Best Gift Ideas For Teacher Assistant
1. Hand Sanitizer
Being a teacher’s assistant means working with lots of different kids. And you know what that means – Germs. It means lots and lots of germs.
Help keep this girl as healthy as possible with hand sanitizer. This power mist hand sanitizer smells so good and kills all the germs.
These look good too and are travel-friendly.
2. Disinfecting Wipes
Here is one more thing to help make her space as germ-free as possible – disinfecting wipes.
It doesn't matter what brand you go with here because they all get the job done.
I always go for the biggest bang for my buck which usually means the off-brand ones.
3. Shower Steamers/Bath Bombs
Now that we got the germs out of the way, let’s move on to gifts that your teaching assistant will totally go nuts over.
First up are these shower steamers. They make the bathroom smell so good that she can fully relax after a long day of work.
I like these bath bombs too but the shower steamers are more realistic to use since I am pretty sure more ladies have time for a shower than a bath.
4. Sugar Body Scrub
It makes your skin so soft and smooth after just one use. And friend, it is under $10!
If you haven’t tried it, make sure you pick one up for yourself.
5. Lotion
I have been using it for years and love it for my sensitive and dry skin.
6. Yeti Tumbler
When it comes to keeping hot drinks hot for a long time the Yeti tumbler is where it’s at. If she likes to drink coffee or tea, this is the perfect gift for her.
I have 3 of them and use 1 every single day, even on those hot summer days (just in the early morning though).
7. Water Bottle
Every woman needs to hydrate and a spectacular water bottle will help with that.
Unless you have been living under a rock, you know I have 2 specific water bottles in mind – the Hydro Flask water bottle and the Stanley Quencher water cup.
She is going to flip out if you give her either of these because every woman secretly wants 1 or 5😉.
8. Chocolates
You can never go wrong with gifting chocolates to a woman! A little treat at the end of the workday can be so relaxing for a teaching assistant (or anyone).
There are 2 different kinds that I love giving as gifts because they are just delicious – Ghirardelli Chocolates and Lindor Truffles.
I always have one or both of these in my home.
9. Notebook
For all of the things your teacher assistant needs to keep track of, get her a notebook with some fancy-looking pens.
It is such a simple gift but I can guarantee she will use it!
10. Tote Bag
Teachers and teaching assistants have to carry stuff home and back to school all the time.
This large canvas bag will help them with all of that and more.
She can even use it as a carry-on bag for trips.
11. Planner
She can keep organized with this planner.
I have been using it for 2 years now and love it.
12. Stickers
I am not sure what all of your teacher assistant duties are but it may include reasons to give out stickers. She will be the hit of the classroom! Kids love stickers!
Wow, there are so many stickers out there. Here are just a few fabulous options.
13. Camera
The Instant Fujifilm Camera is so amazing. She can use it at school or just for fun at home. Don’t forget some film too.
My daughter and my sister have this camera and it is just awesome.
14. Candle
Help make her home smell so good with this Allswell candle. There are a few different scents to choose from depending on the time of year.
So far, I have tried Embrace (Vanilla, Sugarcane, and Almond) and Glow (Vanilla, Pear, and Coconut) and I am hooked.
But I see there is also Relax, Calm, Balance, Refresh, Serene, Tranquil, Uplift, Zen, and Mindful. I think I named them all.
You can find this candle at Walmart.
15. Beach Towel and Sunscreen
If this gift is an end-of-the-school-year gift, give your teacher assistant a beach towel and some sunscreen. Hopefully, she can lay out on a beach this summer.
Girl, I just love using this spray sunscreen so much. We have been using it for the past few years and it is so easy to apply and not a single sunburn in sight.
16. Movie Pass with Popcorn
Pick up a few movie passes to a movie theatre near you and tape them to a box of popcorn. It is so simple yet she is going to love it so much.
What is your favorite kind of popcorn? Let me know in the comments below. I was over the moon about Act II Butter Lovers but my dad had me try Orville Redenbacher’s and I have to say, even though they are similar, I like Orville’s better.
17. Gift Card
If nothing else on this list seems like the right gift to give your teacher assistant, go with a gift card. You know there are only like 1000 to choose from.
I like giving gift cards to a local coffee shop or restaurant because I know they will be used. Everyone can find something at a coffee shop and we all need to eat.
