Oh! It’s that time again!! Back to school time! The most wonderful, yet stressful time of the year. This is my second year as a school nurse, so I’m starting to really see how much they put into a great experience for our kiddos. I know it’s common to get them gifts at the end of the year, or maybe for their birthday, but have you ever done a Back-to-School gift? Or a just because gift? Trust me, it goes a long way to feel appreciated and thought of! Here I have compiled a list of the best gifts for teachers that you can reference all year long!! (And no, you won’t find any pencils here!)
Comfy Grippy Socks-Not only are these great for home, but I’ve seen many a teacher changes into these types of socks after school while doing things in their classroom. Who doesn’t want their feet to be super comfy and cute?
An Amazon Gift Card– Gift cards rock. Truely. And who doesn’t love Amazon. You can get anything you can imagine…. for school or home. With this gift, your child’s teacher can spoil herself or get something amazing for the classroom.
Chocolate Covered Strawberries– Have you ever received a beautiful box of berries? I know I feel like a queen every time I receive one. Treat your child’s teacher to this indulgent delight.
A really cute phone holder for their desk-It’s out of the way, but not lost and looks adorbs on their desk. I want one of these for my desk!!
A voice amplifier– Have you ever had to give a presentation when you were losing your voice? In front of 20 five-year olds? Help them save their voice, be heard, and keep kids attention with this great little gadget!
A cute set of Stamps– Help them get the message across clearly! A set of stamps for any situation is a great addition to a teacher supplies. Helping cut down on the time they spent organizing and grading papers!!
A really large insulated lunch bag-Teachers bring their lunch almost every day. Let’s help them make that as easy as possible. This large bag will keep their lunch cold and hold almost anything they could think of to pack!!
One year subscription of a teaching magazine– A perfect supplement for the classroom and something the kids can look forward to all year long!!
The Ultimate in Relaxation– After a long day of bending over desks, sitting on the floor, standing at the board, and running around at recess, who doesn’t need a relaxing way to unwind while sitting on your couch?
And, honestly, every teacher I know would love a hand drawn picture or note from your child. Those things mean the most to them. Teachers almost always make “favorites” lists, which you can ask for, but I like to think outside the box. I don’t want my kid’s teacher to get 15 Starbucks cards and 6 mugs every year lol. I know anything you get a teacher is very appreciated, but let’s all try to step up our game this year and make these teachers feel like rockstars! If you teach, what is the best gift you’ve ever received?
