These high-quality, personalized sacks are a modern take on the old-school lunchbox, featuring super-cute patterns— elephants! pineapples! Greek keys!—that bring a bit of fun to her lunch period.

She’ll absolutely adore a personalized clipboard featuring her monogram and a pretty striped or marbled design. These cute clipboards help teachers stay organized when taking attendance, doing lesson plans and keeping track of the class.

5. A Monogrammed Bracelet—Teachers inspire us every day, so why not thank them with an inspirational gift? Our inspirational bracelets feature uplifting messages around the band portion, plus a monogrammed charm that dangles. We have etched this bracelet with the famous quote “She Believed She Could, So She Did” from one of R.S. Grey’s popular novels, so it’s perfect for the bookish teacher who loves to read. Any piece of personalized jewelry would make a truly sweet and thoughtful gift for the educator who gives all she has.

6. A Monogrammed Agenda Cover—Teachers live and die by their planners. It’s what helps them remember assignments, parent-teacher conferences and other important facets of the job. Thus, our monogrammed agenda cover is one of the most practical customized teacher gifts out there. It’s made of soft microleather and can be ordered with her monogram so that everyone knows to whom it belongs. Choose from either soft pink or rich brown to tailor it to her personality.

7. A Monogrammed Travel Mug—Teachers love coffee. How do you think they get it all done? To ensure that she enjoys her a.m. cup of java in style, give her a personalized travel mug in a pattern that showcases her personality. These mugs come in three trendy prints—striped, marbled and floral—so you’ll definitely find a style that makes her the envy of the teacher’s lounge.

8. A Monogrammed Notebook—Bye-bye boring spiral notebooks! If you really want to surprise her with a gift that’s unique, practical and right up her alley, then go for the personalized notebook.
