Looking for an easy back-to-school teacher gift? This teacher gift idea is filled with useful classroom essentials and finished with a sweet printable tag for the first day of school!
Back-to-school season always seems to sneak up quick!
One minute we are enjoying slow summer mornings and lazy pool days and the next I am headed to back-to-school shopping.
This is the first year I decided to make some cute teacher gifts. Maybe because this is my oldest’s last year in Elementary School and I am feeling a bit weepy about it…
This easy teacher gift is cute, practical, and simple to put together. I filled a clear hard zippered pouch with a few useful self-care items, then created my own printable in Canva (scroll down to grab the free printable).
What to Put in Your Back-to-School Teacher Gift
I filled my teacher gift pouch with a mix of things from Amazon like wet wipes, hand sanitizer, pens and post-it notes.
Pick a few items that fit your budget and arrange them inside the pouch.
Here are some other great gift ideas to put in the pouch:
- Chapstick
- Highlighters
- Sticky notes
- A small notebook
- Hand lotion
- Lip balm
- Gum or mints
- Individually wrapped snacks
- Chocolate or candy
- A coffee shop gift card
- An Amazon gift card
- A Target gift card
- A handwritten note from your child
Gift cards are always a great option because teachers can use them for something they want or for classroom supplies they need throughout the year.
Even a $5 coffee gift card paired with a cute pen and handwritten note can make such a sweet first-day-of-school gift.
First-Day-of-School Teacher Gift Tag Ideas
A cute tag makes even the simplest teacher gift feel extra special. You can print one at home, create one in Canva, or let your child make their own.
Here are a few fun sayings for a back-to-school teacher gift tag:
- I am so excited to have you as my teacher!
- This year is going to be bright!
- Thank you for helping me grow!
- Let’s have a colorful school year!
- Thanks for making school extra sweet!
- We are going to have a great year!
- I am looking forward to learning with you!
Print the tag on cardstock so it feels a little sturdier, then attach it with ribbon or yarn.
A Simple and Thoughtful Back-to-School Teacher Gift
The beginning of the school year can feel a little overwhelming for everyone. Kids are adjusting to new routines, parents are trying to remember a million dates, and teachers are welcoming an entirely new group of students.
This little gift can help ease nerves for both the kids and the teacher and is such a cute way to start the school year on a happy note!
