If a teacher has made a difference in your child’s or your life, then if you’re like me, you’re overflowing with gratitude and looking for a way to express it.  Many of my products are made with teachers in mind, because I know how amazing it is when someone goes above and beyond in that job.  Here are a few suggestions for teacher gifts from my Etsy, Amazon, and Zazzle shops:

chalkboard pendant

Made from a wooden tile set in a metal pendant tray, this fun pendant measures 1″ square or round, and is available in silver-tone or black.  Add your own art before giving, or leave as is and let the teacher decide!

mini cd case desk calendar

These cute little babies take up barely any space on a desk, but have a big artsy impact.  Visit the Cool Calendar section of my Etsy shop to see all the designs.

tote bag with quote

Based on my original acrylic painting, created for my son’s fourth grade teacher, of the Robert Louis Stevenson quote “Judge each day not by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds you plant.” Choose your own style and color options.  This design is also available as a print, and on a coffee and/or travel mug.

dance in the rain post-it notes

Looking for something simple?  How about post-it notes with a positive message — one that might help a teacher through some of those days when the kids are not being perfect angels perhaps?  This design’s hand-lettered art is based on Vivian Greene’s quote “Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass. It’s about learning to dance on the rain.”  Also available on a bunch of other fun products here in the Zazzle store.

to the world you may be one person print

Here’s another print idea — a quote that surely fits a top-notch teacher!

carpe diem mug

How about this fun reminder to seize the day?  Besides this mug (which can be customized in different sizes and colors), my “carpe the heck outta your diem” design is available on a bunch of other products in here my Zazzle Store.

 And don’t forget to send a card!

Thanks for stopping by and shopping with me!  Happy Winter Break to all students, parents, and teachers!
