Here’s a creative DIY Halloween teacher gift idea! 📚
Let’s face it—Halloween is wild enough without the added chaos of a weekday hangover! But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered with a fun and easy Dollar Tree DIY teacher gift that’ll have you looking like the hero of November 1st. After all, the teachers deserve a little something special for surviving the sugar rush too, right?
Head to Dollar Tree and grab one of these adorable spooky gift boxes to make a simple yet thoughtful Halloween gift! You can fill it with small gifts like candy, treats, a spa mask, and a gift card for your child’s teacher. I love that this is very inexpensive yet so darn CUTE and thoughtful!
I have designed a free printable “Spooktacular teacher” gift tag you can tape to a pencil or wood skewer to use for your book box gifts!
When I saw these fabulous book-shaped boxes at my local Dollar Tree, I knew they would make such perfect Halloween gifts for teachers. The details on the front and sides are so cool! Alternatively, I think they would make inexpensive decor as well on a mantle or shelf.
What a festive and fun surprise gift any teacher would love! You can easily swap out the goodies and customize the inside to fit your budget and what your teacher enjoys.

Extra tips for making this cute Halloween teacher gift:

- I recommend printing the teacher gift tags on cardstock paper for a sturdy tag that is less likely to tear or rip.
- For male teachers consider swapping the beauty items for their favorite candy, treats, hydration packets, gum, and beef jerky snacks, as a few ideas. This is easy to customize.
