Teachers often have one of the most difficult and thankless jobs, and they deserve an extra token of appreciation during the holidays. These dedicated heroes go above and beyond to take care of our children, plan lessons, spend hours grading and so much more. It’s nice to show appreciation for their hard work during the holidays with these unique teacher gifts that are sure to put a smile on their face.
Plan your presents now with our comprehensive gift guide, packed chock-full of unique ideas for teachers. Whether you’re spending $18 or $100, you’ll find something special here to show you care.

We’ve got other practical picks, including a filtered water bottle and a sturdy tote bag, and of course, there are suggestions for classics like chocolates or candles. And even if you can’t spend on teachers this year, a personal note goes a long way too.
