Unique Teacher Gifts by Crafty Journal

Gifts Useful in the Classroom

Unique teacher gifts that can be used in the classroom are a helpful idea.

Since teachers need many items for their classes that are not supplied by the schools, they love receiving them as gifts.

Use these ideas for creative and useful ways to present the gifts.

But could also be used for a woman, depending on the paper you use to decorate this pencil holder.

Lunch Sack

Stitch a colorful lunch sack for the teacher’s lunch. Fill with goodies.

Quick& Easy Coffee Cozy

Stitch a quick and easy coffee cozy to help the teacher get through the morning!

Hand Sanitizer Gift

Remove the label from a pump bottle of hand sanitizer and add rub on stickers. Or Mod Podge a pretty picture on it. Tie a ribbon around the neck.

Another hand sanitizer here.

Use 20 to 50 colored pencils to make a pencil bouquet and tie with a colorful ribbon.

    I will have to keep this for the next teacher gift we have to buy. I’m sure they don’t need yet another gift card from us 🙂

    These are great! As a teacher, I definitely appreciate practical gifts over cute and crafty ones. (Minh, I do love gift cards, too, though! Starbucks and Barnes and Noble are my favorites 🙂 Also, I absolutely love books that can be added to our classroom library. All books in my classroom have been purchased with my own money, so books or Barnes and Noble gift cards are greatly appreciated.

    Cute ideas. I never thought about giving the teacher a back to school gift. Must be a new thing. Fun frugal ideas though!
