051. Last Minute Teacher Gift Ideas

Teaching to the TOP - A podcast by Teaching on the Double - Thursdays

It always seems that this time of the year flies by! Before you know it, it is the end of the year and you still have gifts to buy before your kids go on break. If you are listening to this and you are a teacher then you know the amazing array of gifts we can receive each year. From clothing items to an excess of coffee mugs we want to share what teachers would actually like for the holidays. In this episode we are sharing our favorite last minute gift ideas.    But before we jump into the gift ideas please know that while almost all of the items we are going to mention are things you have to purchase, not all gifts have to be bought. Consider what you are able and willing to give to your child’s teacher or teachers in your building.    LAST MINUTE TEACHER GIFT IDEAS:   Thoughtful card from students or letter of appreciation Bath and Body works soap dispenser wrapped in a clear bag and filled with candies The Starbucks disposable coffee cup filled with candy and a gift card attached Target or Amazon gift cards are always appreciated! Sanitizers & Lotion combo Collection of the teacher’s favorite snacks (maybe throw in a code for a Redbox movie) Their favorite school supplies (cardstock, laminating sleeves, markers, etc.) Donate your time (offer to cut, laminate, etc.) Customized vinyl name left unused so that the teacher can apply to an item of his/her choice (if you don’t have one, see if a friend can make it for you) Something from their wishlist - such as Amazon (ask the teacher if they have one)   Remember, this is a time of year to show your love and appreciation to those around you. We hope these ideas have helped make this holiday season a little less stressful.  SUBSCRIBE & REVIEW Are you subscribed to our podcast? If you’re not, I want to encourage you to do that today.
