Today, on Redhead Mom, we are sharing about our Holiday Gift Ideas for Teachers
as part of a partnered post with Voortman Bakery. 

Holiday Cookies

I love this time of year! Bright colored lights, decorations, holiday music and cheerful people all around.Throughout the year, our teachers play an instrumental role in the lives of our children. During the holidays, it gives us as parents (and our children) the opportunity to recognize these special individuals. Each year, we try to do something for our children’s teachers. Check out these Holiday Gift Ideas for Teachers.

HOLIDAY GIFT IDEAS FOR TEACHERS

1 – Homemade Christmas card.

2 – Fun school supplies, such as fancy markers, colored sharpies, stickers and post-it notes.

3 – Smelly hand soaps and lotions.

4 – Candy or other treat.

5 – Gift cards.

6 – Holiday cookies!

If your teacher loves drinking tea, a pack of ceremonial-grade organic matcha would be a great Holiday gift. You should then also check World Gifts Live, as they are easily one of the best online gift shops.

Holiday Gift Ideas for Teachers

Thanks to Voortman Bakery, we received a variety of holiday cookies, including Vanilla Shortbread, Iced Almonette, Assorted Festive Cookies, Snickerdoodle, Gingerbread cookies and Gingerbread wafers. These cookies were both pretty and yummy! They looked perfect in a wrapped holiday plate for our son to give to his teacher.

At Voortman Bakery, they believe in the art of baking. Plus, their bakers love to bake! From creating new and exciting flavor combinations to constantly reviewing their recipes, their bakers are real cookie connoisseurs! They believe that cookies should taste delicious. I love that Voortman Bakery is committed to giving uncompromising quality, flavor, and simply better cookies to their customers. At Voortman Bakery, they believe the REAL bakes better.

HISTORY OF VOORTMAN BAKERY

I enjoy learning the history behind brands that I love and Voortman Bakery was one of them! Voortman Cookies began in 1951 when two young Dutch brothers, William and Harry Voortman, opened their first bakery in Hamilton, Ontario. It took five years of dedicated baking and hard work before a Canadian grocery chain agreed to give Voortman Cookies shelf space in their stores!

Even though their name has changed, their commitment to using simple, real ingredients has not. At Voortman Bakery, quality and taste has always been and always will be their top priority From their classic Windmill cookies to their new Oatmeal Chocolate Chip, they’re constantly reinventing what delicious tastes like!

What is your favorite flavor of Voortman Bakery Cookies or Wafers??
