15 Holiday Gift Ideas For Teachers

Posted December 12, 2024 by Prairie Wife -

We all know how hard our teachers work, but it can be a struggle to determine how to show our appreciation! Thanks to our Prairie Wife readers, I have an incredible list of 15 holiday gift ideas for teachers. All of the gifts cost under $25 and should be relatively easy for you to find, no matter where you live. And yes… plenty of the ideas below work for male teachers too!

Before we dive into our list, I encourage you to have your child write a personalized thank you note to each teacher. The older your children are, the longer and more detailed the thank you should be. Elementary-age kids can design the cards themselves. Older students appreciate having a few generic premade card designs to pick from. This way, they can personalize them to match their teachers’ personalities.
