Gift Guide: The Talented Teacher

christmas holiday gifts for teachers

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.
