‘Tis the season for teacher gift ideas! Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Pay Day- any excuse really for me! Some colleagues don’t exchange gifts, some go mad and some like to give each other token gifts.
No matter what your budget is, hopefully you’ll find something to suit any teacher that you wish to buy for.
I’ve decided to put together this post as an idea base for teacher gift ideas. It will contain a range of ideas all linked to Irish businesses.
Personalised Jewellery
Ciara, from @maidenjewelsbyciara makes the most beautiful handmade jewellery. I’ve purchased this chain numerous times for different teacher friends. It is an interchangeable necklace, where you can choose two pendants that would be most suited to the person you’re buying for.
This is a lovely idea as it allows the person who receives it to change up the necklace to suit their taste. They could also change the pendant themselves down the line too.
Ciara has offered a 20% discount to my followers by using code Rebecca20. It’s not affiliated, but very generous offer by Ciara (thank you)! With every purchase of a piece of jewellery, Maiden Jewels post your order for FREE. Do check out her Instagram page to see more of her fabulous creations.
Coffee Related Gifts
Is your teacher friend a coffee-a-holic? If so, some of these gifts could be right up their street.
Check with your local coffee shop and see if they offer barista training. I’ve noticed a couple of coffee shops in my area are offering this and I think it’s a gorgeous gift idea. They could learn how to brew their own coffee- ideal.
For other coffee related gift ideas, take a look at some of these. There is a coffee SUBSCRIPTION- fresh beans in the post? yes please!
These coffee related gifts were inspired by my local coffee shop P.S. Coffee Roasters.
Baked Goods
If you haven’t tried baked goods from 2210 Patisserie, then you need to treat yourself. Una sells the most mouth watering creations and for Christmas, she is selling a DIY Reindeer chocolate biscuit cake!!
If you know of anyone that loves baking, this could be right up their street. I’ve already placed an order for this beauty to be delivered on December 17th.
Here is a sneak peak at some other Christmas goods that are in store at 2210 Patisserie. All baked goods linked can be delivered right to your (or their) doors.
Paint and Prosecco
A fabulous Irish company send out a paint at home kit to host paint and Prosecco in your home. The Prosecco is not included, but you do get the paints, brushes, canvas etc. It could make a lovely gift for a crafty teacher.
Sophie’s Soaps
Beautiful, beautiful handmade soaps here by Sophie. Just take a look! Absolutely love that they are palm, cruelty and plastic free. These would really make a lovely gift for many teachers. Find them here: Sophie’s Soaps.
Love the Mug
Hand decorated, personalised mugs for all. If in doubt, a funny mug is always appreciated. I have ordered from Love the Mug many times for friends, family and teachers. The quality of the mugs are top notch, with speedy delivery too. Highly recommend.
Tote Bags
A witty tote bag can be a lovely gift for a teacher too. For carrying their copies, books, lunch or shopping- witty tote bags can be a simple way to bring a smile to someone’s face this Christmas.
Photographed below are tote bags from Hairybaby.com.
These beautiful ones are from Threelittlebirds.ie.
Thoughtful Prints
I’ve just discovered this stunning Irish company- Three Little Birds. Not only do they have thoughtful, beautiful gifts, but they also have the most unique prints.
Take a look at some of the prints below- a teacher gift just waiting to be snatched up! I might even have to purchase one for myself.
Funny Socks
Thomp 2 Socks create the funniest, happiest socks I’ve seen. They donate 5% of all proceeds to St. John of Gods too, which is a lovely gesture. Take a look on their website to see if you can spot a sock that would brighten the teacher in mind’s day.
I could list different Irish businesses on here for days, but I’ll leave it at that for tonight. Please leave a comment below with any other Irish business that stock gifts that you think would be ideal for teachers.
For Christmas ideas to do in the classroom, check this post. It’s full of resources that are ready to print and go.
All the best,
