Between holiday gatherings, school events, and year-end festivities, many of us are starting to think through the gifts we’ll need over the next few weeks – hostess gifts, friend gifts, and of course, teacher gifts. As always, DoSayGive is here to help!
Over the years we’ve shared many thoughtful teacher gift ideas, including DIY gifts and class gifts like our signature gift card tree that so many readers have recreated. (It’s especially charming with a small Trader Joe’s Christmas tree or topiary)

We love the simplicity of gifting potted bulbs like paper whites or amaryllis – timeless, useful, and always well received. We also love supporting local bakeries and finding ready-to-go gifts like the gingerbread above from Empire Baking Co. in Dallas, which makes gifting so easy for busy moms.

Need something easy? Check out the many gifts on our Teacher Gift Guide! Because every teacher is different, we created a dedicated guide with ideas across a range of price points and ideas. You’ll find practical gifts, small luxuries, and plenty of ways to gift a classic favorite: the gift card. Today Anthropologie even has up to 40% off small gifts, which pair beautifully with a gift card tucked onto a pretty soap or attached to an ornament.
As always, be sure to follow your school’s guidelines. Room parents often send out a “teacher favorites” list at the start of the year, and this is the perfect time to revisit it.

If teacher gifts are on your December checklist, we’ve gathered the best ideas in one place to make it easy. Browse our full Holiday Gift Guide here!
