Holiday Gift Guide: Gifts for the teacher
If you are still looking for a special, yet affordable teacher gift for the holidays, we have some suggestions.
Gift Ideas for Teachers
Teachers work so hard. I come from a long line of teachers. Before he became a newspaper reporter and editor, my dad was a middle school English teacher. My mom is retired after spending many years teaching high school children with special needs. My brother is a Latin teacher. My cousin is a math teacher. My sister-in-law teaches kindergarten. My dear friend Teresa teaches third grade special education. I have great appreciation for the hard work and passion they have -- and had -- for their chosen field.
You will often find a coffee cup sitting on a teacher's desk. How about a beautiful handmade ceramic mug? Check out your local gift shop or ceramics studio -- or this lovely shop over on Etsy called Ning's Wonder World.
Teachers also use their hands. A lot. They also wash them frequently. Choose which fragrances he/she will appreciate the most with our Seed Healthy Hand Cream Selection. Your child's teacher can keep one at his or her desk, in a bag, and one at home.
How about a tote bag? Between lesson plan books, folders, and homework to grade, every teacher needs a bag and I like this pretty eco tote from LJ's Garden over on Etsy.
An apple for the teacher? Of course!

We've all heard about the "Freshman 15." I gained about 7 pounds freshman year.
