If you're thinking of getting your child's teacher yet another mug or scented candle, stop right there! Place them back on the shelf because — let's be honest — teachers need more than just caffeine and a good smelling candle to run a classroom.

Instead, why not gift them something that makes their room a real standout and helps kids feel ready to learn? From mood lighting to cool decor and flexible seating options, these fun, TikTok-approved teacher items will transform any classroom into an inviting space where students will love spending their day. 

My Magic Carpet Washable Rug

For teachers that want to add a cozy feel to a reading corner or give their students a soft place to sit during circle time, a rug is a must have. With kids come messes, but thanks to this washable rug, classrooms can be cozy with a comfortable, machine-washable rug.

Shelf Liner

For cabinets, shelves and bulletin boards that have seen better days, this adhesive shelf liner is a quick way for teachers to give the furniture in their classroom a facelift. They can completely transform the look of the worn and outdated furniture. When the school year ends, they can simply take the liner off without damaging the furniture. 

Temper & Co Removable Wallpaper

Still have more boring and bland space to cover? Try this fabulous line of peel and stick wallpaper that comes in so many beautiful colors and designs. This wallpaper is a great option (that won't damage walls) and can brighten dark and dreary spaces. 

Battery Powered Desk Lamp

The overhead lighting in classrooms can often be harsh. So, these small desk lamps are the perfect way to offer softer lighting in the classroom and allow teachers to create a relaxing environment as kids work. 

Wobble Stools

These stools allow movement while sitting, making them great for students who need extra stimulation to stay focused. Adjustable and portable, they fit easily in any classroom.

Twinkling Curtain Lights

Teachers love adding these twinkling lights to bulletin boards or reading corners for a cozy, inviting ambiance. The soft lighting is perfect for a calm classroom environment.

Classroom Doorbell

Perfect for classroom transitions and for getting students' attention, this wireless doorbell is a creative way to help kids move from one activity to another and for teachers to let kids know what is coming next in a fun and creative way.

Stretchy Bands for Chairs

Stretchy bands are used in classrooms to help students focus and learn by allowing them to move their legs while sitting. These bands are quiet, easy to install, and fit on a variety of chairs. For this price, it's easy to get bands for all students. 

Crayon Sharpener

Every classroom has a pencil sharpener, but what about crayons? This electric sharpener is absolutely genius and allows kids and teachers to quickly sharpen crayons. No more tossing dull or broken crayons in the trash. Instead, just sharpen it and use it again!

Pushpin Magnets

These pushpin magnets work well on white boards and can easily be placed around the classroom so whenever a teacher needs to put something on the board for their students, all they need are these handy and cute magnets.
