Looking for great teacher gifts for Teacher Appreciation Week? I'm listing things that teachers want (hint, it's nothing apple themed).......

Ok guys, we need to talk.  This is on behalf of us……the teachers.  Teacher appreciation week is coming.  Now to be clear, I do NOT expect presents from my students.  AT ALL.  But, I am buying them for Lydia's teachers.  If you can give teachers a small gift to show how much you appreciate what they do all year, do it.  I wanted to share a few suggestions for great teacher gifts.

Please, no school themed or apple themed items.  I love school.  I love my job.  But, I don't collect apple items.  And neither do most teachers.  Try to think of hobbies or interests that your child's teacher has outside of school…….or even just colors you've seen them wear a lot of.

A few things on MY Teacher Gifts Wishlist this year:

 

Target Gift Card: Yes please.  Everyone loves Target, right?  The great thing is, any teacher can use a gift card to buy things for their classroom or they can spoil themselves with some cute new shoes.

Cute Tumbler: Have you noticed teachers are always drinking water? You try talking nonstop for 7 hours to a bunch of eight year olds.  Thus, the need to stay hydrated.  Every teacher I know keeps a cute tumbler or water bottle handy.  So you can be SURE that one will go to good use!

Keurig Coffee Maker: Want to do a group gift from the whole class? A Keurig is a GREAT idea, then you can always gift kcups of hot cocoa, coffee or tea for the holidays throughout the year!  And TRUST ME….it will be appreciated.

Bath Set: A simple bath set of bath gel or bubbles is a great way to let your child's teacher know that you want them to pamper themselves! I love this little Thank You set, it's super cute and not too pricey!

Beach Towel and Summer Gift Pack: Summer is on the horizon, and the teachers have earned a vacation.  Right? Give them a cute beach towel and tote bag, with a note that says you hope they have a great and relaxing vacation!

Leather Earrings: I love to wear earrings to work, but heavy ones often get in the way during projects or classroom demos.  If you follow me on Instagram, then you know that I wear these lightweight leather earrings from Nickel and Suede almost every day to work.  They're a killer price and come in a million colors!

Red for Ed Necklace: Most states are in the midst of a red for ed movement.  Teachers wear red at least one day a week to show solidarity and to ask for more funding, better salaries, and smaller class size.  Gifting your child's teacher with a simple red piece of jewelry is a GREAT way to show your support (I love this classic necklace)!

What teacher gifts are your favorite to give?

✨One of my favorite spots on the Disney Wish? The Bayou Lounge.  It’s stunning.  Perfectly detailed, ornate and plush and feels like……..a place you’d love to sit and sip on something fabulous.  There is live music in the evenings, there are beignets all day, and fancy drinks too.  It’s perfect for….one of my favs.

✨Is she one of your favorites too? (ps swipe for an iconic appearance)

💦 I had to: full Disney Wish Aquamouse report 💦

For research purposes…..since anything that combines Disney and bathing suits is a requirement in my book.

Scroll to see my ride cam and reactions (and a sneak peak at Disney’s first attraction at sea).

Is it scary? No. 
Will kids like it? Yes.
Will adults like it? Yes.
Is it adorable? 100% yes.

Now…..would you ride the Aquamouse? Drop a yes or no in the comments.

<hosted by Disney> I had ONE thing I wanted to do during our day at Epcot before we sail away for the Christening of the Disney Wish tomorrow.  And it lived up to every expectation I had. ⠀
⠀
Seriously, this ride is a magical addition to the parks (and I know WDW people it’s not new to you but it was new to us Disneylanders…..I’m SO glad I didn’t watch ride spoilers beforehand……it was so fun to experience it this way!)⠀
⠀
So, if you had to pick ONE thing to do at Walt Disney World….what would your priority be? Now I have to know (and why is it something Epcot related).⠀
