Kids across Utah are going back to school this week and next. Between back-to-school nights, finding teacher gifts, and shopping for clothes and supplies, it can be a busy time! Let Gardner Village make things easier with a one-stop spot for kids’ clothes, unique art supplies, and plenty of ‘welcome back’ gift ideas, both for the amazing school staff and your brilliant student.
SCHOOL CLOTHES
Your kiddos will get an A+ in fashion with clothing from Spoiled Rotten Children’s Boutique. This locally-owned shop is full of vibrant, happy looks, including accessories and other cute extras.
As you likely know, school pictures are often taken shortly after the schoolyear begins, and this is a prime place to get your kids camera ready!
SCHOOL SUPPLIES
The Art Cottage is another one of our Utah-owned shops that makes shopping for school supplies so much fun! They have plenty of the unique items and specialty supplies young artists need. From art pencils and paper to paints and a plethora of pens, your students will be expressing themselves in no time!
And you know every child in town will feel like the head of the class with a Labubu pen in tow!
SCHOOL GIFTS
Whether you’re seeking a gift for those hard working teachers, bus drives, couselors, and other school staff members or you simply want to add a little extra happiness to your student’s first day, there are so many special things available at The Village.
Why give teacher a boring apple when you can give her one dipped in caramel and gift wrapped. YUM! The Chocolate Covered Wagon has you covered!
If you prefer to save your caramel for corn, they have that too!
If you’d like to brighten up your student’s lunchbox with a sweet treat, they have plenty of packaged delights.
Next door to Chocolate Covered Wagon, you’ll find Simply Flowers. This spot is blooming with ideas, including these sweet flower jars that are just $5 and include a gift tag. What a great idea for your child’s teacher’s desk!
There are many affordable plants up from adoption at the front of the store right now, just waiting to call a classroom home.
In fact, the store is full of plant potential and gift ideas!
These Moss Amigos moss balls are both a nice gift and a natural fidget. After all, teaching is a stressful job!
Speaking of stress, Simply Flowers also carries Pinch Me Therapy Dough, which is nice for a teacher or a nervous student. They even have clip-on sizes, perfect backpacks!
If you’d like to show your gratitude with a hand-written note, quilled cards are a beautiful choice. The detail is impeccable, and the designs stand out!
Utah is known for its Dual Language Immersion (DLI) program, with youngsters across the state learning Chinese, French, and Spanish. If your student is one in this program, you definitely want to visit Wanderlust. They have unique treasures from around the world. You bet a DLI instructor would find an in-language/country gift to be extra memorable!

Set your year up for success with the best in dress, gifts, and goods/supplies. To all going back to school, we hope your 2025-26 year is full of memories and moments that matter. To the parents and caregivers supporting those students, we wish you an easy transition!
Happy school year, friends!
