Today, we’re talking all things teacher gifts! Teachers are deserving of every good gift there is — they spend countless hours teaching and loving children day in and day out, helping shape them and instilling a love of learning in our little ones. They are true angels on earth! 

While teachers always appreciate any gift given to them, we wanted to share some unique ideas with you today to make teachers feel special and known. If you have multiple children with multiple teachers to buy for, don’t worry! We have some easy gift ideas for you, too. The heart behind teacher gifts (and all gifts, really) is the sentiment.

Your feeds are likely filled with all kinds of Christmas inspiration for your home — from this year’s must-have decor to the ornament sets you “need” to buy, to the newest and trendiest ideas for making your home feel cozy during the holidays.

We think that there are few things better than giving a hostess gift when someone opens their home for the holidays — and it certainly doesn’t have to be anything elaborate. A simple gesture to thank a hostess for all they’ve done to prepare means so much. 

But other than arriving with a gift in hand, there are a few tips for being a gracious holiday guest that are good to keep in mind. Read our 5 Tips on Being a Gracious Holiday Guest here, and then be sure to read Tidings of Good Christmas Etiquette, too! Former White House Social Secretary Lea Berman shared

Truly what this season is all about! Today we are showing you how to make a donation in someone’s name or memory. If you’re looking for a gift for someone who has everything — this is it! 

Donating in Someone’s Name
