Not another teacher mug. Buying Christmas gifts for teachers can get tricky. Over the years I have probably been gifted at least 50 teacher mugs. I love a good mug, but I have certain mug standards, the mug must be large with a good-sized handle to hold. However, I don't need any more mugs and your child's teacher probably doesn't either.
What do Teachers Really Want for Christmas?
If you feel that a gift card is too impersonal, there are plenty of other teacher gifts most teachers would appreciate. (this post contians affiliate links- the small percentage I earn is used to buy supplies for my classrom)
Pens, we write a lot, and basic ink pens can be boring. these are a few of my favorites. Grab the cute pencil pouches and fill them up if you have a lot of teacher gifts to give.
Post-Its, these are a teacher staple in the classroom, fun colors in all sizes are a treat.
Staplers, we use these daily. A stapler that doesn't jam on us while using is what we want.
Laminator, every teacher needs a personal laminator (or 2) one for school and one for home.
Backpack, we are always carting around a ton of stuff and a good backpack makes this easier.
Water Bottle, Teachers forget to drink water during the day. Having a big water bottle is a great reminder.
Cardstock, I personally use it a lot and for some teachers colored cardstock is a luxury.
A Pencil Sharpener, a good one is essential for any classroom. Teachers like to have a reliable one for students to use.
Insulated Coffee Mug, it is no secret that teachers often end up drinking cold coffee. Having a well-insulated mug can help remedy this problem.
Gift Cards, If you want to do a gift card, Amazon, Target, TeachersPayTeachers, and Starbucks, (if your teacher is a coffee or tea drinker) are always a good idea.
Pin this post for later- it will come in handy.
