Excited to share some back to school teacher gifts!
I know this school year will look different in so many ways, so I think it’s especially important that we lift up and support our teachers!! While it is not necessary to get your teacher a gift by any means, I know as a former teacher, any gesture was ALWAYS appreciated! It is a tough job, and encouragement and support from parents means the world….whether that’s in person or virtually!
I put together some easy ideas that will work for any budget, all with free coordinating instant downloads. A few I shared last year, a few are new and a few (I PRAY!!) only apply for 2020! It’s going to be an adventure!!
Directions for Printable Tags:
Below each image there is a pdf and jpeg file for each printable.
Download and save the file to your computer.
Print file from your home computer or send to a print shop (Costco, Sam’s, Office Max, etc.) They will look best printed on heavy white cardstock.
Attach the tag with ribbon or glue or tape it on a dowel rod or skewer.
Have your child sign the front and write a note to their teacher on the back.
I ALWAYS saved and cherished sweet notes from students!
Teacher Survival Kit: 2 Design Options
I made these tags and taped it to this tub I found HERE (available in gray, pink and a light blue!). You could fill a tub, basket or just tie this tag onto anything your teacher might need!
A few ideas from my tub: Disposable masks, kleenex, mints, chapstick, gum, advil, hand sanitizer, pens, stationary, water, snacks, wine…..kidding, sort of!

Queen of the Screen
With so many teaching virtually, I thought blue light blocking glasses might make a great gift!

Can’t MASK our Excitement
I have to just laugh a little that this is real life….but if we have to wear a mask, might as well have fun with it!
These cards were made to fit the masks from Old Navy (they have lots of cute patterns that are 5 for $12.50). Find all the choices HERE.
But if you buy a mask from somewhere else, like THIS ONE, you can just cut the written part off and tie it on, rather than using the whole card.
Wishing you a FANtastic year!
These neck fans have been one of my FAVORITE Amazon purchases this summer!
People look at me funny when I pull it out of my bag at the pool, but then I put it on them and they are sold! Haha! Three speeds, adujustable, lights up and charges via USB. Teachers that are outside for bus duty, recess, practices, etc. need one of these!!
Available in several colors HERE.
You could also use this tag for other styles of portable fans. Sharing a few below:

Gift Card Holder Printables
There are SO many expenses at the beginning of a school year for a teacher. Most pay for supplies and classroom decor out of their own pocket! A gift card to offset some of these costs, a restaurant gift card so they don’t have to worry about dinner or a gift card to just treat themselves is never a bad idea! This was my favorite gift to receive as a teacher.
Find all these gift card printables HERE.
Custom Teacher Sign
This adorable sign is perfect for preschool and younger elementary school teachers.
There are two design options that you can find here and here.
My son was SO excited to gift this to his teacher last year!
