Teacher Appreciation Gift Idea: Candles & Candle Warmers (Plus a free printable tag!)
**** UPDATE ****
Get our free printable Christmas tag here!
If you haven’t heard yet, Teacher Appreciation Week is May 5-9th. So to get ready we have been posting lots of easy ideas for you to make your child’s teacher a special something to show how much you appreciate all of their hard work!
So far this week we have shared printable tags to attach to soda (You are ‘SO-DA’ teacher!) and water bottles (I just can’t bottle it up anymore!) Both gifts were super cute and something that I’m sure any teacher would appreciate. Today we have TWO printables that you can use to add to your gifts!
If you have a super awesome teacher you should definitely think about getting them a pretty candle warmer! I know teachers love to have their classrooms smell nice, but you aren’t allowed to have candles with open flames (due to obvious reasons!) burning. I know when I was teaching lots of teachers brought in candle warmers to plug in to keep their classrooms smelling nice!
This warmer is so pretty! It’s from Candlewarmers.com and is actually a warming lamp, which means it actually gives off some light as opposed to a traditional warmer.
It comes in black and white so it is perfect for any decor! (You can get one here.)
I *love* Candlewarmers.com! We have their products all throughout the house. See? Isn’t the owl candle warmer the cutest? (Get him here!) Their products are really top notch!
I promise – whoever you purchase a candle warmer for will be super happy! 🙂 Attach our cute printable tag (find it below!!) and some ribbon and you have a perfect gift!
Want to know what goes great with candle warmers or even as gifts on their own? Candles! City Creek Candles is hands down my favorite place to get candle and candle waxes! I love them because they are super awesome quality, but their site is so easy to find exactly what you are looking for! Their (tons) of scents are organized by categories like citrus + fruit, woods, sea + sand, green + herbal and more!
We have the frosted cake wax in our candle warmer and, true story, the first time we put it on Josh came up from the basement because he thought I had made cupcakes. (He was quite disappointed! No cupcakes – just a candle!)
This time they sent me Sugared and Citrus. You have no clue how amazing this sells! I’m obsessed!
(Check out all of the amazing scents and candles here.)
Make sure to print the gift tag (below!!) and add your favorite ribbon to create a fun (and great smelling!!) gift!
To attach the bow to the candle I just cut a piece of ribbon to fit snugly around the jar and hot glued it to form a loop and slipped it on.
If your ribbon is a little loose just put a small dot of hot glue on the glass and it should hold. When your teacher is ready to use the candle it should pull of pretty easily.
Just save the above image to your computer (or flash drive). I fit mine to take up one page and printed it at a local copy shop on card stock.
(Don’t forget to Pin!)

My favorite candle scents are anything that smells sweet or spicy, like something’s baking in the oven.
I love a spicy scented candle, like cinnamon spice or something on that order. Great idea for teachers.
Totally cute and fun idea. Who doesn’t love a candle and some cute touches of craftiness on it? LOVE!
Thank you! They smell amazing!
LOVE your candle! I think we don’t show enough appreciation to our kids teachers. I am trying to do something little for them every week for the rest of the year. They deserve it!

Anything you can get a teacher to help them relax at the end of the day would be a good gift idea. Great scented candles does that!
What a great idea. I had been trying to think of something to do for my son’s teacher. This is perfect.
I love the scent of candles. My favorites are sweet and fruity scents.

I usually gravitate towards vanilla candles. You’ve just given me an idea to get our teachers a plug-in candle warmer for the classroom. Something relaxing would really help, I bet.

The owl is way to cute! I so want one now!
I tend to like either fall scents or fruity scents. This is a great idea for a teacher because they can’t burn candles and classrooms are often smelly!

As a former teacher, I can tell you that teacher appreciation gifts are always welcome. And candles make great gifts no matter what occasion it is!
I love anything food like- citrus, fruits, berries, sugar cookie, pumpkin- except that I hate apple scented stuff! I use warmers because I have a no open flame policy. Two fires in my lifetime is enough! I’m paranoid!
These tags are seriously cute! AND I love love love Candlewamers!!! They have such great products!
I love vanilla scented candles! These are my favorites. I will allow for apple scented.
I so want to snatch that owl warmer! I love candle warmers and have several.

I love anything “autumn” like cinnamon spice, or pumpkin pie/apple pie. Living in Florida, we miss all the traditional Fall stuff and I need the reminder in my life! 🙂
What a great idea. I love great gifts for teachers. Anything that is calming or soothing are always appreciated.
I have that same candle warmer in black and love it. It would make an excellent gift.
