I've been browsing the internet for maths related stocking fillers. I thought it might be helpful to share what I've found, to save time for anyone else looking for mathsy gifts.
Posters and Prints
There are some lovely mathematical posters on
Etsy but most have to be downloaded digitally. A teacher looking for classroom or corridor displays might pay to download posters then print them at school. But if you're giving them as gifts then you might want a more professional finish in which case perhaps the files could be uploaded to somewhere like
Photobox for printing. Some of these posters are nice enough that they could even be framed and put up at home. There are dozens of examples - here's a selection:
Notebooks and Pads
I love notebooks! There are plenty of mathematical notebooks to choose from and I think they make a lovely gift.
Coasters
I think a mathsy coaster makes a really nice gift for a teacher's classroom desk.
There are also some really cute coasters and other gifts on
chemisttree.com but be warned - they ship from the US so the shopping cost is more than the cost of the coasters.
Stickers and Badges
Stickers and badges make nice stocking fillers for maths teachers. Here are a few examples.
Miscellaneous
There are loads more gifts I could have included in this post - endless mugs, t shirts and brilliant books for example - but I need to keep it to a manageable length! So here are just a few gift ideas that you might not have seen before.
If you're shopping for a maths lover then check out
Maths Gear and
Present Indicative - both websites are packed full of excellent maths gifts.
Note that I haven't checked the quality of any of the gifts listed in this post so please don't blame me if they turn out to be rubbish (apart from my book! That is quite good...). Also, please don't think I have taken money to promote any of these items - everything featured here is just stuff I've randomly found.
Maths teachers - if you like what you see here, send this post to your loved ones!
