Teacher gifts help a teacher feel appreciated for all the work they put into students during the school year. I like to get gifts for them at the beginning of the year to start the year off on a positive note. I want them to know that I’m here to support them and encourage them. The gifts I give are usually a hodgepodge of all the useful things they would otherwise be supplying themselves.
I love the back-to-school time of year. Getting the kids ready and buying all of their supplies is so much for me. It you’re feeling stressed about being ready for school check out this article to help you remember everything you usually forget. It’s all in one place.
I also enjoy getting the teachers something special as well. Teachers have a rough job and I am not easy to work with either. My oldest has had his struggles and so I am very much on top of everything that is school related. The teachers have their hands full. I know it, I appreciate their patience with my many emails, and hope they understand it comes from a place of love and anxiety. I just want my child to be successful and we have been burned in the past by complacent teachers, who didn’t notify me of blatant struggles.
Anyway…
All of this is to say that I want my children’s teachers to know how much I appreciate the work they put in. I know it’s hard. So every year I put together a little care package for them.

I don’t want to go crazy, but I want the teachers to feel supported. I have three children attending school this year, so I will be making three teacher gifts. All of the supplies for the gifts came out to be about $25 a teacher. That being said, I shopped around. I got items off of Amazon, Walmart, and at Dollar Tree. If you’re buying teacher gifts on a budget I suggest you do the same. If you just want to get what you need fast, I have all the items I purchased linked above.
I hope they like the Teacher Gifts that I gave them. This year is going to be great I can already tell.
Comment below if you have other item ideas that would be great to add to my teacher gifts for next year.
