Teachers are actual real-life superheroes so, of course, we’re inclined to get them a little something-something every now and again, it’s the least we can do, after all. But if you’re like us you do tend to struggle to choose a gift that you know they’ll love, appreciate, and use. We thought it might be helpful to create a little gift-giving guide for the next time you’re on the search for the perfect teacher gift!

Gift Cards
Amazon, Wal-Mart, Target, Barnes and Noble, restaurants, you name a store and a teacher can find something they need from said store. And even if you’re intentions are that they treat themselves, you know good and well they’ll be buying something for their classroom, so if you want to ensure they’ll use it on themselves, stick to gift cards to their favorite restaurants or local flavors you know they’ll love. Tucking a gift card into a nice handwritten thank you letter will be the best gift you could give them, we guarantee it.
School Supplies
Teachers spend an absurd amount of their own money on school supplies, so if you’re looking for something to gift them, give them the gift of school supplies and they will forever be thankful. We love the idea of making a school supply gift basket for your kiddo’s teacher for the first day of school, Christmas break as the classroom supply is dwindling, or even the last day of school so teachers can have them for the upcoming school year. You can’t go wrong with school supplies.
A Smart Mug
Much like parents, teachers repeatedly pour themselves a mug of hot coffee, but by the time they get to it, it’s just luke-warm at best. A smart mug can sit on their desk and keep their coffee, tea, or hot chocolate warm until they have a hot, literal second to get back to it. Buy one here!

Crock-Pot Lunch Crock Food Warmer
Nobody wants to only have cold ham sandwiches for lunch every single day, and teachers have to keep up with 20+ kids for 8+ hours a day, they need fuel! A great beginning or end of the year gift for your kiddo’s teacher is this tiny crock-pot that they can simply plug in about an hour before their lunch, then enjoy a nice, warm meal. Buy one here!
Flair Pens
Trust us on this, if you get your kid’s teacher one thing, let it be flair pens. Teachers love pens and have to spend way too much of their own money on them. Buy a package here!
