Witch’s Brew Coffee Mug
If your teacher is like me, they might need a little kick in the morning to help jumpstart their day. A witch’s brew coffee mug is the ideal gift for the coffee or tea drinker. Choose a mug adorned with a witch, cauldron, or spooky Halloween quotes. Pair it with some gourmet coffee beans or a selection of herbal teas for a delightful morning ritual. And, if he or she doesn’t want to take a drink from the “witch’s brew”, he can use the coffee mug as decoration.
Halloween Scented Candles
Help your teacher create a spooky atmosphere at home or even in their classrooms with Halloween-scented candles. Scents like pumpkin spice, cinnamon, and apple cider can set the perfect ambiance for the season.
And, although these are listed as Halloween scents, they are also synonymous with fall. These scents can be used after the Halloween holiday or even before. Truth…I love scented candles! These are some of my favorite things for all seasons. But, the scent of pumpkin let’s me know that it’s time for Halloween and time for fall.

Personalized Halloween Tote Bag
I am a sucker for a good tote bag. A personalized Halloween tote bag is a thoughtful and practical gift. Your teacher can use it to carry books, papers, and supplies to and from school. Choose a spooky design and add your teacher’s name for a personal touch.
If you can’t find one at a store, you or your child can paint Halloween pictures on a plain colored tote bag to make it extra special. You can also opt to purchase a cloth “Trick or Treat” bag that can be used over and over. You can even fill the tote with some much need school supplies like preschool writing tablets, crayons, hand sanitizer, pencils, or disinfectant wipes.
Cauldron of Candy
What is Halloween without candy? Give your teacher friend some sweet treats in a cute cauldron that your child and/or you can make at home. The cauldron doesn’t have to be composed of just candy. You can fill it with things the teacher can use every day like pens, pencils, erasers, and note pads.

Plus, plants help to liven up any classroom. They no only provide some much needed oxygen, but they can be calming and therapeutic.

A Halloween-themed tumbler can keep drinks hot or cold during long days at school. Choose one with ghosts, bats, or other spooky motifs. Add an extra layer of thoughtfulness by filling it with candy or a personal note.
Halloween Recipe Book
Okay, this one is probably not the one for me since I don’t cook, but many teachers do. So, how about “crafting” a Halloween recipe book filled with delicious and spooky treats. Include recipes for pumpkin spice cookies, caramel apples, and other Halloween favorites. And, if you are not a stickery for finding those Halloween recipes, you can purchase your favorite teacher a store-bought cookbook. Your teacher can enjoy trying these recipes during the season.
Halloween-Themed Hand Sanitizers
We have all learned the importance of hand sanitizer. And, this handy-dandy product can become a great gift for teachers. It is practical and timely. So, grab some Halloween-themed hand sanitizers to gift the teacher in your life. Look for spooky scents or packages with cute Halloween designs.

Your teacher can use it to reflect on the things they’re grateful for and document their journey throughout the school year. Personalize it with their name or an inspiring Halloween quote.
Fall leaf scrapbook
Although a leaf scrapbook doesn’t scream Halloween, it is a great gift for this particular holiday. You and your child can use leaves that you have collected while on your nature walk or some that may have fallen in your yard. If you don’t really want to use real leaves or you think this is too big of a project for your younger child, you can let them make the scrapbook using coloring pages of leaves.
Halloween DVDs
A teacher will be excited to receive some kid friendly Halloween DVDs. These can be shown at the end of class or during the class Halloween party.
