4. For the teacher who eats at their desk: A bento box
Bringing lunch to work can be a struggle, especially when you're packing things like salads or sandwiches that are best served cold. Enter the Cool Gear Expandable lunch box, ranked as our favorite bento box for its built-in freezer tray and convenient compartments (including a tiny salad dressing bottle!) that make packing snacks and meals a delight.
5. For the teacher who deserves some zen: An essential oil diffuser
We love essential oil diffusers to help us unwind after a long day—or just for making a workspace more comfortable—thanks to the benefits of aromatherapy. Treat your teacher to some much needed self-care with the Asakuki Oil Diffuser, which we love for its even, quiet diffusing and beautiful design (which features built-in LEDs!).
6. For the coffee-loving teacher: A cold brew maker
Getting up early enough for teaching little ones is already a struggle; a complicated coffee making routine should not take up any extra time. Luckily, our favorite cold brew maker—the Takeya cold brew pitcher—can be made in large batches ahead of time, making it the perfect way to consume caffeine as an early-rising teacher.
7. For the teacher who could use some back-up: An Echo Dot
This smart little speaker can be used by teachers both inside and outside the classroom. The 5th generation Echo Dot is our favorite to date, thanks to its fantastic audio quality and convenient tap controls. It's great for completing hands-free commands for things like music, timers and language translations. Plus, it doubles as a Wi-Fi extender for spotty classrooms.
8. For the teacher that deserves to unwind: A weighted robe
What could be better than coming home from work after a long day and cozying up on the couch in a plush robe? Doing all that in a weighted robe! When we tried Gravity's terrycloth weighted robe, we loved the soft and fluffy feel and spacious pockets. It also offers just the right amount of weight for relaxation and better sleep without feeling suffocating.
9. For the teacher with a sweet tooth: A box of Raaka chocolates
We can't get enough of Raaka's unroasted dark chocolate bars. If your teacher is a chocolate lover, they would love indulging in this library box of Raaka bars. It features unique flavors like Green Tea Crunch, Maple & Nibs and Bourbon Cask Aged. Plus each bar is free of common allergens like gluten, soy and dairy, so you can gift it worry-free.
10. For any teacher: A gift card
Don't want to gamble on a gift they may not love (or might already own)? A gift card is always a safe bet for teachers. Whether you opt for something personal (think Starbucks or Netflix) or want to gift them flexibility (think Amazon or Visa) gift cards are an easy way to show gratitude. Some can even be delivered via email to avoid shipping costs and gift wrapping.
