.
1: Classroom Supplies
Classroom supplies are a no brainer and I feel like these dry erase markers run out of ink fast!
2: Peel & Stick Wallpaper
Teachers love to customize their spaces, but often have to be careful not to break the foundation of the classroom. My peel & stick wallpaper is perfect for making spaces more homey, but also easy to remove if I need to!
3: Laminator Machine
This laminator looks great and is under $40! Definitely a handy tool in the classroom.
4: Tide To-Go Stain Remover
Tide To-Go is a life saver, especially if the teacher you’re shopping for teaches younger kids (although older kids stain things too!) they’ll definitely appreciate it.
5: Personal Fan
They had these fans on the set of the QVC+ Wrapping Competition, and they were great! If your teacher works in a building without AC, or watches recess on a hot day, these will definitely come in handy!
6: Big Scarf
In the same respect, but in the winter months, a cozy scarf to bundle up is always a must.
7: Mug warmer
I know teachers often have very long mornings, and no shortage of mugs, so I thought, what’s better than a mug? A mug warmer! This portable hot plate is the perfect classroom companion and can heat up your coffee that could otherwise be cold.
8: Comfortable slippers
These slippers look SO comfortable, and Aerie always dominates in the comfort department. I love the design of these, but they have so many options!
9: Cable Knit Quarter Zip
If you’re close enough to the teacher you’re shopping for to know what size top she’s wearing, this quarter zip is a must-have this Winter. I love it because it’s comfortable like a hoodie, but the cable knit design really elevates it. Pair it with some booties and pants it’s the perfect outfit for a lazy day at work!
10: Keychain
This keychain popped up in my browsing because it was currently on a huge sale, so I figured why not! Everyone’s keys tend to weather too quickly, so a refresh is always nice.
11: Anthropologie socks
Need I say more? Cozy socks, especially in Winter, are always appreciated.
12: Outlet Concealing Power Strip
This power strip is one of my favorite finds on Amazon! It makes organizing cords on your desk a breeze!
13: Leak Proof Brumate
This is the water bottle I have now and I love it! The straw has a leak proof mechanism and my drink is always cold!
14: Live Plants
After chatting with a few teachers, plants sound like a welcome addition to many classrooms or homes! Obviously, make sure you know who you’re shopping for. If the teacher in your life is more of a fake person, I have a bunch of favorites linked here on my home office tour.
15: Blue Light Glasses
Blue light glasses really make such a difference and this brand has a lot of cool frame options!
16: Keychain Lanyard
This FP Movement lanyard is a great find! Super affordable and cute!
17: Plaid Throw Blanket
It’s from the August drop of my line and it’s on sale right now for $35! Very warm and comfortable!
18: Practical Makeup/Skincare Bag
This makeup bag slides in and out to allow you to see all of your products when preparing without making a mess. The interior is lined to be waterproof, so it is not necessary for only get along If the teacher in your life carries any hair/skin care products, this would be perfect for that too!
19,20: Gift Cards
While I usually steer clear of gift cards, teachers are no exception. Especially with how much they need to fund their own work spaces with their money, Amazon gift cards can go a long way!
21: Trendy Carry
A catch all bag for various knick knacks that need to be shuttled back and forth between home and classroom is always appreciated! I love H&M’s tote selection, if what I linked isn’t your vibe, check out some others!
22: Card Holder
Card holders are great, and I have a feeling that between school IDs and other work-specific cards, teachers will want one just for work! Maybe throw a Starbucks gift card there if you are looking to lift it!
23 + 24: Book Lover Gift Set
These gifts would be the perfect addition to a book lover gift basket! Maybe add a gift card at Barnes & Noble or a local bookstore! And, I know many teachers have personal classroom libraries! Getting a personalized stamp is a thoughtful gift they’ll use for years to come!
I hope I made the teachers proud on this one! Be sure to check out my other holiday gift guides, and have a Happy Holiday ❤️
