As a former teacher (I taught preschool, third grade and high school!), these are the gifts I know your child’s teacher will appreciate! When in doubt, gift cards are always a hit. If you are looking to be a bit more personal, a gift card to a local restaurant would be cute or if you know the teacher’s hobbies you can stick with that theme. For example, cooking utensils or a cookie mix for the baking lover.

Candle – These cutie candles come in a set of 3. You can gift the whole set OR divide and conquer. Take one candle and wrap in a pretty cellophane and ribbon.

Yeti Tumbler – I use my tumbler everyday. Whether it’s for iced or hot coffee, teachers need all the energy they can get!

Gift Card (Amazon, Target, Starbucks) – When in doubt, gift cards are always a safe bet.

Monogrammed Mug – These are classics. Everyone needs one in their cabinet.

Tea – Pair the mug or Yeti with this can of tea. Ralph’s is one of my favorite coffee shops and this green color is perfect for the holiday season.

Planter – This cute little planter would be the perfect addition to a live plant.

Hand Lotion – Jo Malone is one of my favorite brands. The scents are so good and the packaging is simple and clean!

Scarf – The tartan plaid is adorable and warm for the winter.

Holiday Soap – I love that this soap or lotion is already wrapped and ready to go! It’s super cute too.

Boat and Tote Bag (can be personalized) – Teachers are always carrying papers and this bag would be super helpful. I have one for each of the boys and they are classic and durable.

Champagne Bears – Gummy bears. Because they’re cute and delicious.
