Need some cute Christmas gifts for teachers? Why not get her something she’ll actually use this year? Here’s a list of gift ideas for teachers…you’re sure to find the perfect thing on this list!
With my oldest daughter a high school graduate (still tears!) and my youngest entering the 11th grade this fall, I don’t really have to provide Christmas gifts for teachers anymore.
But, since I know lots of you still have little ones at home…
And…well…I SELL teacher stationery…
I thought I’d help you out by sharing some gift ideas for your favorite teachers. And I have lots of ideas here…things they’ll actually use instead of just setting it aside to collect dust.
Like that apple paperweight you gave her last year…
Just kidding…
Maybe!
All joking aside though, it’s always nice to give a gift to that one person who spends more time with your kids than you do…their teacher.
So, make it a nice gift. He or she deserves it. Really.
And if your kid is a little rowdy…follow along with my bonus gift ideas as we read through the list. Maybe that particular teacher deserves a little something extra.
Let’s get started…

Funny Coffee Mugs
Teachers drink a lot of coffee. They NEED it! So, why not give them something to smile about every time they reach for their cup?
There are TONS of funny coffee mugs on Amazon and if you don’t find anything you like there, there are a million more on Etsy!
BONUS GIFT IDEA: Add a bag of The World’s Strongest Coffee and some Salted Caramel Biscotti to make this coffee mug the best gift your favorite teacher receives!
Personalized Note Cards
There isn’t a day that goes by that a teacher doesn’t have to send home a note, with at least one child in her classroom.
So, why not help her make it more fun with some adorable personalized note cards?!
Choose from over 20 designs at VLHamlinDesign – starting at just $7.50!
Sticky Notes
Your favorite teacher jots down hundreds of tiny notes a day! Help her keep track of them all with some super cute sticky notes!
Cute Tote Bags
Teachers carry A LOT of stuff back and forth between their homes and classrooms.
Whether it’s lesson plan books, homework that needs grading, project examples or her own lunch, it’s a big load to carry by hand everyday.
Why not give your favorite teacher a cute tote bag to make all that carrying a little easier?
Amazon has dozens of really cute tote bags for teachers and if you can’t find anything you like there…Etsy has a whole bunch, too!
Custom Notepads
And last, but certainly not least…custom notepads. Do you have any idea how many notepads a teacher uses in a single school year?
Neither do I, but I’ll bet it’s a whole lot!
Teachers use notepad paper to jot down to do lists, notes that won’t fit on smaller sticky paper, letters to parents, passes for students, a quick note to another teacher or staff member and so much more!
That’s likely why they are one of the most popular gifts for teachers every holiday season!
So, why not help your favorite teacher out and buy her a personalized notepad so she can keep track of everything?
Choose from 15 different designs at VLHamlinDesign!
