FOR TEACHERS
So I just want to mention one thing about gifting for teachers. I have talked to A LOT of teachers and they always say the same thing. They appreciate everything they receive but you can probably imagine how many mugs, ornaments, etc that all say #1 Teacher on them, haha! What they could really use are gift cards! Teachers buy a lot of their own school supplies so Walmart, Target, Amazon, Grocery, Starbucks gift cards are you’re best bet! BUT if you’d like to still throw in a gift they can unwrap, I got you covered.
1. Lesson Planner: this is a super cute and functional Erin Condren lesson planner!
2. Bracelets: these would be so perfect in your school colors! I can see a teacher rocking this all year to show their school spirit! Use code SOLTROP10 for 10% off!
3. Expo Markers: help them stock up on things they use every day!
4. Cozy socks: any adult loves to get new socks – make them super cute and cozy ones!
5. Fun Pens: any colorful pens really.. I like these felt tip markers because they don’t bleed through paper.
6. Lotion: or hand sanitizer to keep at their desk.
7. Slippers: I had these as part of my gift guide “for her” too! Just a basic cozy slipper is always nice to have.
8. Candle: everyone needs more candles.
9. Bar Earrings: these earrings are my new obsession! They are lightweight and super trendy!
10. Scarf: there are so many cute options for scarfs!
