You know yourself better than anyone, but if you are like me, when it comes to making a holiday wish list, you draw a blank. Hopefully this teacher by type brainstorm will help with both giving and receiving!

1. The Imaginative Instructor

For the creative type who enjoys dreaming up innovative lessons:

This Winter Poetry Pack will provide hours of imaginative play for both students and teachers alike!

The book Educating Esmé: Diary of a Teacher’s First Year will validate their creative spirit and provide a much needed comic relief for when their big ideas turn into even bigger messes!

2. The Pinterest Perfect Professor

For the teacher who prides his or herself in having a beautifully adorned classroom:

These Winter Figurative Language Posters will add beauty and function all winter long!

This $10 label maker is sure to delight educators who like their things just so!

3. The Stressed Schoolteacher  

For stressed-out teachers who are in need of a little self-care

This Fast and Focused Feedback Bundle will shave hours off of their grading time. The reviews speak volumes! 8-12 Edition / 4-7 Edition

I personally subscribe to the Teacher Care Crate and love it! You can do a single order for a teacher in need of more self-care in their lives.

4. The Erudite Educator

For the bookish teacher who loves to read as much as they love to teach!

These Free Holiday Bookmarks that also make fun Zen doodle pages and these “Letters to a Book” prompts that help both teachers and students reflect on their latest read.

A literary-themed scent from The Soap Librarian (my favorite is “In the Library” bath soak) . You can find even more literary-themed gifts by visiting last year’s gift guide!

5. The Pet-loving Professional

For the pet-loving educator who thinks school would be a better place if fur babies were allowed:

This Ugly Holiday Sweater activity that features famous animal symbols in the examples (Poe and Harry Potter), but prompts students to design a tacky sweater for ANY character

This SUPER fun and interesting book that has been my most joyful read of the year! Writers and Their Pets: True Stories of Famous Authors and Their Animal Friends

For the impressive teacher you always go-to for technology help:

This Tiny House Design Project that works with any character or as a real-world tech assignment!

These podcast coloring notes that keep students engaged while listening!
