DIY Teacher Gift Guide

Every year, I make my kids' teachers gifts. This year, my son has five teachers every day (yes, in fourth grade!), and my daughter has two. They also have a bus driver and support staff that they really like. I usually do altered clipboards or tumblers, but they are only two years apart, so I can't give the same thing two years later. Here are some great DIY teacher Christmas gifts that he or she will surely love! You can also use these for end of the year gifts or even for teacher appreciation week.

Chocolate Covered Pretzels - Hello! It's chocolate! Who wouldn't love chocolate??

Embroidered Frame - How cute is this? My kids' teachers all have themes in their classroom, so you could make it match the theme or colors.

Dried Fruit Potpourri - I love this idea because teachers are always so busy in December, but during her break, she can get that amazing holiday smell in her home.

Organizer - Any teacher would love this supply organizer! You can include supplies or not. I think I would fill it with some candy and then let her fill it.

Give Extra, Get Extra - These are perfect if you have a lot of teachers to buy for. One year, we had more than 10 for 2 kids! While I would love to get them all amazing gifts because they were amazing, it's just not in the budget. This thoughtful gift is affordable and will be very appreciated.

Candy Bouquet - My kids had a male teacher in first grade. I really struggled with a Christmas gift for him the first year! I ended up donating to the class gift, but I wish I had seen this!
