Teacher’s Christmas Gift Ideas for All Budgets
The unsung heroes of our children’s lives: teachers and support staff! They put up with our tiny humans’ antics, teach them actual useful things, and somehow still manage to smile at the end of the day. So, when it comes to Christmas gifts, we want to show our appreciation in a big way!
But, let’s be real, the best gifts are the ones made with love by our kiddos. Here are some gift options for teachers and support staff that range from inexpensive and handmade to expensive and store-bought:
Handmade and Heartfelt:
1. Handprint ornaments made by the kids (priceless!)
2. Personalized picture frames with a special message (around $5)
3. Handmade coupon book with promises to help with classroom tasks (priceless!)
4. Class photo album or frame (around $20)
5. Hand-painted or decorated mug with a heartfelt message (around $10)
6. Hand-painted ornaments (around $3)
7. Hand-made personalized cards (around $1-3)
8. Personalized hand-made angels ($1-10)
Moderate:
1. Gift card to a popular coffee shop or restaurant ($10-25)
2. Scented candle or essential oil diffuser for the classroom ($15-30)
3. Book or resource for the classroom library (around $20-50)
Expensive:
1. Personalized plaque or engraved gift for the teacher’s desk (around $50-$100)
2. Experience gift, like tickets to a local event or a gift certificate for a massage (around $50-$200)
Remember, it’s the thought that counts, not the price tag! Encourage your kiddos to get creative and make something special for their teachers.
