Teachers take care of our kids each weekday, filling their brains with new knowledge and inspiring them to become more well-rounded, clever, kind individuals. And let’s face it… they don’t always get the thanks they deserve.

Whether you’re searching for gifts for a child’s elementary teacher, high school teacher, band director, art teacher or math tutor, the best gift is one that comes from the heart. A locally made gift for a teacher (including these gifts made in the PA Wilds) is more unique than one that comes from a big box store. Your handcrafted gift will stand out and show how much you care. And remember, when you shop local you also show PA Wilds entrepreneurs that you care too!

Before selecting a locally made gift for a teacher, think about their personality and what they might appreciate most. For a teacher with a sweet tooth, a candy made in the PA Wilds could be perfect. Or if you know how much your child’s teacher loves matching her earrings to each outfit, have your child help select a piece of jewelry. How about what to give a teacher who you don’t know much about? Almost anyone can appreciate a tote bag or a travel mug!

Check out these ideas for thoughtful gifts for teachers made in the PA Wilds.
