- Engraved teacher ornaments are popular gifts for teachers around Christmas time. Ornaments are appropriate gifts from students, friends and family members. Christmas ornaments should carry a teacher theme, such as an apple, teacher's desk, blackboard, pencil and paper or a small figurine of an actual teacher. Many gift stores offer teacher ornament engraving with the name of the teacher and the date.
- Though mugs are not technically engraved, a personalized printed mug with the name of the teacher and some teacher symbol, such as a cartoon teacher, apple or chalkboard is a thoughtful and creative gift. Mugs are great gifts for teachers as early morning classes usually require a full pot of coffee or a couple of tea bags. Stainless steal beverage tumblers can also be engraved with a teacher's name and is useful for keeping drinks warmer longer.
- Plaques and paperweights are thoughtful gifts for teachers, as they represent the notion of "award" or "achievement" which essentially every teacher accomplishes simply by doing what they do everyday. Teachers can display engraved plaques or paperweights inside of the classroom on their desk or in their own home on the mantle, side table or home office. Plaques and paperweights can be made out of engraved glass or metal and usually hold the engraving of the teacher's name, date and a small message such as "Thank you for expanding the minds of the students at Southwood Elementary," or "To teach is to touch lives forever" or another inspirational teacher quote.
- As a small token of appreciation, an engraved metal bookmark is perfect for teachers who spend hours leafing through books. Silver bookmarks are usually flat-pressed slender pieces of metal with a hooked or curved top that sticks over the head of the book. There are a variety of metal bookmark designs, such as a smooth teardrop shape, bookmarks with apple or star pendants at the top and even page clips. Any metal bookmark can be engraved with the teacher's name or initials.
