Excited to share some back to school and meet the teacher type gifts!
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. I love that so many teachers create Amazon wish lists too! Some of these tags may apply to items they’ve requested.
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. You could fill a tub, basket or just tie this tag onto anything your teacher might need!
I also found these containers HERE that I thought were so cute. They come in this 2 pack for $10 and I love that they have lids.
You could grab some items from their Amazon wish list or add items like hand sanitizer, chapstick, mints, dry shampoo, snacks, kleenex, clorox wipes, wine….kidding, sort of!

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.

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!
