1. Jar of Sharpies & Printable

Everyone loves the gift of color, especially teachers who probably still use pens and markers more than any other profession these days. If you plan it correctly, you can hit up office supply stores that put all their back to school supplies on sale early. You can pick up large packs of sharpies for very cheap, and find these small mason jars for about $2. Then print your own cute note and you have a functional and much appreciated teacher got for the new year.

2. Mint Condition Tin

Sometimes teachers just need a mint and a little pick me up, especially during the first few days of a new school year. This little tin of mints will hit the spot, and is relatively simple. Just pick up a plain tin, decorate with washi tape, paint, stickers or craft paper and fill with mints. The printable is free if you have a printer and paper at home!
