Vellabox Candle Subscription 

Teachers can be a little difficult to buy for, especially if you don’t know them well. A Vellabox candle subscription can be enjoyed all year round and everyone loves candles! Subscriptions start at only $10 a month and includes an all-natural candle (plus a surprise gift) each month.

Their gift packages can be purchased for 3,6, or 12 month periods.

 

Handwritten Jewelry from HeidiJHale Designs 

If you know your teacher well, this line of handwritten jewelry from HeidiJHale Designs is perfect.

They have some great styles of jewelry to choose from so you can really find something that fits the woman you love.

Once you choose your jewelry, upload a picture of your handwritten message. HeidiJHale Designs will transfer that message onto your jewelry and create something really one-of-a-kind. A gift certificate for this would be great for the teachers on your list.

 

Germ X Omnipod™ Hand Hygiene System 

Hand sanitizer might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of holiday gift ideas but I don’t know a single teacher who has time to get sick (or deal with sick kids).

The new Germ–X Omnipod™ Hand Hygiene System is the perfect way to fight germs this holiday season (and beyond) and is a must-have in any home.

Teachers can install this right by their classroom door and teach the kids to use the Germ X Omnipod™ when the enter and before the leave the room to cut down on germs!

You’ll cut down on germs and have a good shot at fewer sick days.

 

The Fringe Hours 

Teachers pour so much of themselves into our children. Let them know that it’s ok to take time for themselves.

In The Fringe Hours, Jessica Turner shares her secrets for taking time to pamper yourself in whatever way fills you up. Teachers are all constantly filling others needs and often never taking some much needed time for themselves.

Give a teacher permission to take time for herself! Give them this book!
