Best Gifts For Teachers That They Actually Want

That’s how many teachers I asked. “What is the best teacher gift you ever received? Or wished that you had received?”

Believe it or not, most teachers would prefer to receive a gift card. While it’s definitely not the most creative teacher gift, it is probably the most practical.

In fact, twenty of the teachers I asked mentioned gift cards. Eight teachers said that they prefer Amazon gifts cards. And six specifically mentioned Starbucks.

And so many teachers just want school supplies for a gift!

School Supplies For Teachers

School supplies, teaching supplies, classroom supplies, office supplies – no matter how they chose to describe it, the teachers that I asked just plain love receiving supplies as gifts!

Forget about stealing supplies from the office to take home. For teachers, it’s just the opposite. They have to purchase supplies to bring to work!

As a parent that has to buy school supplies for you own children every year, you might think that teachers and students have all the supplies they need. However, that’s just not the case. 28% of the teachers that I asked would love to receive supplies as a gift.

Here are some of the items specifically mentioned by the teachers I interviewed for this post:

Brightly colored pens, like these Paper Mate InkJoy Gel Retractable Pens
Post-it notes, like these cute Post-it Extreme Notes in green, yellow, mint, and orange
Copy paper
Colored paper
Tape

A sweet note with classroom supplies (copy paper, colored paper, tape, bright colored pens, etc) are my favorite non gift card gifts. Sad to say- but we usually don’t have the classroom supplies we need so I always appreciate that over a “knickknack” type item!

Best Gift Cards For Teachers

Overwhelmingly, teachers want gift cards!

My own mom really dislikes giving gift cards because it just seems so impersonal.

But if you were brought up the same way I was, you don’t need to worry about buying gift cards for teachers. They will love you for it.

As one teacher told me, they can apply it towards a want or a need.

Here’s a list of the best gift cards for teachers:

Amazon (available online here)
Starbucks (available online here)
Target
Walmart
Restaurant gift cards
Teachers Pay Teachers (available online here)
Office Depot or Staples

Group Gift Ideas For Teachers

A group gift is a great idea if you want to do something special that will create a long-lasting memory for a teacher. And for older students, it’s even something that they can do on their own.

Putting together a photo book or a even just a group photo in a cute frame is something that any teacher would cherish.

Give A Teacher The Gift Of Your Time

Teachers are a busy bunch! Not only do they teach your kids all day, but a lot of teachers have kids of their own. Anything that you can do to help a teacher and save them time is always appreciated.

At my kids’ school, teachers are over the moon when parents volunteer to make copies. Or volunteer for lunch duty so they can get a break.

If you have a skill or talent that you can gift to a teacher, put it to good use! Volunteer to decorate a bulletin board or create printable worksheets that can be used in the classroom.

If you’re a skilled photographer or even an amateur wanting to sharpen your skills, give the gift of your time and shoot individual or family portraits for your favorite teacher. With digital photography, you wouldn’t even need spend a lot of money. Simply gift the digital images and they could print their favorites images.

If you really want to give a physical gift as well, you could always pair the gift of the digital images up with a cute picture frame set like this one.

I had a parent who was a photographer that did family pictures for me.
[/et_pb_testimonial][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.15″ _i=”11″ _address=”0.0.0.11″]If you enjoy DIY projects, you could also put together a darling set yourself, just by picking the frames up at garage sales or estate sales or thrift shops and painting them in your child’s teacher’s favorite colors.

Another super cool idea would be to come photograph the teacher, in her classroom and with her students, and to put together a memory book for her.

The teachers at my kids’ elementary school put together these elaborate end-of-year slideshows for the parents with music and hundreds of pictures featuring our kids and for the most part, they aren’t even in the slide show themselves because they took all the pictures.

And they somehow manage to remember to take all these pictures while teaching our kids, being responsible for them, answering hundreds of questions, making sure they get food, bio breaks and exercise, while at the same time making sure they don’t get hurt and are returned to us safely and a little bit smarter at the end of every school day.

I get tired just thinking about it!

They do this day in and day out, for seven hours every day.

The other day my son told me that his English teacher is strict. This same teacher told me that she has 27 kids in his particular class and 17 of them are boys! I sometimes can’t even keep up with my three, much less a classroom full. I am continually amazed by teachers.

I think they deserve a memory book with pictures they are in. Or at least take some pictures of them for the slide show. Am I right?

Food Gifts for Teachers (And How To Do THEM The Right Way)

If you’re a working mom, you know how precious every waking moment is. And while you can’t literally give a teacher more time in their day, you can give a gift that frees up valuable time to do something other than cook dinner. Give a teacher a restaurant gift card and she can treat herself or her family to dinner out after a long day teaching your kid. Bonus: she won’t have to wash dishes either.

Grab a plastic tub or storage box and fill it up with all those little things that a teacher might need during the course of the school day but not have on hand. Fill the tub with extra things to have on hand for the classroom, like:

Tissues
Hand sanitizer
Paper towels
Baby wipes
Disinfecting wipes
Band-aids
Push pins
Extra school supplies

I’m sure that teachers can never have enough extra pencils and dry erase markers. When you’re doing your own back-to school shopping for your kids, look for the deeply discounted items like markers, colored pencils and so forth and throw those in the tub too. Want to take this gift up a notch? Fill a smaller (and cuter!) storage container with items especially for the teacher, like:

Gum
Chapstick
Safety pins
Cough drops
A lint roller
Tylenol
Extra gloves

Plus all those other little things that your child’s teacher will inevitably need at some point during the school year. The dollar spot at Target or Dollar Tree can be a great place to stock up on some of these essentials without breaking the bank.

It’s easy to say teachers deserve higher pay, but that’s easier said than done. While that may be totally true, what I think is that teachers deserve to be pampered. Who doesn’t like to be pampered? I know I do! And you can bet that teachers do too. If you can afford it, a spa gift certificate or a gift certificate for a mani/pedi, facial or massage is a no brainer kind of gift. After being on their feet all day, every day, teaching and loving on our kids, I can’t think of anyone that deserves a little pampering more than a teacher.

If you’re looking for gifts for fine arts teachers (or “specials”, as they’re called at my kids’ school), it may be that you can find inspiration in the subject being taught.

A metronome for your piano teacher
A pitch pipe for your choir teacher
A new whistle and lanyard for your P.E. teacher or coach
Paint brushes and paint your art teacher

If you know that the teacher’s personal interests and hobbies are the similar to what they teach, you could take the same idea but make it a bit more personal. Does your child’s choir teacher also compose music? Perhaps she would appreciate blank sheet music paper or a songwriting journal . Side note: unbeknownst to me at the time, my junior high choir teacher, Emily Crocker , was actually a composer on the side. I never would have thought to give her music paper, but in hindsight, that would have been a perfect teacher gift for her.

While you’re at it, don’t forget these teachers and educators!

P.E. teacher or coach
Music teacher
Art teacher
Principals
Sunday school teacher

Best Gifts For Teachers That Keep On Giving

Do you subscribe to any subscription boxes like GlossyBox or Stitch Fix? A subscription box is a great idea for a teacher gift. Not only that, if you ordered one at the beginning of the year, you would be covered for a beginning of the year teacher gift, a Christmas gift and an end school year gift and every month in between.

If you want to give your kid’s teacher a gift for the classroom, The Teacher’s Crate is an awesome teacher and classroom oriented subscription box.

Want to pamper your favorite teacher? Pampered Teacher offers a subscription box curated by teachers, for teachers.

They offer monthly subscriptions and one-time boxes. They also offer a one-time lite version of this box with four to five carefully chosen items including fashion, personal care, classroom and snack items.

Coffee Gifts for Teachers

17% of the teachers I interviewed specifically mentioned Starbucks gift cards. Is it any wonder? At about $5 a pop, Starbucks is one of those guilty pleasures that we all love, but feel guilty about spending money on.

I personally go back and forth between stopping for a daily skinny vanilla latte on my way to work and limiting them to once a week or less, simply due to how crazy expensive they are! My sister gave me a $25 Starbucks gift card for Christmas once and I know I appreciated it every time the barista put a free latte in my hand!

Here are some reasons that Starbucks gift cards are awesome gifts for teachers:

It’s a personal gift, rather than a classroom or household gift.
Coffee won’t clutter up your kid’s teacher’s classroom or house.
Coffee is consumed/used up.

If you’re not stopping by Starbucks to grab your own coffee, you can get Starbucks gift cards on Amazon . And some options are even Prime eligible.

The subject of coffee mugs deserves an entire section of its own in this post…

I feel 99.9% certain that teachers probably get a dozen coffee mugs per year. Even though we should all realize by now what a lame gift that really is. I’m also pretty sure they don’t want another one, no matter how cute it is.

And just think about it…

When was the last time that you went out and bought a dozen mismatched coffee mugs? Must less went out and bought twelve more a year later.

For me, the answer is “never.” I’m sure your kid’s teacher doesn’t need a dozen mismatched coffee mugs either.

Unless, of course, your kid’s teacher is trying to break the world’s record for the largest collection of mugs.

If you feel like you just have to give a coffee mug, consider a travel mug (make sure it’s the type that fits in a car cup holder) or a refillable Starbucks coffee cup or insulated tumbler instead. Several teachers I talked to do like those.

Have your heart set on giving a coffee mug? Well, if you must…

These cute sets include a coffee mug for “before school” and a matching wine glass for “after school.”
