Celebrate the holidays with Bachelor Nation!

The holiday season is officially here, and as you shop for gifts for your loved ones, family, and friends, don’t forget about the teachers in your life!

Teachers are some of the hardest-working people in the world and they give so much of themselves to their students.

The past couple years have been particularly challenging as educators have navigated teaching amid a global pandemic, so a holiday gift is a great way to show your appreciation for all that they do.

And if you aren’t sure what to get for your favorite teacher, Bachelorette and fifth-grade teacher Michelle Young has you covered!

She came up with a list of five items teachers will love exclusively for BachelorNation.com, plus a few bonus items in case you want to go the extra mile.

1. Cricut Maker: Teachers have likely been eyeing the Cricut products for a while now. They can be used for so many things, from decorations, personalizations, and signage to organization and so much more. They can cut custom shapes, letters, numbers, designs, and more on everything from cardstock, vinyl, and iron-on to thicker materials like leather. The only downside is that it’s an investment for teachers who already put so much of their own money into their classrooms. Getting a teacher a Cricut Maker would be the ultimate holiday gift!

2. Expo Markers: Teachers know that you can never have too many Expo Dry Erase Markers! We’re always running out and needing to buy new ones so often adds up. Getting the teachers in your life some Expo Markers will always be a hit during the holidays or any time of year!

3. Exercise Ball Chairs: You know those big exercise balls? Imagine that combined with a chair, and believe it or not, this exists, and it makes the perfect addition to any classroom. Exercise ball chairs are a fun alternative chair that not only encourage good posture, but studies show that as children constantly move their body to maintain their balance on this moving seat, they are able to focus more easily. They are truly a win-win for both teachers and students and would make for a great holiday gift!

4. Electric Pencil Sharpeners: Some gifts stand the test of time and electric pencil sharpeners are definitely a gift welcome year after year. As teachers know, these things can break over time and it isn’t always possible to keep replacing them with money from our own pockets. So, electric pencil sharpeners are a great gift for any classroom!

5. Amazon Gift Card: While all gifts are appreciated, there’s nothing like being able to get exactly what you need! Amazon gift cards allow teachers to buy supplies they need for their classrooms without having to purchase the supplies themselves, which they regularly do.

In addition to these top five gift ideas, Michelle also shared some bonus ideas for teachers, like a day at the spa, a Total Wine gift card, or even a day off!
