Don't Forget: It's Almost Time to Buy Those End-of-Year Teacher Gifts (2024)

Since the thought really does count more than the gifts, have your student fill out the prompts in this fill-in-the-blank book. Or, you can do it as a class, and have every student fill out one page.

This book details all the different ways a teacher can affect the lives of their students. Have your kid add their own thoughts as an inscription or on a card.

Every teacher can use another plant for the classroom. Buy a cute, easy-to-care for succulent online or at a local flower shop, and you can give it a heartfelt meaning with this wooden tag (plant not included). It comes in a set of 20 tags, so you can give one to each kid in the class, save them for use throughout their school careers or use them for after-school babysitters, nannies, grandparents or other caregivers.

True fact: Teachers never have enough tote bags. There are nine styles of bags here to choose from, each of which can be personalized with a teacher's name. If you want to make it a class gift, you can fill it with your teacher's favorite snacks or needed classroom supplies before you gift it.

Whether they need flags to mark pages or bigger sheets to write their to-do lists, this seven-piece set will serve all their sticky-note needs. When you add them up, there's more than 550 sheets in total!

If everyone chips in, you can get this thank-you-in-a-box with pre-selected gifts. It comes with a 20-oz drink tumbler, a coffee mug and a rose sandalwood candle — all of which have "teacher" messages on them — plus a jewelry plate, a pen and a greeting card.

Students are going to say some bonkers things over the years. This journal gives your child's teacher a place to write them all down, so they can remember the corkers for years to come. You never know which of your child's quotes might make it in there!

Put those class photos to good use and gift your teacher with a personalized poster of the entire group. You can get this in a range of sizes, from a desktop 5" x 7" ($24) to a huge 40" x 54" poster ($230). If you can swing it, you can make it extra special by getting each kid to sign their photo.

It may seem impersonal, but when we asked teachers what they really wanted, the overwhelming No. 1 answer was a gift card. (A thoughtful note was also greatly appreciated.) This one to Amazon can be set for any amount, and it comes in a festive "reveal" box.

You can personalize everything about this stamp, from the look of the teacher (add glasses, facial hair or a tie, or go for a long-hair version), to the font and message. They'll enjoy adding a personal touch to all of their assignments.

It's not pretty, but man can teachers find a million uses for this. The clear strip is sticky on two sides, which is helpful for hanging up anything from picture frames to string lights to signs and banners. It's incredibly strong, and yet it can be peeled off easily — and even washed off and reused.

At the end of the day, anything you can give a teacher to relax is appreciated. This book offers coloring sheets with funny phrases like, "Thursday feels like Day 4 of a hostage situation."

Show your teacher that they're the sharpest by putting their name on an oversized desk pencil. You can customize the wooden sign, and they can put it on the desk or use Command strips to attach it to a wall.

This beautiful desk set has everything they need to keep their supplies organized. It comes with pencils, push pins, binder clips, paper clips, magnets, a tear-off notepad and an eraser — they'll be all set for next year!

Compatible with brands like Stanely, Hydro Flask, Owala and Yeti, this little hook adheres to reusable water tumblers to give them an extra bit of functionality. You can also gift your teacher hook-on accessories like chapstick holders or AirPod cases, or fun charms like initial letters or beaded strings. It's perfect for that teacher that never goes anywhere without their water bottle.

Cadence's capsules keep small amounts of everything sorted, from pills to lotions to little things like change or thumb tacks. And the containers are magnetic, so they really fit together and stay together in a drawer. Teachers can use them in their desks, or, if they're traveling over the summer, they can be used for toiletries since they hold a TSA-approved amount of liquid.

What does a teacher need more than to relax? This spa set comes with therapeutic shower steamers in six different scents: lemongrass and coconut, menthol and eucalyptus, watermelon and grapefruit, cacao and orange, and peony and pear.

Send your teacher home with a sweet note of thanks — literally. Each set comes with one potholder, one rubber spatula and baking mix.

This book compiles the funniest, weirdest, wrong test answers ever put to paper — which means lots of laughs for teachers, who've all had a student say something out of left-field.

No matter what kind of sweet tooth they have, your teacher's sugar cravings will be satisfied with this elegant candy assortment. It comes with three of Sugarfina's best-selling items: Rosé All Day gummy bears, Peach Bellini candies and Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Caramels, all of which can be purchased individually for $19 per cube.
