Teachers are the unsung heroes of society, the people who guide our children to become responsible and kind adults who understand their privileges and will use them for good. However, teachers tend to be overlooked, especially at Christmas time and at the end of the school year. Have fun choosing a present or two!
Gift Cards
Gift Cards are the gift of choice for teachers this holiday season. They have the advantage of being universal, and they can use them in any store, including online shopping! Teachers can use them to purchase additional classroom supplies, computer resources, gift cards, etc. It is an excellent alternative to gifts like candy or school supplies since they give these as one-time-only gifts that break quickly on the teachers’ desks by students who come back every few weeks for more. Gift cards are also a more personal gift and will make the teacher feel valued and respected.
YETI Tumblers Personalized With Their Names
YETI tumblers are the hottest gift for teachers this year! These 16oz double-walled insulated mugs can keep hot drinks warm for hours and cold drinks cold for days. They are made of 18/8 stainless steel and will become a family heirloom. These personalized tumblers make great gifts for teachers who choose to drink coffee and tea. They also make great gifts for teachers who drink alcohol or non-caffeine beverages.
Leather Journal
A leather journal is a teacher’s best friend! It’s a great alternative to the YETI Tumbler and will last for years as the teacher writes down their thoughts, lesson plans, notes from parents, favorite quotes, etc. It’s widespread for teachers to be given journals as gifts, but I suggest getting one with their name or initials. This way, the teacher will always know who the journal belongs to, making it much easier if they ever lose it.
Creative Framed Art Print
Teachers like to decorate their classrooms. It’s a way for them to make the environment feel more personal and encourage creativity. I recommend getting a creative framed art print that they can hang in their workspace or classroom. I love this idea because it’s a creative gift that will also improve their office space or classroom!
Personalized Ornament
It is an excellent idea for teachers who want to make a memory of their students. The teacher will be able to hang the ornament in their house while looking at the name of a student they taught long ago. Several great companies provide personalized ornaments. You can find one made of wood or plastic and come in a variety of styles.
Photo Albums
Nothing makes a teacher’s heart feel more nostalgic than bringing back memories of their former students. For these teachers, I recommend getting photo albums. It’s another great gift idea because it allows teachers to look back into the past when they remember their students and won’t soon forget them due to the passage of time! It can also be a very sentimental gift for teachers who want to save photos of loved ones and not have anyone else see them.
All these gifts are great ideas for teachers to receive this holiday season. It will give them a reason to feel appreciated and loved, especially on the most stressful day! The gifts can be personalized and can include their names or pictures. These gestures will give the teacher a renewed sense of motivation and appreciation that they need to continue teaching our children the proper lessons.
