PTO-Tested Holiday Gift Ideas for Teachers

This week we asked our Facebook friends for teacher gift ideas for the holidays. Many of you, including a few teachers, said gift cards are the go-to holiday gift. It’s true, you really can’t go wrong with a gift card. But if it’s not your style, here are some additional gift ideas to consider:

· A day of gift wrapping. Teachers can bring various gifts to school, PTO wraps them for free.

· A big box of K-cups for the teachers to share.

· Games for the classroom.

· Art supplies, like paints and brushes, and Play-Doh for the classroom.

· Ask teachers if there are nonprofits or causes they like to support and make a donation in their name.

· A week of meals donated by class parents.

· A staff lunch.

· Traditional baked goods, like a container of homemade cookies

· A basket filled with smaller classroom supplies like pencils, erasers, and crayons.

· A roll of wrapping paper and tape for the holidays.
