Bring your favorite classroom teacher something unique from this ultimate teacher gift guide! I created these teacher gift ideas based around self-care because sometimes teachers need a little reminder to take care of themselves. Our teachers work so hard and deserve a great teacher appreciation gift. Here’s my go-to guide for teacher gift ideas for Christmas.
Teacher Gift Ideas For Christmas
Giant Water Jug
This half-gallon water jug is great for any teacher to keep on their desk. This jug is huge, so it makes it easier to drink more water. I also love the fun sleeve that comes with this one! No water rings on your desk from a leaking cup.
Hello Fresh Gift Card
Work days for teachers are long and exhausting. Therefore, a great teacher gift idea for Christmas would be to help plan out their meals! Snag a Hello Fresh gift card and let your teacher pick and choose what to have for dinner that week. The ingredients and instructions are sent straight to your doorstep and it couldn’t be easier!
Teacher Gift Basket Ideas: Desk Snacks
I’ll be the first teacher to tell you that desk snacks are a lifesaver every day. I couldn’t get through the school day without reaching into my desk for an easy snack. An awesome teacher gift idea would be to make a “Desk Snacks” teacher gift basket. Grab this cute basket from Amazon and fill it with easy snacks: nuts, protein bars, beef jerky, granola, fruit, chocolate, etc.
Cute Lunchbox
While we are on the topic of food, another great teacher gift idea is a new lunchbox. Every teacher wants to have the cutest lunchbox in the teacher’s lounge, so snag this adorable one from Amazon. You could even stash it with some snacks!
Amazon Gift Card
Above all, this is probably my most favorite gift I receive from students. I haven’t met a teacher who doesn’t use Amazon Prime at least once a week. So let your teachers buy their own goodies with an Amazon gift card.
Fluffy Slippers
Teachers are on their feet all day. Give them the chance to kick up their feet at the end of the day in these fluffy slippers. They are so cute and comfy. I have gifted these to several friends and they always love them!
Before and After School Cups
We all know that teachers need a pick me up before AND after school. Without a doubt, this mug and glass are the perfect teacher gifts for Christmas! Teachers love their liquid fuel.
At the end of a long school day, there is nothing a teacher wants more than to cuddle up on the couch with a comfy blanket. This Sherpa Blanket from Amazon is so cozy. In other words, it’s the teacher gift that keeps on giving!
Manicure or Pedicure Gift Card
As I mentioned before, some of the best teacher gift ideas for Christmas are gift cards. Stop by your local nail salon and pick up a gift card for a manicure or pedicure. Every teacher could use some pampering!
Essential Oil Diffuser
I had a student give me an essential oil diffuser one year for Christmas and I loved it! Her mom taught me different combinations to use for in the classroom and at home. There were certain oils that helped with keeping students focused and calming them down. This is such a unique teacher gift idea!
