Teacher Gift Guide

As another term comes to an end, say thank you in style this Christmas with a gift they will genuinely love. From stylish notebooks and travel mugs to irresistible home fragrance and statement glassware, find something unique with our gift ideas for teachers.

And with Christmas gift lists getting longer each year, we’ve also considered different budgets. Explore thoughtful gifts under £15, as well as higher-priced gifts that make wonderful options for pooling funds as from the whole class.

It may seem like a cliché, but what teacher doesn’t adore a new mug? Whether it’s for their morning coffee to kick start their day, or their mid-afternoon pick-me-up, nothing beats taking a sip from a gorgeous cup, and especially one as well-crafted as Spode’s.

If they’re partial to a strong coffee, treat them to a set of Black Italian Espresso Cups. Ever so stylish with their monochrome twist on a heritage pattern, Black Italian is a perfect gift for male teachers and for those teachers who ooze sophistication.

A special mug, and perhaps one fit for a historian or pottery enthusiast, is Spode’s Queen Elizabeth II Commemorative Mug. Made in the heart of The Potteries, this limited-edition mug features a beautiful design to celebrate the life and reign of our late Queen. A unique gift that’s sure to stand out from the bottles of wine and boxes of chocolates.

The Creatures of Curiosity Travel Mug is perfect for making lunchtime duty more enjoyable. Featuring a pink silicone lid that contrasts spectacularly with the intriguing dark floral pattern, this travel mug will be talk of the staff room. Pair with the matching water bottle for the ultimate gift.

Treat them to a special something to spruce up their desk. These Morris & Co. Coasters not only look fabulous, but are wonderfully practical too. Featuring six different designs from Morris & Co.’s pattern archive, there will be one for each day of the week and a spare to keep at home. Or help to make those hours spent lesson planning a dream with a Creatures of Curiosity Notebook. Choose from four different designs, two different sizes, and lined or plain paper.

You can rarely go wrong with a candle or two, inviting them to enjoy an indulgent moment after a busy day. The Creatures of Curiosity Large Candle is filled with the sunset orchid and patchouli fragrance, featuring hints of lemon, bergamot, and jasmine. The ceramic vessel is decorated in florals and leopard print and finished with beautiful gold detailing. Once used, the pot can be used to store trinkets or as a pen pot.

For a fun, festive twist the Christmas Tree Nutcracker Candle Holder makes for a quirky, yet cute gift they won’t be able to resist. A wonderful addition to festivities, it’s the perfect piece to style on a shelf, mantelpiece, or even the Christmas dinner table.

Give a special thank you with a gift they wouldn’t think to treat themselves to. The Creatures of Curiosity Wine Glasses or Tumblers featuring indulgent gold embellishments will show them just how much their hard work is appreciated.

Add to their Christmas celebrations with the charming Christmas Tree Champagne Flutes. Wonderfully festive with the colourful tree design and gold touches, pair this gift with a bottle of something sparkling.
