Personalized gifts are always appreciated. They add a nice touch, but some may require additional time.
1) Cups – teachers drink coffee and tea just like the rest of us, and they probably go through cups quickly.
2) Water bottles – with all of the talking teachers do, they definitely need some water during the day!
3) Tote bags – for carrying all of the papers and supplies around.
Learns how to make customized cups here (same steps apply for water bottles).
I’m always stumped on what to get my kids teachers and what they really want! Thank you so much for posting this and giving me some great ideas.
Thanks! Hopefully this will make the shopping season easier!
I am a teacher… Awesome post ❤️
Thanks! Teachers do so much for us! The least we could do is show them we appreciate it!
These are so great gift ideas. I have a bunch of teacher friends and while they appreciate the thought behind the ‘worlds best teacher’ mugs, they only have use for 1 or 2. Gift cards to the dollar store etc, are really appreciated because they often spend out of pocket for several projects and lessons.
Teachers my kids have are great! And they do so much wonderful for the kids! They deserve something nice, and I agree, you only need so many cups!
great ideas
Thanks!
I love to buy gift cards as gifts for these people in my life as I know most everyone will find a use for them, even if it’s re-gifting!
I think with today’s day and age, gift cards really are the best as they can be used for something the person wants.
Oh no! I am absolutely that parent that gifts teachers classroom supplies that they’ve been asking for! I didn’t realize what a bad idea that was! 🙁 Thank you for enlightening me. **unwraps all the expo markers**
If you have already done it, it’s better than nothing! I’m sure they appreciate it nonetheless! I (try) to gift supplies at the beginning of the year and after Xmas break.
Great ideas!
Thanks!
These are all great ideas for gifts for teachers and daycare workers. A gift card is always great or a personalized gift made by your kids would be my next choice too.
I’m all about gift cards, and the funny thing is, it didn’t even occur to me when my kids first started day care and school. I though I needed to buy something and I could never figure out what.
You are right! We’ve all experienced this year what is like to spend hours on end home-schooling. The teachers are so deserving, and you’ve put together some nice ideas!
Thanks so much!
