HI friends!
A fun fact about me……. before I became a full time stay at home mom I was a school teacher. I decided I wanted to teach while substituting during my college days. I had no clue it was what I wanted to be, but I loved the kids, my co-workers and making a difference in little one’s lives.
I taught 4th grade for a total of 6 years and loved it! Being a teacher is a tough yet rewarding career! We love to spoil our teachers and let them know how much they are appreciated. If you are looking for a fun gift for your special teacher this post is for you!
I reached out to 10 of my old co-workers/friends from my teaching days and a few preschool teachers and asked what their favorite holiday gift would be? It was a lot of fun gathering different ideas and opinions from sweet teacher friends.

Papermate Flair Pen set $30- This gift set was sent directly to me from a teacher friend, saying it was all the rave with teachers! So, I added it in on the gift guide ASAP! Click here to get yours.
After talking with teachers, they also love homemade cards and notes, so don’t feel like you have to spend a fortune to show teachers they are loved! Gift cards are always an easy option to their favorite restaurant or store. I know my son’s school sends out a favorites sheet from each teacher to help give us ideas and help with gift giving!
Another great idea is buying something small they could use in their classroom, like the Sharpies in this guide and attach a small gift card if you wanted to add something more. Or their favorite chocolates or Starbucks drink with a small gift card attached.
What’s your favorite teacher gift? This year I am getting my elementary teachers the stamp pad set with a small gift card attached. For my son’s preschool class, I did the sharpie’s at the beginning of the year, so I am getting them the initial stud earrings for both of them. My sons also enjoy making them a holiday card every year too!
