Best Gifts for...Teachers!

Giving teachers a gift for Christmas is a great way to show that you appreciate what they’re doing for your child. Let them know that you appreciate the world too by buying them a Fair Trade Christmas gift.

Notebooks are always useful for busy teachers who need to record schedules, ideas, and other important things. The multicoloured notebooks which we carry from Bangladesh will brighten up their day and become a personal ideas book.

Another great idea is to give your teacher one of our inspiring “How to…” posters. They have phrases describing how to build a community, a global community, hot to stop global warming, and how to go organic! Come in and read them, your teacher would really appreciate all of the thought which was put into getting this gift.

For a little gift that really says teacher, we have beautifully carved onyx apple paper weights. Give an apple that will stay with them forever. Made in Pakistan by the Dominion Traders, each apple is very individual in the colours which are present in it.

Another great idea of two gifts in one, is giving one of our Himalayan tea purses. Made from Himalayan bushes in Nepal, these bags of tea come in a beautifully woven purse which would be great for any female teacher.

Our wide variety of ornaments could also make beautiful additions to your teacher’s Christmas tree and each tell their own, personal stories.

If you’re still stuck, giving a gift card from Ten Thousand Villages is a great way of saying Happy Holidays and identifying that your are conscious about our world.
