Favorite School Supplies & Items

As the summer break draws to a close and the school bells start to chime, it's the perfect time to show our gratitude to those incredible teachers who tirelessly nurture & inspire our children. A heartfelt gesture goes a long way, & what better way to express your appreciation than with thoughtful and personalized teacher gifts? After polling a handful of teacher friends on what they’d love to receive as gifts, every teacher friend mentioned that they love receiving personalized stationery. So….after many requests, I finally created customized notecards with a blue and white gingham pattern & school vignette.

If customized presents aren’t your thing, no worries - I’ve put together the ultimate guide to the perfect back-to-school gifts that are sure to start the school year off on a sweet note.

From customized stationery to favorite markers for grading papers, these products are perfect for any teacher in any grade! If you have any additional items that the teachers in your life love, please feel free to share them!


These are a few fun items that my teacher friends have received for back-to-school & personally love:

  • A Teachers Pay Teachers gift card. It’s an online website many teachers use for resources & materials!

  • An Amazon gift card to go towards items like a paper cutter, laminator, or high-quality pencil sharpener.

  • These are fun markers to use for checking papers.

  • These flair pens for grading papers.

  • A 12-pack of their favorite drink + a salty & sweet treat!

  • One of my favorite hacks: go to Dollar Tree for fillers. Their back-to-school is out now, & you can get cute buckets, pencils, stickers, etc.!

  • Our incredible babysitter is now a teacher, & she loves getting her clothes for teaching at Gap - this would be such a thoughtful gift!

  • Last but not least, treat your teachers to this beautiful set of monogrammed stationery. I can’t tell you how many teachers have told me how much they love having these customized cards that they use on a regular basis!
