We’ve been blessed with amazing teaching staff throughout our daughters’ years in school and especially during this last very trying year! I try to find thoughtful and useful gifts for our teachers that show our sincere appreciation for all their hard work and the care they give our kids each day! Sometimes gift guides have so many products listed that it can be overwhelming sifting through them all! I’ve kept this list short and sweet with my top 5 ideas for unique Christmas gift ideas for teachers! I hope you find something on this list that’s just right for a teacher in your life this holiday season!

#1 GIFT CARD FOR CLASSROOM SUPPLIES | $10-$100
So many friends who are teachers have told me that they struggle to properly supply their classrooms. Many times they are paying out of pocket for art supplies, books, learning resources etc..!
My go-to present is a gift card to Education Station, which carries fun toys and classroom learning supplies! If you don’t have an Education Station near you, a gift card to any school supply store would be wonderful. Even a gift card to Walmart or Target would be helpful!
The best part about a gift card is that you can tailor it to your budget. You can give as little or as much as you can afford!
#2 LESSON PLANNER | $55
This adorable Lesson Planner is the teacher’s version of the Erin Condren Day Planner. It can be customized with weekly and monthly calendar pages, communication pages, lesson planning pages, relevant checklists, and more! Erin Condren Black Friday sales are on now!
If the teacher in your life deserves a little spoiling this Christmas, this is beautiful and useful gift! And I mean they get to choose their stickers! What teacher wouldn’t love that?
#3 ESSENTIAL OIL TEACHER KIT | $25-$50
I like to create winter survival essential oil kits for our teachers! Christmas falls during the height of cold & flu season and teachers are exposed to so many germs! Oils like Thieves, R.C, Peppermint and Eucalyptus can purify the air and support wellness.
I also like to include products like Thieves Household Cleaner, Thieves Hand Sanitizer, or Thieves Spray to help keep cold and flu at bay while cleaning and sanitizing with natural ingredients.
This year I made a package with a cute “What Good Shall I Infuse this Day” mug, a sample of essential oil-infused wellness teas, a sample of Thieves household cleaner, a sample of Thieves hand sanitizer, Stress Away mask spray, and a wellness roller!

#4 BOOK OR JOURNAL | $25-50
An interesting book, a pretty journal, or even an adult colouring book make great Christmas gift idea for teachers! Add in a fuzzy pair of reading socks, a soft throw or a quintessential teacher’s mug to up the cozy factor! And check out these erasable pens, I’m obsessed!!
#5 TOTE BAG | $25
Teachers are constantly carrying marking, supplies etc… back and forth to school. Why not have a custom tote made that shows your appreciation. It’s a thoughtful, but also functional and environmentally friendly Christmas gift idea!
I like the above tote from Etsy! How cute is that rainbow!!
