All About My Teacher free Printable
I loveeee celebrating the people who pour so much into my daughter. Whether it's the first day of school, a birthday, Christmas, Teacher Appreciation Week, or the last day of school, I genuinely enjoy finding little ways to say thank you.
The only problem? I alwayssss, always, ALWAYS second-guess my gifts.
"Will they actually like this?"
"Do they even eat chocolate?"
I want every gift to feel thoughtful and personal, so over the years I've realized that having a really good teacher favorites sheet makes all the difference.
The ones we've received from school have always been SO helpful, but they usually only leave room for 1-2 favorite restaurants, snacks, or stores. By the middle of the year, I found myself running out of fresh ideas.
So this year I created my own.
This free printable gives teachers plenty of room to share multiple favorites so you'll have lots of gift ideas throughout the entire school year.
What's Included
This printable includes space for teachers to share things like:
Favorite restaurants
Sweet treats
Salty snacks
Favorite drinks
Favorite stores
Favorite colors
Hobbies & interests
Classroom supplies they always need
Things they have too much of
Gift card ideas
And lots more!
The best part? Once it's filled out, you can take a picture of it so it’s always on your phone when you’re out and about shopping for gifts.
I hope this printable helps make gift giving a little easier (and a lot more fun!).

My Favorite Way to Use It
I like to either take this sheet to open house or send it to school during the first week. Then whenever a birthday, holiday, Teacher Appreciation Week, or end-of-year celebration comes around, I already know exactly what they'll love. It takes the guesswork out of shopping and makes every gift feel a little more personal.

My daughter is in school for the first time ever - woohoo! She has some amazing teachers and I’m looking forward to giving them something for the holidays. My daughter didn’t start school at the beginning of the year so I’m unsure if they sent out anything like this to the parents (I’ve heard that some schools do) so I decided to make my own instead. If this one isn’t your style, you can buy similar ones on Etsy. I customized mine to include questions that I thought would be relevant for gifts that I might give throughout the entire school year. For example - scent is helpful if I ever decide to pair a gift card with a candle. Scents can be so polarizing so I didn’t want to give a vanilla scented candle to someone who hates vanilla, ya know?
After asking you guys on IG stories what teachers want most, the overwhelming answer is GIFT CARDS, so I made sure to ask questions that would allow me to choose the right store for each person. I’m also a crafty mom so I asked other things that would allow me to craft a potential future gift basket, personalize something, etc. The music question was purely to find out if anyone was a swiftie - haha!
I also know that a lot of teachers end up using their own money for school supplies so I added a classroom wishlist on there as well.
Lastly, I want to note two more things that I heard from teachers. First off, no more cups lol. Secondly, a hand written card is so meaningful so if dishing out extra money right now isn’t possible, remember the power of words. A simple card letting them know how much you appreciate them goes a long way.
The graphic is 300dpi 8.5” x 11” so perfect for printing on a standard size sheet of paper.
