Whether it’s for your own professor or for your son or daughter’s school teacher, figuring out what to get the talented teacher in your life is always kind of tricky. (Or maybe it’s even your best friend who happens to be in front of the classroom!) Of course candles, crafts, and cookies are always a good idea, but if you’re looking to buy a great gift that’s not covered in apple motifs, look no further. For this particular gift guide, I went straight to the source. My best friend, Ellen, is an elementary school teacher in the Chicago suburbs so I asked her what’s on her holiday list this year, as well as her teaching must-haves.

Great picks! Hope one of your upcoming guides includes co-workers and bosses. I need some inexpensive ideas.
What a creative post! I have many teacher friends and never would have thought of this. So clever! And those Burberry boots are to die for…want them even if I’m not a teacher!
