Great Teacher Gift Ideas

As promised, we are following up on Malia’s Teacher Gift Giving Dilemma Post with some fun personalized or handmade gift ideas. These ideas are great not only for teachers, but are affordable options for friends, neighbors and, well, you.

Chalkboard Labels

Give your teacher the gift of organization with a set of the new Chalkboard Labels from Cherry Hill Designs. These labels are as fun as they are functional and versatile, and come in small, extra large or variety packs. Write on the labels with traditional chalk or a chalk pen, wipe clean and reuse.

A set of 40 small labels (2 x 1 rectangles and ovals) is $8, 5 extra large labels (4 x 6) is $10 and a variety pack of 18 labels is $8. Cherry Hill Designs is offering you an exclusive discount dubbed The Shopping Mama Special! Save $1 off any set of chalkboard labels - as many or as few as you want – you get $1 off each through the end of December with code tsm1210. You can only use this coupon code one time so make sure you get all the labels you want on your first purchase!

Teacher Bookplates

I’m fairly certain there’s no such thing as too many books in a classroom, so donating a few books to your child’s room is a gift that benefits everyone. Make the classroom donation more personal and in honor of your child’s teacher with an adorable Personalized Bookplates from Sarah + Abraham. The bookplates feature a playful silhouette image in the color of your choice and are sold in sets of 16 for $18.

Shop now and get a free gift with purchase of $10 or more. This is an exclusive offer for Sarah + Abraham Facebook fans and subscribers so we appreciate her extending the offer to all of you! Check out the free gift with purchase options and add your selection to your cart.

PS. My son’s teachers are getting the Desk Calendar as part of their gift because I just LOVE it.

Relax at Home

If you want to give your favorite teacher a little “aaaaaaah” and peacefulness in the form of a gift to enjoy outside the classroom, we like the handmade candles from Handmade by Hoyt. They’ve even taken the trouble out of wrapping and are offering gift wrap options on all pillar candles.

And, you can’t go wrong with homemade candy, especially homemade candy you don’t have to make. Have It Sweet caramels and marshmallows are nothing short of divine. My mouth waters just looking at this photo, let alone reading the variety of flavors available. Bourbon Pecan Caramel? Yes, please.

Happy Shopping!
