Do you love splurging and spoiling the teachers in your life? I have a bunch of ideas for Halloween teacher gifts that I’m sure they will love. From t-shirts to stationery, there are some fun, spooky and cutesy items here they will actually use.
Before even getting any gifts, it’s important to think about how spooky you should go. Some people stay away from Halloween and would rather not participate. Ask the teacher if she’s into it if you aren’t sure.
If Halloween isn’t their thing, you can always get fall-inspired gifts instead. There are a couple options on this list that would be great. Otherwise, get some regular teacher appreciation gifts instead.

Halloween teacher gifts
1. Lanyards
For the teachers that love to show their personality through simple things, these badge protectors and lanyards are a great way to introduce a little spooky fun. There are tons to choose from but I really like these goth bat and alien themed ones. Of course, you can go for black cats and even skeleton ones too.
2. Mugs
Ah yes, mugs, the classic teacher appreciation gift! While you can choose themes based on any of the teacher’s favorite movies, you can also go with simple and unique mugs too. I really like this double insulated cat one. And, this jack o lantern one can double as a pen holder for her desk!
3. Tumbler cups
If the teacher loves her coffee, especially iced coffee, pick up this cute ghostly glass tumbler cup. It comes with a lid and glass straw too.
4. T-shirts
If you know the size of t-shirt the teacher wears, then get her a really nice Halloween themed tee as a gift. She can wear it to class on casual Fridays or even on her days off. It’s a small and simple gift she’ll love.
There are so many options out there that can match her personality. If she’s a fan of Disney and Minnie Mouse, she’ll appreciate these.
5. Sweatshirts
Is the weather already getting chilly? Then, an oversized sweatshirt can be a perfect gift. Choose a color she likes and a graphic that matches her style. Cute ghosts reading books or holding cats are sure to make the teacher (and her students) smile.
6. Sticky notes and pens
For the teachers that love making quick notes in class, get her an adorable Halloween themed set that comes with sticky notes and pens. It’s both useful in the classroom and pretty to look at!
7. Bookmarks
Does the teacher love reading physical books? Do you think he or she will enjoy a new bookmark that’s a tad bit spooky? This metallic one certainly plays up the cute ghost vibe and is pretty budget friendly.
8. Cozy set
A cute, cozy set of assorted, spooky items can be a fun gift for teachers this fall. Most sets come with socks, candles, bath bombs, glass tumblers and maybe soap, bracelets and more. These are pretty cute options.
9. Candles
For the teacher that enjoys simple gifts like candles, fall themed ones would certainly be soothing treats for her. You can get this set that comes with 4 candles. Gift them to different teachers or share the extras with your girlfriends.
Wrap them in kraft brown paper and tie a ribbon on them to make the gift a little more classy.
Spooky gifts for the classroom
10. Stickers
If the teacher loves sharing stickers in the classroom, consider getting her some Halloween themed ones. She could certainly use them in the weeks leading up to the day. While it may be a treat for the kids in class, it’ll still bring her lots of joy when sharing them. And, you’ll be saving her the trouble and expense from buying them herself.
These are great options.
11. Stamps
Much like stickers, stamps are more for the kids, but they are still fun teacher gifts. Teachers can use them as rewards in the classroom while bringing in some seasonal cheer or do I mean scare?
These stamps are the cutest things ever!
12. Classroom decorations
For teachers that love decorating their classrooms, consider sponsoring Halloween decor items. Collaborate with them on what they need or pick easy elements like these stretchy webs with spiders and bats.
This door sign is perfect too!
13. Window decor
Another fun way to decorate the classroom would be with window clings and stickers. You can go for fun pumpkins or choose a cutesy pink set of clings instead.
14. Desk decorations
If a fully decorated classroom for Halloween is not an option, ask the teacher if she wouldn’t mind having mini spooky themed desk signs and decorations. Simple phrases and signs are great but you can also do wooden figurines and more.
I really like these.

15. Candy and cookies
Chocolates, cookies and candy are classic sweet treats to gift for Halloween. Teachers love them! Give them their favorites or opt for Halloween and spooky themed versions of their favorites. Buy in bulk to save a ton!
I really enjoy Mother’s Circus Halloween cookies and Reese’s peanut butter candy.
16. Coffee
Is the teacher a coffee lover? She’ll certainly appreciate Halloween and fall themed coffee gifts! I mean, can anyone say no to pumpkin spice? The Bones Coffee Company has some wonderful themed gift boxes like this one.
17. Homemade treats
For the teacher that loves homemade sweet treats, bake their favorite desserts! Pumpkin pie, cookies, carrot cake and blondies are all great ideas.
Make it spooky with these mummy pumpkin blondies or go for a more comforting snack with these smores brownie bars.
18. Crochet gift
Here’s another Halloween teacher gift for her desk! Crochet gifts are budget friendly and still super sweet. She’ll surely enjoy this one with a sign saying she’s amazing.
Crochet pumpkins are also really nice and make great fall teacher gifts too.
