It’s that time of year again, the classrooms are winding down, the stationery is running low, and teachers everywhere are counting the sleeps ‘til holidays. If you’re looking for a way to say a big thank you to the people who’ve been shaping little minds (and surviving school excursions), we’ve got you covered.
Here at Silly Fox Studios, we’ve put together a few of our favourite teacher gift ideas , each one custom-made, heartfelt, and just the right amount of fun. Whether your teacher is the sentimental type or the “just give me cheese and coffee” type, you’ll find something that makes them smile.
For the teacher who takes pride in their space — our 3D Classroom Signs are a standout. Each 300mm circle is layered with the teacher’s name in raised lettering and customised to match their style. Perfect for the classroom door, their desk, or that Pinterest-worthy wall they’ve been curating all year.
Why they’ll love it: It’s personal, bold, and built to last, just like a great teacher.
A classic for a reason. These engraved wooden plant stakes pair beautifully with a pot of greenery (or even a cheeky succulent). Each one is personalised with your teacher’s name and the message “Thank you for helping me grow.”
Why they’ll love it: It’s heartfelt, affordable, and adds a personal touch to any gift. Plus, it’s easy for the kids to help put together!
For the teacher who’s earned a little me-time.
Add their name and a custom message , like “A small thank you for your endless impact”, to a beautiful wooden board. You can bring your own board for engraving or let us supply one ready to gift.
Why they’ll love it: It’s thoughtful and practical. Perfect for winding down after a long term with a well-deserved glass of wine and some snacks.
Sweet and simple, just how we like it.
These jars feature an engraved wooden lid with messages like “How sweet it was to be taught by you” or “Thank you beary much for a great year.” Fill them with lollies, tea, or coffee beans for a personal, ready-to-gift treat.
Why they’ll love it: It’s personal, reusable, and easy to fill with their favourites. (Bonus points for homemade fudge inside.)
For a gift that shines as bright as they do.
This layered wooden star is engraved with the message “A teacher is a star who shows others how to shine” and finished with delicate leaves and a hot-chocolate cup detail, because teachers deserve a little cosy magic too.
Why they’ll love it: It’s heartfelt, festive, and something they can treasure year after year.
