Take a break from the tired gift card or hot chocolate this year and check out these DIY teacher gifts to make or sell. Every year I struggle to find what to buy my kids’ teachers. You want to show how much you appreciate them but like everyone, you are shopping on a budget.
This year is even worse because I’m trying to skip a lot of stores and I really want to do my Christmas shopping early.
If you want to make your teacher gifts yourself but don’t want to give tacky, cheap stuff that will just be tossed, the ideas below are for you. They would make great hostess gifts too!
Side hustle idea: If you want to make some extra money for the holidays, consider making and selling some of these DIY teacher gifts.
