Hello friends and happy MAY!! As a teacher, just hearing someone mention the month of May gets me all excited and giddy! As much as I love my job and my students, summer is such a fantastic reset each year and I absolutely love spending time at home with my kids. Teachers never really grow out of the excitement that comes with school breaks, and I love that I still get to experience that feeling, even as a grown up!
As the school year winds down, a request I always seem to get is end of year gifts for teachers! I think it is so incredibly sweet each time I get a gift from a student, not matter how big or small. It makes my heart smile just knowing that they were thinking of me! So, I decided do do a little round up of some great gift ideas, at all different price points!
You can never go wrong with a neutral colored lanyard! By the end of each school year, my poor lanyard has seen better days. Lol. This one is less than $10 and such an adorable option for any teacher or school professional!
Teacher tee’s are just the best. For those days when you want to be comfortable, but still look put together, a teacher tee is the perfect fit! I have a handful that I have received from students and not only are they cute, but they remind me of that student each time I grab them! Snag this one for less than $20!
Flair pens are self explanatory in the world of teaching. If you know, you know!! These little pens are their own form of currency and I can almost guarantee you that any teacher you know would be thrilled to receive some of these bad boys! These are a bit on the pricey side at almost $25, but will be well loved by anyone who gets them!
Want to give a cute, aesthetically pleasing gift for a teacher in your life but don’t have time to get everything together? I have the answer for you- a premade teacher appreciation gift box! This is so cute and I’m wondering why I didn’t come up with this adorable idea! This comes with a 12oz Wine Tumbler, Bookmarks, Ceramic Pen Holder and Pouch Bag all in an adorable box for less than $30!
Teachers LOVE a good teacher bag, and this adorable monogrammed tote would be so perfect for bringing things back and forth from school and back! It’s typically almost $30, but currently on sale for just $19.99!
This chapstick holder is such a great gift idea! It attaches to your keys or lanyard and you can stick your favorite chapstick inside. How cute is that?! You can snag a 5 pack for just $10.99. Perfect if you are buying for a large number of people!
This stapler just makes me smile! I love the cute floral print and teachers can always use an extra stapler! This is less than $15 and promises to staple through things as thick as cardboard!
I don’t know anyone who doesn’t love a good tumblr, especially my teacher friends! This 24oz tumbler comes with a handle and a straw and comes in 5 cute colors! It’s Sweat Proof, Dishwasher Safe, and BPA Free. Such a great gift and is less than $20 right now!
Finally, we have this J.R. Watkins hand cream! This is so rich and moisturizing and makes a great gift! As we all wash our hands constantly (especially teachers!!) and this hand cream is MUCH needed! Its less than $10 and sure to be used by anyone who you gift it to!
Overall, I think the best gift you can give a teacher is gratitude. Teaching can be a thankless job sometimes, and just knowing that someone cares and appreciates you is the greatest gift of all! No matter your budget- anything you decide on will be loved by the teachers in your life simply because you took the time to think of them!!
