A collection of fabulous gift ideas. The techy teacher gift guide is perfect from Christmas to Teacher Appreciation! | maneuveringthemiddle.com

The techy teacher is the go-to teach guy or gal in the school. He or she has great little gadgets, waits hours in line to get the latest iPhone, and can be counted on to get the projector up and running in the case of an emergency.  Check out this techy teacher gift guide for suggestions from stocking stuffers to full fledged gifts!

1. AUDIBLE SUBSCRIPTION

I love to read, but finding the time to sit and read a book can be a challenge. Audible is the perfect solution! On the way to work, washing dishes, riding the train, or exercising are all excellent ways to maximize your time and learn something new.  My husband and I love to listen to books as we travel over the holiday season.  In one trip home, we can finish an entire book!  It helps the time pass, we learn something new, and I love checking off some reading.

2. Wireless Headphones

The new iPhone makes it possible to use wireless headphones and get rid of the cords. I love this cordless option and found this pair to be a great price for an entry level option. For a more updated pair, check out this wireless bluetooth option.

3.  Socks

Socks are the perfect way to give your wardrobe a little refresh for a small amount of money. Grab a silly pair, your students will love it! Stocking stuffer, yes. Secret Santa gift, sign me up.  My favorites are these stripes, these polka dots, and this geometric pair.

4. Backpack

This Incase backpack is perfect for the techy teacher because of all the interesting pockets, pouches, and cord holders. It looks sleek and even has a computer sleeve area for up to a 15″ laptop.  It is super slim, so its not going to hold everything, but its sleek and trendy and won’t get mixed up with any student backpacks.

5. bluetooth speaker

I loved having a bluetooth speaker in my classroom!  You can grab the fancy Amazon Tap, which uses voice control, streams music, and plays for up to 9 hours.

6. A PORTABLE CHARGER

It’s likely that a techy teacher is going to wear down their cell battery between using the wifi and running Bluetooth. This portable charger has all of the cables built in too!

7. Two port usb charger

This is something that you don’t realize you need until you have it. My husband bought one and I thought it was frivolous. Then, I realized that between the lamp, baby monitor, phone, and alarm clock, I was running out of plugs. My husband keeps this two port USB charger in his suitcase when he travels to keep from having to hunt down an awkwardly placed plug in the hotel. I think its perfect to keep in your desk drawer at school.  Another excellent stocking stuffer or Secret Santa gift.

Do you have any other great suggestions?  I would love to hear them in the comments below.
