Teacher Gifts 2025
I’m so excited about how this year’s teacher gifts turned out! Even the gift wrap is adorable – if I may say so myself. I scooped up this apple fabric when our local JoAnn Fabrics was clearing out all of it’s stock. I knew that it could make me many years worth of teacher gifts, or something cute for my daughter’s traditional first day of school apple outfit. The zip pouches are quilted and have a red picnic-blanket patterned lining. It all comes together – quite literally – with a red zipper. To wrap them up I grabbed some plain white gift bags at the Dollar Tree. With a ruler…

Valentine Teacher Gift
Can you believe we’ve reached this point in the year?! That’s right, it’s time to figure out a valentine’s day gift for your kids’ teachers. This is one of those holidays that can be so tempting to just phone it in and buy the heart shaped coffee mug, but I’ve got a really fun idea for you instead! I’ve completely fallen into the cult of homemade sourdough, so this year I’m gifting teachers a fresh loaf with some other goodies. Here’s what I’ve got planned (all links are affiliates). Brown paper bread bags – These say “elevated home baker” for sure. Make your gift look like something that comes from…

Easy Gifts for Coworkers
Some coworkers are easy to buy for – you know them inside and out and they truly are your best friends. That’s not true for ALL coworkers though, and sometimes we need a little help picking out just the right gift. Here are some gift ideas that will be a hit with any coworker (all links are affiliates). Rifle Paper Co. Holiday Bookshelf Mug – This is an elevated Christmas Coffee mug!

DIY Kids Turkey Keepsakes
There’s a reason that the handprint turkey is still a standard Thanksgiving craft – it’s timeless and universally loved. We made this cute handprint before my daughter’s first Thanksgiving, and we look forward to pulling it out every year and comparing her hand size. There are so many ways to create family keepsakes with a simple handprint turkey. Here are a few of them:

Friday Freebie – A gift for new kindergarten families
I designed this First Day of Kindergarten gift to give to my preschoolers and their families when they head to Kindergarten for the first time, but it is also perfect for Kindergarten teachers to share with families at back to school night, or on the morning of the very first day. The freebie includes notes to families in a variety of colors, a list of things to include in the treat bag (which correspond with the note), and a template for little felt hearts. The note explains that the parent gets a felt heart to keep in their pocket, and so does the child, this way if they feel lonely throughout the…

Books to give at the end of the school year
Our students become our little family every year, and I always love leaving them with a memento to remember the community that we created, and to let them know that I’m still in their corner and cheering them on. Books are a wonderful gift to send them off with at the end of the year. There are always the classics, but how many copies of Oh The Places You’ll Go does one child really need? Here are 6 fund new options if you’re looking for some inspiration (all are affiliate links).

Valentine Teacher Gift
I’m so loving what I’ve put together for teacher gifts this year – definitely regretting not buying a set for myself! I’ve linked the items that I included below (all are affiliate links). The standout item in this little collection is the chocolate bar notebook. The feature that makes this so special is that it’s chocolate scented and it smells AMAZING! It also has a flexible cover that is a lot of fun. I made some stickers using my Box of Chocolates Valentine clipart, which are always a fun and easy addition. I use my Cricut’s print and cut feature to do this. A fancy pen is a great gift…

Here’s a super helpful resource for this time of year! Printable thank you cards have saved me more times than I can count.

These can be printed as needed, making it really easy to get those thank you’s out for any student or co-worker gifts before everyone leaves school for the holidays. You can grab your set HERE!
