Amazon Finds for Teachers
I often turn to Amazon for quick and easy gifts that I know my kids’ teachers will love. While I’d love to be the mom who has time to hand make all of the things, that’s just not my reality right now. Here are some of our top picks for quick and easy gifts for teachers.
This cute planter for teachers to put on their desk. I like to gift this one with a small plant or succulent inside. Our now 2nd grader gave this to his teacher when he was in kindergarten and she still has it on her desk.
When you want to recognize multiple teachers/staff members, this pen and bookmark set is the perfect thing. I dropped them off at school with my son and they were able to put them in the teacher’s mailboxes to brighten up their day a little.
If you can’t decide what to get, these gift boxes have a little bit of everything. We love the variety of items in this box, and the teachers loved them, too. It has a tumbler, teacher survival kit, metal bookmark, cute teacher socks, a bracelet, and a card that you can personalize.
I laughed out loud when I saw this candle and knew it was the perfect gift for my older son’s teacher. He’s a great kid, but can sometimes be challenging. She thought it was just as funny.
This Burt’s Bees set continues to be a favorite with teachers. We gifted these for the holidays this year with a handmade card. Easy peasy!
When in doubt, I go for a gift card. I like to make it a little more special with one of these gift card holders. We keep a set on hand at our house for any last-minute gift needs.
