Thoughtful Teacher Gift Ideas for Any Budget

Kelly R. said:  A set of quality pencils customized with the teacher's name will certainly come in handy throughout the school year, and are more likely to be returned to their owner when they are borrowed!

Erin P. said:  This is a fun and handy gift that your child's teacher will enjoy using! You can choose from different sayings and personalize with the teacher's name.

Brittany Kozielski said:  Any teacher would love a new tote bag. Teachers are constantly transporting laptops and papers back and forth from school to home. They would all welcome a new tote bag that is personalized and fun to carry their items in. Personalizing a tote bag can be an inexpensive gift that will mean a lot to the recipient.

Kelly R. said:  If you suspect your child's teacher already has enough coffee mugs and tote bags, consider a gift card from TisBest. The recipient is able to "spend" the funds to support a charity of his or her choice.

Kristy Pepping said:  Most teachers are required to carry a set of keys and also an ID around their school. Why not buy them a lanyard to hold their keys and ID? Find out what their interests are, hobbies or maybe their favorite color to customize it.

Sarah Calamita said:  If you have a male teacher that may be hard to buy for, Man Crates are a great idea! They are filled with a variety of themes - grilling, sports themed glasses, coasters, BBQ, food, drink and treats. It comes with a hammer and there is a strategy to open it. We got it for my daughter's 1st grade teacher and all of the kids loved watching him try to open it!

Erin P. said:  Give your favorite teachers a gift they can enjoy right away! This small company out of Louisiana has some great soups that usually require only purchasing two or three additional ingredients. Our favorite is the cheesy chicken enchilada soup. All of Us has some great dips as well.

Erin P. said:  My husband discovered this pasta when he was on a work trip last year. He brought some home and we enjoyed it so much that we ordered several to give as Christmas gifts, including to our son's teachers! The website includes recipe suggestions for the different pasta flavors. It would probably be a nice touch to print these out and include them with your gift!
