I know I’m biased because I am one… but teachers deserve A LOT of love… and some hugs y’all. It can be such a fun, wonderful, life-giving profession, but at the same time it can extremely exhausting – physically, mentally and emotionally as well. Over my short 4 years of experience in the field I’ve experienced some really amazing and wonderful days and then some of the hardest days (more like months/year) of my life. I have also walked alongside some incredible, and I mean truly incredible humans who have or are currently experiencing those same highs and lows, and it’s not easy.

This year I’ve been extremely blessed with such a sweet group and a wonderful team and it’s been an awesome year so far, but I know there are still so many teachers struggling all across the world. If that’s you, you are on my heart and in my prayers daily! The good news is: only a few weeks until Thanksgiving and Christmas breaks… you got this!

With that being said, this holiday season – keep your teacher friends in mind!

When in doubt, I don’t know of a single teacher who doesn’t love a good ole classic gift card to Target! So whether you’re ready to go all out and spoil a teacher you love, or are looking for something a bit smaller, but still meaningful, hopefully this guide sparks some ideas to help you say THANK YOU and Merry Christmas to the influential educators out there!

P.S. quick disclaimer – I know not all teachers are girls… a lot of them are though, so this is mainly focused on female educators! If you need some male gift ideas please refer to the links below for them 🙂

Patterned Goods

How adorable are the items at one of my favorite small businesses – Patterned Goods?! Every teacher needs a cute personalized notepad for making to-do lists, staying organized, writing notes and more! I love my Mrs. Evans notepad and use it daily because nothing feels better than physically crossing off an item on a teacher to-do list! You can create several different adorable gifts and bundles for anyone, not just a teacher! Use code: MADISON10 for a discount!

Barefoot Dreams Socks

One of my sweet kiddos gave me a pair of Barefoot Dreams socks for Valentines Day, and they are sooooo cozy! A great gift idea under $20 to let a teacher know you love her! They are super soft, high quality, and would make an awesome gift or stocking stuffer for someone this season!

A self care moment…

Let’s be honest, being a teacher can be hard. When in doubt, gift cards are always a good idea, and so is self-care! Whether it’s something small like this cute little lip polish, the gel eye patches, or a gift certificate to her favorite spa for a massage, I think all teachers could use a little extra self care this holiday season.
