Teacher Appreciation Gifts They'll Actually Use
There's a cup that rides to the copier, sits through dismissal, and comes back cold at 2:15. These glass cups with bamboo lids and reusable straws are made for that walk, with original designs she'll actually want on her desk.

What's a good teacher appreciation gift that isn't another candle?
Something she uses daily. A glass cup with a bamboo lid and reusable straw goes from desk to copier to car, which is more than most appreciation week gifts can say.
Can a few parents go in on a teacher gift together?
Yes, and it works well. Splitting one cup between a handful of families gets you a real gift instead of five small ones she has to find room for.
What should I get a teacher for the end of the year versus Christmas?
End of year suits the funny and floral designs, since everyone is running on fumes. Christmas leans cozy, so the bookish and affirmation prints tend to land best.
