One of my favorite gifts for my kids’ teachers is a gift card. I’ve always heard teachers love gift cards over anything else, so that’s what I stick with.  Sometimes it’s a fun one like an iTunes gift card or restaurant or movie gift card for a treat for themselves and sometimes it’s just a Visa gift card so they can get what they need for themselves or their classroom.
You can do a one-stop shop at Walmart’s Holiday gift card display for just about anyone. I’ve seen these displays all over Walmart from the front of the store all the way back near electronics. Plus, they have a TON of gift cards to choose from, and some even have special offers.
If you’re worried they seem too impersonal, it’s really easy to personalize them with a little added gift or two. Here’s how I like to make them special for my kids’ teachers:
I like to put together a cute little gift each Christmas for my kids’ teachers to show my appreciation to them. It always starts with a gift card or two, and then I try to add a few things they might like. This year we’re making “mini Christmas stockings” by using a pair of Christmas socks as the stockings and adding some candy treats and iTunes gift cards.
To create the mini stockings, I just found some cute fuzzy socks that were Christmas themed over near the pharmacy at Walmart. They were also aloe infused, too! Then, I tucked into the socks some of the movie theater style candies — one in each sock. Next, I added a gift card on top of each candy. It’s cute and so easy!
Then, to top it off, I made some cute Little Elf printable gift tags to add to each stocking set for my kids to sign their name. You can use these, too! Click the image above to download a PDF copy of my Little Elf Printable.
That’s all there is to it for these easy gifts! If you’re looking for more ideas, check out these other gift card gift ideas!

I think those cards with a cute little stocking is a great gift and should be well appreciated. The gift cards are perfect because they get whatever they want.
Oh this is such a lovely idea! I would love to give each of my students this for Christmas if I have enough time to put everything together! It’s going to make anyone smile, for sure!
These are a great! Such an easy and fun gift idea! They’d be perfect for my daughter’s student teachers.
This is such a cute way to present gift cards. It gave me the idea for my nieces and nephews!
These definitely make the perfect stocking stuffers! I need to pick up a few so thanks for the reminder.
Gift cards are the way to go, when you’re undecided what to get someone! I love the DIY mini stockings!
I love this idea! I would totally do this for a christmas gift for a teacher. Gift cards are best for people you don’t know well but I hate just handing over paper dressing it up, is so much better.
That is a really great way to give out gift cards. I think we need to do one for my kid’s teacher as well. Thanks for the idea!
Gift cards are just THE BEST!!! I am all about WHOLE FOODS gift cards! THAT IS ALL I NEED – haha!
Great ideas! We do a lot of candy, chapsticks, socks and other small little knick knacks! Always so much fun!
These are so cute! I like the idea of using socks and adding in a gift card. I always end up getting gift cards for my older nieces and nephews because it is hard buying for teens lol
These are just adorable! I am using this idea for teacher gifts!
Great ideas. My teen asked for gift cards in his stocking so I am going to try to pick up the ones hes looking for. I think they are perfect for stockings!
Forget stocking, my husband would take this as a straight up, under the tree present. He LOVES Nerds candies and he always wants new movies on iTunes.
You really can’t go wrong with warm, fuzzy socks and an iTunes gift card. They are something everyone can use and love all season long and beyond.
How cute is this? I love this and would love to get a gift card to choose a great present that I would need and use.
