Make Back to School a Party (for Teachers, Too!)

Whether it’s the first day of school or just any regular Tuesday in October, we think teachers always deserve a lil extra sparkle. They’re the real MVPs, after all — so why not show them some love with gifts that are equal parts fun and functional?

We've rounded up 5 fun gift ideas that we know your teachers will love! Making the first day (and every day after) feel like a celebration!

1. A Personalized Clipboard

Teachers live by their lists — so give them a cute place to keep them! A personalized clipboard isn’t just handy for grading papers and planning lessons, it’s also a chic desk accessory they’ll use all year long. And bonus points because this includes a little bit of a DIY, making it extra special and meaningful to your Teacher!

 

We used our loved Confetti Clipboard + Stick to it Vinyl Stickers to make ours. And trust us... the Teachers loved the TikTok tutorial we shared!

2. Shoe Charms That Show Personality

Boring shoes are so last year! Help your favorite teacher jazz up their classroom footwear with a set of playful shoe charms. From bows to shining stars, this is fun way for anyone to show a little personality (and get a smile from their students every time they look down).

We've bundled up all our favorite Shoe Charms for you to easily shop, divvy them out to all your teachers, and maybe... even keep a pair for yourself! 😉

 

3. A Trinket Tray + Earrings Combo

Keep their desk and their style organized! This one gets you an A+ in gifting! The Packed Party "Always Write" Trinket Tray does way more than just collect paper clips and push pins, it features an adorable earring set, making it the perfect way to show some love, especially for your favorite teacher. Featuring a ceramic tray with a playful notebook paper print and the phrase “Always Write,” it’s paired with the cutest apple-shaped enamel earrings, each with a sparkling gemstone core. Whether it's a desk accessory, jewelry catch-all, or just a little pick-me-up, this set earns extra credit in charm and thoughtfulness. 

4. A Pencil Pouch (That’s Way More Than a Pencil Pouch)

Sure, it can hold pens and markers, but these incredible handy zip pouches are the ultimate multitasker. Teachers can use it as a makeup bag, stash emergency snacks (we see you, 3rd period hangries), or even rock it as a clutch for happy hour! The possibilites are endless just like the amount of pouches us girlies aim to own. 

 

5. Fun Accessories: Glasses, Headband & Claw Clip

Because why shouldn’t getting ready for work also feel like getting ready for the ultimate back to school bash? Everyday calls for a celebration after all! Our playful pencil-shaped accessories — from glasses to a headband to a claw clip — add instant joy to any day of the year! Hello spirit week! Anytime your teacher wants to stand out in the hallway, they'll grab for these fun accessories and think of you!

(And yes, they make the best teacher TikToks even more iconic.)
