Can y’all believe that Thanksgiving is only a week away?! I am kind of in denial that this year is flying by at the rate that it is. Many of you have asked me what to get for teachers/ hostesses and anyone else in your life that needs a small gift as a treat during this holiday season. (Ahem, besides ourselves! Ha! Although make sure you head to the bottom of this post because I’ve got a HUGE giveaway valued at over $500 so you CAN treat yo’self!)

This is my 2nd of many gift guides (Check out the toddler gift guide here!) by your popular request! This hostess gift guide has lots of options that can apply for teachers as well so I decided to combine the two, mainly because there aren’t enough days before Christmas to get out all the great holiday content you guys want. It’s a good problem to have! HA!

I was cracking up when I asked for suggestions for teacher gifts because I got conflicting answers like the below ones. HA! So, just take note of your child’s teachers’ preferences and try to take your best guess at how they feel on some of the more “traditional” teacher gifts. 😉

“I always really appreciate gift cards (Starbucks, Target, gift cards), nice hand cream, or a cute insulated mug with some tea or coffee. A heartfelt card is also much appreciated!” -Meghan

“As a teacher, gift cards are the most appreciated! School supplies are most teachers’ least favorite gift unless it’s Papermate Flair Markers (in pretty colors) or Mr. Sketch markers (for elementary school teachers). Please no more coffee mugs, lotions, mini hand sanitizers. LOL Tervis tumbler cups, Amazon gift cards or Target gift cards are the bomb too! Restaurant cards tend to stick around for years for me. OK, I’m done!”

“As a teacher, this isn’t trying to sound snooty or selfish, but gift cards are ALWAYS appreciated! While a cute Pinterest-esque mug is adorable, 20 other parents are thinking the same thing. You only need so many mugs! 😉 ”

“The Scout Bagette bag has a square bottom so it accommodates a lot inside. It also has 2 different length handles -short or long to carry on the shoulder. I have several of these in the same pattern so when we travel I know what I’ve stored in them that is important medical items for our daughter. I also use them for groceries or carrying books and toys into church. Great price and available on Amazon, of course!” -DrivingMissDesi
