5 FREE PRINTABLE Back to School Gift Ideas for Teachers!!

Teachers went back to school this week and it has been completely craaaazaaay.

First of all, I need to tell y’all some news!  I am NOT teaching my sweet little 2-year-olds this year!  Through a wonderful series of events, the Lord dropped a new position at our preschool into my lap.

I am now the Preschool Administrative Assistant!  I cannot even begin to tell you how excited I am about this job!  I absolutely love to bless and serve families and this new role gives me many more opportunities to do that.  On top of caring for the preschool wing, I will also have several other responsibilities that will keep me very busy and still occasionally in the classroom – which obviously is very dear to me!  I will be the PK2 and PK3 library teacher as well as coordinator for a monthly chapel service.

So don’t worry!  I will still have lots of fun ideas to share with you here! 🙂

Like today!  I wanted to do a little something for our preschool teachers every day during our teacher work week.  Because I had to buy multiple gifts, I had to make sure that the items were under $1.50 each.

Sounds impossible, but would you believe I DID IT?!  WOOTWOOT!

Check out what my girls are receiving as they prepare to welcome back all of our precious students…back to school teacher gift

I found these orange candles at IKEA for $1.50.  They smell UH-MAZING.  If you don’t have an IKEA near you, just pair this FREE Printable tag with an actual orange fruit or mandarin.

I found a pack of 8 bags of popcorn for about $4.  Such a healthy, easy snack!

*Click HERE for your FREE Printable Just Popping By to Say Have a Great Year Tag!*back to school teacher gift5

I wanted to give each teacher a big bag of coffee grounds, but those ran about $5+ per bag.  I found these individual serving-size instant coffee packs at Target.  They were $4.99 for a box of 8.

*Click HERE for your FREE Printable Welcome Back to the Grind Tag!*back to school teacher gift3

These hand lotions were only $1.50 each – and I just love everything the eOs brand makes.

*Click HERE for your FREE Printable Wishing You a Smooth Year Tag!*back to school teacher gift4

And finally, every teacher needs a little chocolate to get them through the first week back!

*Click HERE for your FREE Printable Hope You Enjoyed Your Break Tag!*

I have been sneaking these goodies onto each teacher’s desk each morning.  It’s fun playing the magical preschool hallway fairy!

I will be back soon with some more Back to School posts for you!

Joyfully,

Julie 🙂

  • I went to church today. It was so good and so needed. I haven’t been in weeks. It’s funny how I let myself get comfortable with that. I tell myself it’s easier to just watch church at home online. Which is not true because basically every time I do that the children start a wrestling match in the living room while I am trying to listen to the sermon. Or the baby poops during the opening song. Or someone is inevitably injured. But I tell myself how nice it was to not wake up early. How lovely to stay in

  • We got fancy last night for our neighbor’s wedding. ‍♂️The wedding was about an hour drive away, so we had lots of time for car conversations without kids. This usually means that I vomit all the stuff I have been trying to process on my own and Ryan swoops in with a few ultra wise one-liners that talk me off the ledge. Things I learned on the drive... 1. Stop watching the news. Our souls were not made for so much information. 2. Never stop dreaming. Even if your circumstances are hard and you feel all your creativity and hopes

  • When I had covid, this precious mama of mine called me every day. She dropped groceries on our doorstep (and even decorated them with Christmas lights ). She had food delivered to our house. She wore silly Christmas glasses and FaceTimed me to make me smile. She watched every single one of My ABC Truth Tree videos and liked them. She texted me every day to make sure I was taking medicine and drinking enough water. She prayed for me and reminded me that it would all be okay when I called her in tears on Christmas Eve worried that

  • It’s hard to believe that 17 years ago I slept through my alarm, set my veil on fire, had 9 precious flower girls walk down the aisle before me, and we made a covenant before God that we would love and serve each other forever. We don’t do it perfectly, but, by God’s grace, we keep showing up. And he never fails to make me laugh. Happy Anniversary to the best man I know! . Photo Credit >> @heatherholtphoto ✨

  • You know it’s family picture day when I put on lipstick, no one wants to wear the outfits I carefully picked out, and there’s a 100% chance of rain! So thankful for @heatherholtphoto and her expert abilities to capture what feels like a mess and make it into something beautiful. That’s some Gospel inspiration right there. Here’s to a 2020 Christmas card!
