Easy and Inexpensive Holiday Gifts for Your Students

Imagine this scenario.

You’re pulling up the calendar on your phone and you suddenly realize winter break is only a week away and you don’t have any holiday gifts for your students.

Immediately you feel your heart rate increase as you try to decide what to do.

Of course, you know there is no rule that says you have to have a holiday gift for your students.

In fact, many teachers in your school choose not to and you don’t judge them at all!

But, you want to. You’re just short on time and you don’t have any ideas.

Or a lot of extra money for that matter.

This situation happens ALL the time! So I asked the teachers in my Facebook group what they like to gift their students and I have compiled all of their ideas together!

This first suggestion was definitely a teacher favorite.

If you have time to order and wait for shipping, check out these personalized pencils. You can get a 3 pack for about a dollar!

Your students will love getting pencils with their names on them!

Other inexpensive and easy ideas for holiday gifts for your students:

Gel pens make a great holiday gift for students!
Older students would love to have gel pens to write with. There are many different kinds, including glitter gel pens. You can find these in MEGA multipacks on Amazon.

Mrs. Bacon shared this idea: I bought a bulk package of kid-sized gloves. Inside each bag is a pair of gloves, a packet of hot chocolate, and a candy cane sticking out.

Other ideas that can help save money:

  • Ask friends and family if they would like to adopt a student. You can make a list of books or simple toys and share that wishlist with each person.
  • Make an Amazon wishlist of items for your class. Share the wishlist with your friends and family and see if any of them would like to help fund the class gifts!
  • Make homemade personalized bookmarks out of cardstock for your students.
  • Give students a holiday card with a personal handwritten note.
  • Make class coupons for rewards. (No homework, wear a hat, bring a show & tell item, bring your favorite game for indoor recess, etc…)

Hope these ideas can help! What do you like to gift your students?
