Want to get something you know a teacher will love? While I truly appreciate any and every gift, I’m swimming in coffee mugs. After some lounge conversations I’ve come up with a list of favorites.
- Ornaments. My favorite box to pull out of the top of the closet is the ornaments. I love reading the names and reminiscing about past classes as I decorate the tree each year. Homemade is wonderful and could easily turn into a family project. However, I typically use up all my craftiness at school, so my kids get to pick out an ornament of their choice on a random shopping trip that will be signed, dated, and delivered.
- Gift cards. Amazon, Target, TeachersPayTeachers.com, Starbucks, Office Depot, etc will put a smile on any teacher’s face!
- Post-its and pens. Seriously, I don’t know a single teacher that isn’t obsessed with office supplies.
- Snacks. Some days just require chocolate.
- Anything personalized. I honestly have no idea what the obsession is, but we love to have our name or initials on everything. Next time you’re at the school check out the bags, tumbler’s, mouse pads, wall decor, pens, etc…
- A book. Grab a copy of your child’s favorite book and write a sweet note to the teacher in it. We’re always looking to expand our libraries.
Oreos and anything purple. Well, maybe that’s just me. Whatever you chose will be loved and greatly appreciated. Merry Christmas!
