My favorite teacher gift isn’t for the teacher. Instead I give them something for the classroom. This year, the walls were looking a little bare, so I gave him a set of motivational posters, things like perserverance and success and whatnot. Or sometimes I give books or art supplies. The teachers really seem to like that because I know they get a lot of little doo-dads that they don’t always need.

I love these ideas! I would love to get crafty gifts from my class. The clipboard is cute and practical, and the seasonal button canvases and the pencil flower vase are darling.

Super cute ideas! I love seeing my button canvases in the mix – they’re much more colourful in person!

These are good ideas. I’ve done a personalized tumber that I made out of the ones where you can make your own insert. I know from having teacher friends that office supply store and book store gift cards are always appreciated in any amount.
