Teacher Appreciation Gift Ideas

It’s Bridget, again! Did you know Teacher Appreciation Week is the first week in May?

Kim thought that since I’ve been blessed to be “room mom” for all three of my children and get to work with their amazing teachers, I should share my favorite teacher gift ideas to thank teachers for their hard work!

While I love a good gift card, I prefer to share gifts a bit more personal with those who work so tirelessly help shape my children. So today I’m sharing a few of the great finds that have inspired me:

Mason jar filled with chocolate candies via Domestically Speaking has a clever teacher poem, too!
DIY Coffee Cozy via The Celebration Shoppe is perfect for the coffee lover
“Thanks for helping me grow” teacher gift via Giggles Galore is perfect for anyone who touches your child’s life!
Teacher Appreciation printable, Thank You For Raising The Bar via The Celebration Shoppe is another easy (and FREE) way to share a personalized teacher gift

I also wanted great gifts for male teachers, since two of my children have wonderful men leading the class. These are a few of my favorites:

Root Beer Teacher Gifts via At Home in the Northwest are pretty “AW”some for a male educator {snicker}
Dollar Store Teacher Appreciation Gifts via How Does She? are definitely on my list of must-do DIY projects!
Personalized Calculator via Skip to My Lou’s guest blogger from Positively Splendid
Teacher Appreciation Grilling Kit via Mom on Timeout is the perfect gift for a male teacher!

And I just couldn’t pass up sharing these clever teacher gift ideas using school supplies:

Back to School teacher gift via The Celebration Shoppe by Kim’s lovely friend, Deanna, of Mirabelle Creations
Colorful Crayon craft via Spoonful would make a charming accent over any teacher’s desk
Pencil Vase via Caro’s Trifty Adventures

As always, I hope you’re inspired to craft, bake, create and celebrate!
