Teacher Gift Ideas 2025

I’m back with another gift guide! Today we’re looking at ideas for teachers. This is always one of my favorite guides to put together because it’s my chance to share all of the products that I’ve been loving this year, and the things that I would love to receive. Here are my top teacher gifts for 2025, all links are affiliates.

Corkcicle Tumbler – At this point I’ve tried every popular drinkware brand and Corkcicle has risen to the top. I love these because they are truly perfect for every drink. The same tumbler can be used for cold or hot drinks, I can use the travel lid or leave it off, and I can easily add a straw too. These come in the most fun designs, and I especially enjoy their collabs with Rifle Paper Co. and Disney.

Kendra Scott Mini Ellie Earrings – Kendra Scott is my go-to for jewelry. I trust the product and I know that whatever I pick out will be timeless, classic, and still make a statement. These mini studs are so fun. The colors make me think of summer and they’re definitely a piece that can be worn daily and in the classroom.

Resin Bookmarks – I’m forever losing my bookmarks, and can most often be found using a post-it note to mark pages. These would feel so elevated!

Pearl Bow Claw Clip – This is a fun, and different take on the claw clip trend. The small size is perfect for pulling hair half back, and the pearl bow design make this fun for a work day outfit or a dressy holiday party.

Rifle Paper Co. Embroidered Notebook – I can just image filling this beauty with doodles during a staff meeting. A beautiful notebook makes any meeting better, and I’m a firm believer that you can never have too many.

Ohora Nail Strips – Nail strips are my favorite beauty trick. They look like an expensive manicure without the price tag, and they last just as long – if not longer.

Puffy Cosmetic Bag set – Like notebooks, you can never have too many zip pouches. These are perfectly on trend and sure to be used often!

Summer Fridays Jet Lag Under Eye Patches – I don’t know who invented these undereye patches, but they deserve a medal. If I’m feeling off in any way undereye patches make a big difference. It’s like a breath of fresh air for your face.

Touchland Hand Sanitizer – Any teacher will gain cool points with their students if they’re using Touchland. These are must-haves for teens and tweens (my 8 year old is getting one in her stocking this year), and the glitter silicone case is just a little extra fun.

Candle Warming Lamp – These are the latest candle trend and I’m on board. My main beef with candles is that they are literally on fire. As someone who has always had pets or young kids around, the whole open flame thing just doesn’t jive with my anxiety. These arm your candle with the light bulb, meaning that you can enjoy the scent and glow without the flame.

e.l.f. SKIN Holy Hydration! Jet Set Hydration Kit – I’m a huge fan of e.l.f. THe products really work and the price makes them accessible for everyone. This set would be an awesome gift for anyone who is traveling over the holidays.

I’ll be back on Wednesday with a roundup of all of my favorite products for teachers from the last few years if you’re still looking for inspiration!
