Teaching is a thankless job but these thoughtful teacher appreciation gifts do a great job of showing your gratitude for an awesome educator. Teacher appreciation week is technically the first full week in May but you can make it feel like every week for the teachers in your life or your kiddo's life. There are tons of good options for special teachers that will make them feel as cherished as they are; like desk signs, door signs, tote bags, and other personalized gifts. Snag some "cakes" made of school supplies and outfit their classrooms (that will mean more than you know!) Give science teachers, math teachers, daycare teachers, and every teacher in between a gift card for coffee tucked in a clever and funny pun-laden gift card sleeve (coffee gift cards are always welcome!). Or treat them to something with a side of humor, like funny teacher wine glasses that make writing lesson plans a touch more fun. From newbie teachers to retiring teachers, these thoughtful gifts are a fab way to tell them thanks for all they've done.
