CV NEWS FEED // It’s back-to-school season and CatholicVote is ready to help you find the perfect teacher appreciation gift! 

We know it’s tough to find good gifts without supporting corporations opposed to Catholic values. So if you don’t have a local Catholic book and gift store to shop at, here are five of our suggestions for alternatives!

“12 Virtues of a Good Teacher”:

Sophia Institute Press offers a wide variety of gifts and books from which to choose.  

We thought the book “12 Virtues of a Good Teacher” by Brother Luke Grande would make a great gift to kick off the new school year. It explores the advice and reflections for teachers by St. John Baptist de La Salle, who is a patron saint of teachers.  

Thomas Aquinas Plaque: 

Portraits of Saints has a great selection of saint images perfect for teachers with favorite patron saints. A beautiful plaque of St. Thomas Aquinas, patron of academics and schools, makes a thoughtful gift to start the semester! 

Gift Cards: 

If you want to give a Catholic gift but just don’t know what, you can’t go wrong with a gift card to The Catholic Company! 

For teachers who love to read in their free time, you can give a Cluny Media gift card which allows them to pick out their next good book to enjoy! 

Catholic Coffee: 

If you know your child’s teacher needs a daily caffeine fix, Catholic Coffee, an ethically sourced, Catholic-owned company, offers a variety of roasts and gift sets. 

You can also check out our classic 5 Best Catholic Coffees for more ideas!

Litany for Teachers: 

Perfect for decorating their desk, this Litany for Teachers is a great gift for educators! It is available for purchase on Etsy along with tons of other gifts sold by Catholic shops on Etsy which we also recommend checking out. 

BONUS IDEA!

Practical Help: 

If your teachers are anything like ours, they work long hours for little pay out of love! We also highly recommend practical gifts such as gift cards to grocery stores, online retailers, or local restaurants!
