5. DIY self-warm
After 8-10 hours of standing in front of the classroom, many teachers returned home with back pain. Not everyone owns a heating pad, so this homemade kettle is the next best thing. This gift is perfect if you already have a sewing machine and have some extra cloth lying around your crafting defense. In the Spoonful of Sugar blog, they suggest using old felt flannel pajamas to make these bags of wheat if you want to prepare something you already have on hand.
They can be heated in a microwave to get them at the right temperature. Each bag should come with a small card explaining how to use it, as many people may have never seen before. Unlike plugging in a heating pad, you can fall asleep with one of these bags without worrying about accidentally burning yourself or catching fire in the middle of the night. The best thing about this gift concept is that in your child's life, you will give a couple of them to any teacher.
