5 Gifts To Get the Kids’ Teacher Because My God They Deserve It

It's been a rough year for teachers. Not only are they living on the front lines of this pandemic, but they've had to find new ways to teach, all of a sudden, without ever really knowing if school will be open tomorrow or next week.

Stressful!

Here are some teacher gifts that will help them relax, find a little me time, and get their groove back — or just acknowledge the historic moment that they are working through.

A basket filled with delicious indulgences? Yes, please! This basket contains many, varied ways to unwind after a long day of wrangling kittens — er, students — through Zoom.

There's a bath bomb, clay mask, bath salts, a bath tub tea, and a lip balm all in your choice of delicious scents — lavender, rose calendula, Himalayan pink salt, oatmeal, calendula, or rose. It's all hand-packaged and with a handwritten note. It's a pretty gift as well as a lovely way for your child's teacher to unwind and self-pamper.

This mug that says it for you, frustrated teacher

How many times a day do you think the teachers have had to tell the kids to mute their microphone so home noises don't cause the lesson to cut out? Hundreds daily? No doubt. This mug understands that frustration and allows the teacher to simply hold up their coffee next time it happens.

You can choose the size of the mug and the year printed on it.

Express your child's appreciation for all that teaching.

Here is a beautiful thank-you note that says, "Thanks for helping me grow," and a tiny succulent. It's packaged beautifully with your choice of a candle or bath salts. You can also add a bath bomb and/or necklace to the package, and it will all be shipped directly to the teacher.

Gorgeous and on point, this is an easy and thoughtful way to express your child's appreciation for the effort that went into teaching this year — and every year.

What a year. Teaching during a pandemic is not something anyone signed up for knowingly, but that's what happened! And this gift of goodies is a testament to the year just survived.

It comes in a box emblazoned with a personalized Pandemic Teacher message, a note card, a 22-ounce tumbler with the "teaching from a distance" saying of your choice, a shirt printed with a pandemic saying, a bracelet with a charm, and a pandemic poem.

It's as if to say, "I see what you just did, teacher! Wow!"
