8 Teacher Appreciation Gift Ideas
“Thanks for all the love you give,
For teaching us and helping us live.
Your kindness and your steady grace,
Make the world a brighter place!”
1. Finger Print Framing
I love this, Its more of a class appreciation gift to a teacher, so I think this is definitely more suitable as a group activity, Simple and cost effective. One frame. 10-15 different color paints, and a printer or someone with a delicious handwriting. Just remember to let everything dry nicely before putting on the glass. I made that mistake with another project.
2. DIY Crayon Vase

DIY Crayon Craze, How very simple is this??? a cheap box of crayons, Either a pen holder like in the picture, or a empty bean tin, or corn whichever you prefer. Glue the crayons to the exterior, then either fill with chocolates and stationary or gift it just as it is.
3. Shine Bright like a bulb
So, Ive seen in some craft shops that sell empty light bulbs, that can be filled with all types of things, this is then another easy to do DIY little project that your kiddo can assist with.
4. DIY Mason Jar
I would suggest having a vinyl / Sticker printed. Then purchasing a mason jar, a piece of string and a short battery operated string of fairy lights. Put it all together, MAGIC.
5. Smartie Jar for a Smartie Teacher
This is a sure winner, How very cute, again simple DIY needed. Glass jar with wooden lid – Make sure the lid is rather smooth. Write the cute message on the lid, fill with Smarties and Whoooah!!! on the button – Winner.
6. Teacher Xmas Bauble
Most print shops will have the necessary machines to print onto a plain bauble, then once printed, fill with pieces of erasers and voila.
7. Funky Wine Label
Easy to make, no stress… you will need a nice bottle of something special, does not have to contain alcohol. A simple word processor and a printer with preferably color ink. But if you only have black and white ink, type it up, print it and get your kid to color it in.
8. Funny Bottle Label
I’m sure many parents can relate to this bottle tag, I think as parents we feel we should be getting bottles with this label on, again real simple, paper, ribbon and ink oh and course a bottle of something, a little stronger than apple juice…
“Teachers face the challenge of guiding energetic minds and navigating a sea of attitudes every day. They keep our kids safe, inspired, and engaged—often with a smile through the chaos. A thoughtful gift, no matter how simple or DIY, can show just how much we appreciate their dedication and the care they give to our little ones.” me
