Christmas got away from me last year. I struggled to stay on top of my to-do this and hence, my blog suffered a bit.
I had a TON of Christmas blogs I wanted to post and never got around to. But, since we’re less than 100 days til Christmas, I’m going to start catching up now! I’m starting with this post full of Christmas gifts for teachers and I’ll also soon be updating my Ultimate List of Teacher Gift Ideas post with all the ideas for ALL the holidays so be sure to pin that!
That said, though, spreading Christmas cheer at any time of year is never a bad thing. Teachers deserve All the gifts, so if you decided to bribe pamper your child’s teacher now, this list is pretty amazing any time of year!
15 Easy and Adorable Christmas gifts for Teachers
-
Because Teachers Can’t Live on Apples alone.
I kept my own thing super simple this year. I had great intentions but fell short.
I have a friend who makes super amazing cake pops. I ordered a couple dozen from her and added them to a cute Christmas tin I picked up at the dollar tree. To hold them in place, I stuffed some Styrofoam in it and then decorated with some tinsel garland at the top. I then stuck in this cute little printable that says – Because teachers can’t live on apples alone.

2. How sweet it is to be taught by you.
Last year I made these super cute oven mitt and cookie bundles. These sold really well in my craft store also. If you have a Silhouette or Cricut and an iron, these are easy projects, but if you don’t, you can probably find them locally (or you can message me and see if I’m still selling them). I sold the mitts alone for $6 and the set for $9.

Application is simple. You can use a heat press or an iron. Be sure to press a teflon sheet over it to protect the vinyl. Just peel off transfer sheet and voila! Easy, peasy Christmas gift that teachers will love!

3. One Smart Cookie
I actually use a design similar to this on my oven mitts, but I love this practical gift basket! This is a sweet gift a teacher’s whole family will appreciate!
4. Wine with Labels
As a former teacher, I find these labels hilarious and true! I would’ve loved a bottle of Riesling to help relax after long nights of grading papers!
5. Stovetop Potpourri
I received a bag of this one year from a student and I loved it! It made my whole house smell like Christmas! I aim to make one every year and re-create that fabulous scent, but I never have time.
6. Spread Christmas Cheer not Germs
This cute gift is thoughtful and practical. Tis the season for schools to be covered in germs!
7. Just Soap’n you have a Merry Christmas
This is another cute one teachers will appreciate to help them fight the battle against winter crude!
8. Sleep in Heavenly Peace
This little blanket and the saying accompanying it, are adorable!
9. We Whisk You a Merry Christmas
This little set is so simple and so adorable!
10. Re-Mark-able Christmas
I can’t tell you a teacher that doesn’t need Expo markers! It’s like these things grow legs and wander off during the day! And while it may not seem like much of a gift, trust me, you’re taking a little load off your teacher’s wallet because he/she likely has to personally buy a ton of these every year.
11. Fleece Navidad
Here’s another adorable blanket gift idea!
12. Any way you Slice it
Not all teachers love getting food. I was an exception to that, and so is my family. My husband loved Christmas when I would bring home all kinds of goodies! My kids don’t mind either!
13. Nacho Ordinary Christmas present
I love this sweet and funny Christmas gift! And who doesn’t love Nachos?
14. Keeping me on Target
I’ll be honest – these last 2 are going to top any teachers gift list! $5, $10 – whatever you want – it all helps. Speaking personally, Target supplied my classroom with almost everything year after year. Plus it’s super simple. Print add card, and go!
15. Amazing Christmas
Of course Amazon is another teacher favorite. You’ve probably heard me go on and on in my preschool series posts about the cheap used books you can find there. Half my classroom library probably comes from Amazon!
There you have it! Tons of Christmas gifts for teachers! I’ve got you covered for years to come! Don’t forget to pin this so you can find the post later!
