Easy and Fun DIY Christmas Gifts for Teachers

“Teachers plant seeds of knowledge that grow forever in the hearts of their students.”

Finding the perfect gift for your child’s teacher can be a delightful yet challenging task, especially during the holiday season. Teachers work tirelessly throughout the year to educate, inspire, and nurture our children, and Christmas is a wonderful opportunity to show our appreciation. DIY gifts add a personal touch that store-bought items often lack, making them a heartfelt way to express gratitude. In this blog, we’ll explore a variety of creative and thoughtful DIY teacher gift ideas that are sure to bring a smile to your favorite educator’s face this Christmas. Whether you’re a crafting novice or a seasoned DIY enthusiast, you’ll find inspiration to create something truly special.

Easy DIY Gifts for Teachers-

Some of our favorites that have been a favorite with our teachers have been:

• Hot Chocolate with a mug!

This was one that we shared last Christmas for teachers. Our teachers loved this one. Pair it with some cozy socks or a gift card and you have a great gift for your teacher. If you plan on doing this as a gift keep an eye out for a cute mug as they hit the shelves soon.

• Favorite Cookie Mix

I love giving mixes as gifts because then they can save them and make them at any time. I like this because then if they get a lot of baked goods already then they don’t have to worry about something else going bad. You can use a mason jar for this and add in the ingredients to your child’s favorite cookies or if you’re looking for something quick to buy your favorite package. Pair it with a cute baking mit and you have a perfect gift.

Some cute NEW ideas that I found

During one of my scrolling on Pinterest sessions I found some cute ideas that I’m thinking of trying this year for my kids’ teachers. We will have 6 teachers to give to this year so I have to start planning early so I don’t go crazy this year.

• Cozy Basket

Add fuzzy Slippers, a fuzzy blanket, a candle and some chocolate. Perfect for your teacher to get cozy at home during winter break. If she is a book Lover and has a kindle, throw in a small Amazon gift card so she can get cozy up with a book during her break!

• Family Game Night Basket

Throw in a board game or card game in the basket with a couple boxes of candy and popcorn. What a fun gift that they can enjoy with their family during the holidays. If I was a teacher this is a gift I would enjoy. My family loves game nights.

• Ice Cream Night

Throw some cute bowls, ice cream cones and toppings into a basket for the perfect ice cream night gift. Just top it off with a grocery store gift card so your teacher can get her favorite ice cream! How cute is this idea I love it. You can’t go wrong with ice cream!

• Pet Basket

Maybe your teacher is a big pet lover. If so, get her a small gift to spoil her furbabies. Throw in a toy with treats and it’s the perfect small gift.
