Whether you're showering a teacher at the end of the year, for Christmas, as you're heading back to school, for Valentine's Day, for teacher appreciation week or just to say THANK YOU, I have some super fun and UNIQUE teacher gift ideas for you.
Some of these I have given to teachers myself. Some I plan to give to teachers in the future. And some I think teachers just deserve because they are so incredibly amazing.
The best part is that all of these can be found on Amazon Prime for $30 or less - which means you don't have to do a ton of advance planning or spend massive amounts of money.
Woo hoo!

My Favorite Unique Teacher Gifts
Advice from My 80-Year-Old Self
This book is so amazing - SERIOUSLY amazing! My kids gave them to their teachers a few years ago. They pasted their school picture on the inside front cover and included a letter to their teachers thanking them for making it such a great year.
I have taken pages of this book and framed them throughout my house because it is seriously that amazing.
If you're not going to buy it for your favorite teacher, at least grab one for yourself.

Himalayan Salt Lamp Nightlights
If you haven't heard of these lights yet, then get ready to get excited. We have two of the regular sized Himalayan salt lamps, and I just bought the four-pack of nightlights to scatter throughout our house. Here's why they're so great:
- They produce a lovely, warm light that really warms up a space. Plus, they actually do work as nightlights which is a great bonus.
- I have no idea if this is true, but the Himalayan salt is supposed to naturally deodorize the air while also relieving stress. THAT sounds like something EVERY teacher needs to have on blast in their classroom, don't you think?
- They're pretty. The end.

Hanging Toiletry Bag
Listen, I said we were going for unique, okay? While we probably don't have it in the budget to send teacher on a vacation, you can at least supply her with the tools she'll need when she does go.
Or - some teachers might love keeping this in the classroom to freshen up during lunch periods or before parent conferences.

Several of my IRL friends are published in this book, and it's so incredibly good. It's funny and edgy and heartwarming and real.
This book is a thank you to the teachers who made a difference in our lives and in our children's lives.
This book includes stories from 39 different writers and includes stories like:
You Teach What?!?!
Being a Teacher Doesn't Make Me a Better Mother (But Being a Mother Makes Me a Better Teacher)

Catchall Tray
I swear I didn't pick this JUST because of the adorable alpacas. There are other adorable options too. But this catchall tray is just plain cute and functional. It would look great on teacher's desk - or at home.
