Highlighter Teacher Gift Ideas
To make your own highlighter teacher gift, you’ll need a few supplies from your craft room. One of the supplies you’ll need is my free printable gift tags! Keep reading to see how to get your own printable gift tags. And since the saying on the card is focused on highlighters, you’ll need some of those to make this back to school teacher gift, too!

After that, there are a few ways to package your highlighter teacher appreciation gift:
- In a jar. I love making mason jar gifts, so adding some highlighters to a jar is my favorite way to gift them! On top of making them look cute, the jar can also serve as a storage container for your teacher’s desk.
- With ribbon. Simply attach the gift tag to a package of highlighters with a piece of ribbon. All you have to do is wrap the ribbon around the highlighters and thread it through a hole in the corner of the card.
- Using tape. Don’t have any ribbon on hand? Place a piece of tape on the back of the card to instantly attach it to a package of highlighters!
- In a gift basket. Add your highlighters to a school supply gift basket to really help your teacher stock up on supplies at the beginning of the school year. You can include the highlighters, along with other popular supplies like note pads, pens, pencils, markers, and glue.
