As Christmas draws near, I’ve got gifts for teachers on the brain. If you’ve read this post from last June, you already know that I am notorious for forgetting to pre-plan teacher gifts and end up scrambling the night before. I promised myself that this year I would get on the ball, so I am starting now! I’ve got one week of school left before my daughter is out for Christmas, so I am really ahead of the game compared to last year.
My daughter has two Preschool teachers and one teacher’s aide, so I have to come up with gifts for three people that won’t break the bank.
Luckily, there are so many great DIY options from crafty bloggers who think of everything; many of them are even kind enough to offer free printables to make it even easier for the rest of us. But even if you don’t feel like making something (or don’t consider yourself crafty), there are a few things you can buy for under $25 that teachers will love.
Here are some of my favorite gifts for teachers this Christmas:
1. Mini notebooks in every color (to use for to do lists, curriculum ideas, etc.)
2. Cookies in a jar with printable tag from itsoverflowing.com
3. Golden Apple notecards, $24 from sugarpaper.com
4. Paperclip dome, $16 from Anthropologie
5. Spa goodies and a “For Your Mistle Toes” baggie topper from Pinterest.com
6. A Teacher’s Prayer print, $20 for a 5×7″ from Minted.com
7. “What I like about my classroom…” printable (just print it and frame it!) from eighteen25.blogspot.com
8. “Days until summer” clipboard from eighteen25.blogspot.com
