The end of the school year is just around the corner, so we’re looking forward to seeing the handmade Teacher gifts that Cricut members are making to say thank you. In the meantime, if you’re looking for teacher gift ideas we’ve got you! Here, we’ve rounded up some quick ideas for meaningful teacher gifts that don’t have to be expensive or elaborate.
London primary school teacher, and friend of Cricut, Sophia Wilson, wants to reassure parents that there are no expectations from teachers. She said: “The last thing teachers want is families feeling the pressure to buy something. Spending time teaching your children, and seeing them develop is reward enough, it’s our job! However, if you really do want to bring in a small card or gift, there is nothing better than something that is handmade or personalised. We really appreciate the thought that goes into that.”
With the fast-approaching school holidays in mind, here is a round up of fun teacher gift ideas. They can all be made in Cricut Design Space and show how much you appreciate your teacher:
Swap Expensive Gifts for a Personalised Card

Teacher Gift Ideas With a Spa Vibe
After the hustle and bustle of school life, relaxing during the summer break must be a priority. Help your favourite teacher wind down, here are some great gifts that will make them chill.
You can make both of these projects in Design Space, right here: Spa Vibe Candles – Teacher Cosmetics Bags.
Planting Seeds That Grow Forever
A small plant can bring joy every day. What’s more, by personalising the pot with your Cricut machine, you can make the gift extra special and unique for your child’s teacher. An inspiring quote like “Thank you for helping me grow” or their favourite book/film quote is a nice extra personal touch. You can find these super ideas in Design Space by clicking here for the project or here to see more similar designs.
With the Cricut Design Space app, you can even turn your child’s handwriting or drawings into images. Then you can send to your machine to cut out the letters in vinyl. To do this, simply take a photo of the handwriting (top down), or scan it if you have a scanner. Upload the image or photo to the app and cut in your chosen vinyl or Iron-on. With this personalised touch you can create one of a kind gifts that truly stand out. Why not ask your child to draw a picture of their teacher or write a special message? This can then be cut and applied to any number of gifts. With permanent vinyl, these individual designs will last a lifetime!
This project was created by one of our marketing team using her son’s handwriting, and is a great example of how effective it can be.
