10 Teacher Gift Ideas (that aren’t mugs, cups or gift cards)

I started thinking about end-of-year teacher gifts 6 weeks before the end of school. I simply hate waiting until the last minute to buy gifts and just grabbing whatever I see on a shelf. I seem to become over-analytical and eventually paralyzed if I wait until the last minute.

But in my online research, I had the hardest time finding something I really liked. My goal was to find some middle ground between a “teachery” mug or cup and a gift card. I wanted to be thoughtful yet relevant, which is not necessarily an easy task considering my kids’ teachers range from fresh out of college to retirement age.

So consider this my teacher gift idea board for teachers of all ages, priced from $15 to $30. I like to think of the majority of these gifts as classic, albeit a bit southern. And spoiler alert, I chose to buy Magnolia Table for my kids’ preschool and kindergarten teachers!
