Gift #1:

Custom Book: The first of the back-to-school teacher gifts that I recommend is this custom book. It is modeled after the beloved children’s book If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. You can DIY this or order a digital product and print it yourself or use a service. I have used Office Depot’s printing services in the past and always had positive experiences. This book would also be a great idea to save for Teacher Appreciation Week or as an end-of-school-year gift.

Gift #2:

Journal: The second of the back-to-school teacher gifts that I recommend is a journal. This is such a great idea! I would have loved this gift when I was a classroom teacher. My students would say the funniest and sweetest things. It would have been amazing to have had a special place to write those down to keep as memories.

Gift #3:

Personalized Note Holder: I can tell you most teachers use a lot of sticky notes and having a personalized holder is not only cute but useful. Including a set of colorful sticky notes would be great! (The only ones I use are the Post-its by 3M.)

Gifts #4 and #5:

The last two back-to-school teacher gifts that I recommend are the Coffee Gift Card Holder and the Dinner Gift Card Holder. These are amazing! Like the custom book, you could DIY or order the digital product, print it yourself, or use a service. This is a great idea if you need more than one gift. You may have more than one child or your child may have more than one teacher. It is also great to include those who often are not. ( librarians, nurses, teacher assistants…)
