7 Nike Gift Ideas for Teachers

Make a teacher’s day a little easier with an insulated lunch bag that features organizational pockets.

The gym-duffel-inspired Nike Gym Club Lunch Bag is a unique spin on a traditional lunch bag, or the Nike Fuel Pack is roomy with insulated lining to keep food cool until lunchtime. To go the extra mile, pack it full of their favorite snacks.

Teachers put in serious work, a gift that emphasizes recovery and self-care can go a long way. The Nike cozy collection features fleece pullovers, fuzzy slippers and more — anything a teacher would need for a relaxing evening.

If you’re unsure about a teacher’s shoe or apparel size, opt for a warm hat, headband or quilted scarf.

If you’re looking for teacher-appreciation gift ideas but are at a loss for what to buy, a gift card is the answer. A Nike gift card is an obvious pick for coaches and gym teachers, but it’s just as suitable for a math or history teacher.

If you need a last-minute gift and don’t have time to get a physical gift card, Nike also offers digital gift cards that can be emailed.

A Nike baseball cap is a practical and budget-friendly gift for any teacher. To play it safe, opt for a simple black or white baseball cap suitable for daily activities. Or, if you have a better sense of your teacher’s style, pick out a colorful cap or a flat-brimmed skate hat.

Nike also offers hats for specialized sports, like golfing or trail running. If you know your teacher has a favorite hobby or sport that they do on the weekends, consider a hat designed with that in mind.

Teachers often carry heaps of materials to class, so a high-quality Nike backpack will be in constant rotation.

A small backpack like the Nike Heritage Eugene Backpack (23 liters of storage) is a versatile size that a teacher can use at school or on the weekends, while a larger backpack, like the 32-liter Utility Elite, will fit gear for the entire school day and any after-school activities.

For teachers who work on laptops, tablets or other screens, consider gifting a pair of Nike blue-light-blocking glasses. Glasses in the Nike Blue Light Collection feature a premium lens coating that helps reduce blue-light exposure from digital devices.

Or, if you’re shopping for a teacher who spends lots of time outside (think: gym teachers or teachers who supervise outdoor extracurricular activities), opt for a pair of Nike sunglasses.

If your teacher wears an Apple Watch, consider surprising them with a new Apple Watch Nike Sport Band or Sport Loop. Designed for exercise, these Apple watch bands will be especially appreciated by teachers who track their health and wellness data.

The Nike Sport Band features high-performance, synthetic rubber materials with perforations for breathability, while the Nike Sport Loop is made from a lightweight nylon weave.
