Large Totes & Rolling Bags for End of Year Gifts for Teachers


Teachers are ALWAYS carrying around books, papers, laptops or tablets, pens, extra snacks, on and on!

That’s why the first end of the year gift idea is a dependable rolling bag. Not only is it great for the classroom, but she’ll appreciate it when traveling.

Here’s the same bag in black that I have in my classroom.

I have gotten so many compliments from this bag. I purchased it fours years ago and it is still going strong!

Plus, it’s sturdy enough to hold my MacBook, lesson plan materials, and a few extra things I need each week.


You also can’t go wrong with this large tote bag that your favorite teacher can use to hold so many things.

Plus it comes in several different colors with different fun quotes, which makes it a favorite among many teachers.

Large Weekender Tote Bag


In addition to the bags above, teachers would love a larger tote bag that works in and outside the classrom.

So, I highly recommend any of the beautiful styles offered in this bag collection.


Not only do these larger totes have several functional pockets, but they also have a beautiful floral design inside.

I know so many teacher friends who would love this for their end of the year gift.

Technology Gadgets for Your End of the Year Teacher Gift

End of Year gifts for teachers


In addition to totes and rolling bags, some teachers also love technology gadgets for their end of the year gifts.

My mom bought me an Echo Dot for Christmas a few years ago, and I’ve used it in my classroom and home ever since.

Plus, it makes a great gift for all teachers; no matter what grade level.

If you’re shopping for a tech-savvy teacher, you’ll enjoy this full list of other tech gadget gifts for teachers.

Laptop Stand Riser


With the rise of online teaching and working from home, it seems that every teacher needs tech accessories now.

Even for those who have returned to in-person teaching, tech gadgets like this laptop stand riser make a huge difference.




This laptop stand riser is compatible with most MacBooks and laptops, so size shouldn’t be an issue for your favorite teacher.

Plus, it comes in other colors besides black. The height is adjustable and pretty easy to use.

Classroom Doorbell / Zingers Attention Bell


Technology presents can also include items teachers will use directly with students.

For instance, have you heard of classroom doorbells or buzzers that teachers use for learning games?

If not, trust me, we teachers LOVE these things!

They keep students engaged not only with learning, but they are also helpful as classroom management tools.

Since most teachers spend a lot of money from their own pockets buying supplies for their classrooms, we really appreciate items like this given to us.


Practical End of Year Gifts Teachers Can Use In the Classroom


Speaking of items for the classroom, another category that makes excellent end of year gifts for teachers is what I call the “Classroom-Goodies-Stockpile” list.

Basically–cute and functional gifts that teachers can use in the classroom.

These examples will get the ball rolling for you.

This 10-Slot Wall Mounted Metal Dry Erase Marker and Eraser Holder Rack that neatly keeps all our lovely markers works well for teachers in any grade level.

It really helps to keep everything organized around our whiteboard or even on our small group teaching table.

Another functional gift idea is this Gold Metal Hanging Desk Organizer, which also comes in Rose Gold.

This teacher gift may help save time grading student work because it’s so quick and easy to give feedback.

Coffee Mugs, Wine Glasses, and Tumblers For Your End of Year Teacher Gifts



It may seem like giving a cup for a gift isn’t that special, but it depends on the cup!

Fun teacher cups make great gifts because:

  • they can be customized
  • cups are practical
  • you can find one for any teacher on your list.

Check out these picks for your favorite teacher.


You gotta admit that this Funny Wine Tumbler for Teachers made you smile! Even if the teacher you’re shopping for doesn’t drink wine, he or she can use this cup for other drinks.

This brand offers different quotes so you can choose the best one for your teacher gift.


These Teacher Coffee Mug / Wine Glass cups also make funny end of year gifts for teachers.

And finally, you can step up your gift-bottle-game with a 24-ounce Infused Water Bottle as a fun teacher gift.

Not only is it great for teachers who want to stay healthy, but it’s perfect to have right before those hot summer days that are right around the corner.

S’well Stainless Steel Water Bottle


Speaking of being healthy, the new S’well line of water bottles from Erin Condren make gorgeous gifts for teachers.

These aren’t your cheap, run-of-the-mill plastic bottles that will need replacing halfway through a school year.



My favorite thing about this water bottle is how slender it is, which makes it easy to fit into my bag for field trips or just being on the go.

Each bottle is BPA free and they are just really cute!

End of the Year Teacher Jewelry Gifts

Before you fly past this category with the assumption that these gifts are too expensive, pump your breaks and hear me out.

First of all, teacher jewelry gifts don’t have to break the bank. This list offers affordable options; affordable that isn’t cheap!

Secondly, some of these shiny trinkets can be used as accessories for other things teachers use often like purse clips and keychains.

The first teacher “jewelry” gift idea works for keychains, teacher bag accessory, or a charm for a bracelet.


This Apple Teacher Keychain also works for:

  • Teacher Appreciation Gift
  • Birthday Present for Teachers
  • Christmas Gift
  • End of the Year Teacher Gift

Another keychain option has a fun pop of turquoise with a memorable quote. This “It-Takes-A-Big-Heart-To-Shape-Little-Minds” charm also has a scripture reference on the back.

Who says male teachers can’t be stylish at work?

This Braided Leather bracelet for Men comes in different sizes and colors, so it definitely had to make the list of end of year gifts for teachers! (that they’ll actually love and use)


Teacher Inspirational Bracelets


In addition to the jewelry gift options above, these inspirational charm bracelets for teachers make wonderful gifts any time of the year.

I have each bracelet in this set and here are the things I absolutely love about them:

  • They wrap easily around tiny wrists, but can also be loosened to fit larger wrists.
  • Each bracelet can also be worn as a necklace: two-in-one jewelry option.
  • The packaging includes a tiny gift card with a beautiful saying, so you have a nice note already available.

Not only are they stackable, but their themes are very sentimental. You can choose between the “Love is Golden,” “Gold Star,” “Renew,” and “Believe” messages.

I adore my bracelets and have gotten many compliments on them.
