Y’all know I love gift giving—especially for my students—so in this vlog I’m sharing my go-to ways to make classroom holiday gifting feel simple, doable, and still really special. Over a few days, I’m prepping gifts for two different groups: my own class and my small group students for our House Days. My biggest tip is to think in “categories” so you’re not reinventing the wheel every year, and I always try to pair a physical gift with an experience so it’s not just stuff—it’s a memory. I walk you through three main ideas: a left-right game for my House Day small group (because they LOVE a game moment), custom “I Spy” snowglobes for each of my students (personalized and adorable), and plastic wrap balls filled with prizes for a high-energy game on the last day before winter break. If you’re wanting gifts that feel thoughtful without being complicated, this is exactly the kind of system that keeps it fun for the kids and lighter for me as the teacher.
