How to choose for a teacher
- Think about classroom use: sticky notes, bookmarks and a sturdy pencil sharpener get used every day.
- Pair a small gift with a note or drawing from the student, which teachers often keep for years.
- For younger grades, a puppet can become a storytelling tool the whole class enjoys.
- Consider a class group gift, pooling contributions into one useful item instead of many small ones.
Usually safe to skip
- Ornaments and knick-knacks, which pile up quickly after years of teaching.
- Heavily scented items, since tastes vary and some classrooms are scent-free.
- Homemade baked goods, which some schools discourage and may go uneaten.
Questions people ask about gifts for a teacher
- What do teachers actually want for Christmas?

- Is it okay to give a teacher bath and body products?
- A bath and body gift set can be a nice treat, but lightly scented or unscented options are the better pick, since fragrance preferences vary widely.
- Should gifts for a daycare teacher be different?
