Teacher Appreciation Week is May 6th-10th and if you want to show your school spirit and gratitude for our educators and school professionals, a thoughtful gift is a great way to do so. See our Teacher Appreciation Week gift inspiration below.
If you want to make a whole week of it, doing a color a day for your teacher with each color having some kind of “theme” is a fun idea. Kristy did this for her daughter’s teacher! For red, the first day, it’s all about the teacher….the things she likes and things to spoil her with for the days she’s not teaching. Items include a Bogg bag, apple candle, Sol de Janeiro kit, and a self-care book.
Tag: “ Roses are RED & Apples are too! You’re the best teacher ever, we’re so thankful for you.”
Orange, day two, is focused on recognizing the growth she’s given the students. She also loves to garden, so this is perfect! Orange items include drinking glasses, a succulent, a personalized planter, a mister, and a seed kit.
Tags: “ ORANGE you just such a SUN-sational teacher!“ and “Thank you for helping us grow!“
Day three is yellow, a bright and shining color, so these items show her that she’s the star to the kids. Yellow gifts include a tote, lip balm, hand sanitizer, paper weights, a t-shirt, an essential oil pen, a pillow for the reading corner, and a coffee mug, of course!
Tags: “Thank you for being the STAR that taught them to SHINE“ and “The influence of a good teacher can never be erased.”
Green, day four, is a day for the classroom! These gifts are things she can use in and around like classroom, like a utility cart, Sharpies, a label maker, a pencil sharpener, a journal, essential oils, and modular seats for the kids.
Tags: “Thank you for your Commit•Mint Involve•mint Encourage•mint Invest•mint” and “Green with envy are those who wish they had you for a teacher!“
Blue, the final day, is for all things lunch!! Items include a lunch carrier, a mini to-go Crockpot, a Bentgo container, a snacks bag, a sand art light that’s great for lunchtime relaxation or meditation, and a Stanley tumbler.
Tags: “Just something out of the blue to say we appreciate you!“ and “We appreciate you a whole bunch, so please enjoy some lunch!“
And if you’d rather do one gift on Teacher Appreciation Day (May 7th), a gift bag stuffed with self-care goodies is always a hit! Grab a tote and fill it with Sharpies, this cute acrylic desk sign, a canvas pouch with keychains, body scrub, body wash, lip balm, a lip mask, face masks, and a facial scrub!

Summer will be here before we know it and we’re already dreaming of all the ways we can update our wardrobes with the best styles of the season. From social festivities to days at the desk, and vacations by the water to early morning runs, Walmart has everything you need to make this a summer of fashion-forward moments. See our Walmart summer fashion inspiration below.
Summer = party time! Grad parties, pool parties, backyard BBQs, and holiday soirées…summer is the season of celebrations. Make sure you’re party ready with one of these gorgeous getups.
Maybe you’re all work and no play. Which is okay, but don’t ignore the benefits of a healthy work-life balance! These dresses will have you looking chic in the office, and they can definitely be worn to date night after, too!
Pool days, beach trips, and lake vacations. Whatever your preferred form of water-centric recreation, get yourself a swimsuit to rock that will steal the show.
Don’t forget your coverup! These will come in handy when you’re trying to enjoy your liquid lunch at one of those “no shirt, no shoes, no service” places.
And if you’re team #summerbod, grab a few workout pieces that will make you excited to get your sweat on.

Meet the Founder
Kristy – Founder & President
Welcome to the Frugal and Thriving community! I started this group in October 2019 as a way to help others save on everyday essentials, gifts for every celebration, and the occasional splurge-worthy treat! I am so grateful for all of you who have become like a family to me. YOU are the reason I love doing what I do!!
As a wife and a mom to two beautiful kiddos (and two adorable pups!) I know how important it is to make the most of those hard-earned paychecks! One way I love to save money is by doing DIY projects. You can find me remodeling or reorganizing something in my house pretty much at all times…something about accomplishing it on your own is so much more rewarding!
I also love cooking and baking, and trying new recipes for my family (and all of you!) to enjoy is one of my favorite hobbies. Traveling is a passion of mine, too, but my kids have me grounded at homebase right now, so I’m working on my travel bucket list instead. Summer is my all-time favorite season and I’m so thankful to get to live by the beach, but I have a special place in my heart for fall, too. I would definitely be okay if those were the only two seasons.
I’m so happy to have you here and I hope I can help you find a little inspiration and creativity for living a lavish lifestyle for less!
Meet the F&T Team
Fellicia – Deal Coordinator
If there is a hot deal out there, Fellicia will find it! As our designated Deal Coordinator and a stay-at-home mom to four kids who has been married to the love of her life for 18 years, she knows all about finding a good bargain. Fellicia loves creating new recipes and dishes, especially when she gets to embrace her husband’s Spanish culture and play around with Hispanic-inspired food! When she’s not in the kitchen cooking up something mouthwateringly delicious, you can catch her refinishing an eclectic piece of furniture that makes a room look just right, or organizing closets, pantries, toy bins, and cabinets. If it can be organized, Fellicia is on it. She is happiest when she can be enjoying peaceful time tucked away in the mountains, especially during the fall.
Faith – Content Creator
As a lover of reading and writing, our Content Creator, Faith, is fully in her element while creating fun and informative blog posts for our website! She is the ultimate homebody who can be found curled up in the coziest blanket with a good book and a hot cup of tea (with a million candles lit). When she’s not researching new and interesting ideas for the blog or lost in an enrapturing story, she’s most definitely on her yoga mat or outside soaking up some sun and fresh air.
Krista – Social Media Manager
Our Social Media Manager, Krista, uses her bubbling fountain of creativity to design eye-catching photos and videos for F&T’s social platforms. When she isn’t busy making our community more aesthetically pleasing, she’s probably shopping the latest trends in fashion, beauty, and home decor; crafting; or spending some quality time with her family and houseplants (because plants need loving, too!). Her passions include all things Broadway, Harry Potter, and Disney, and you can find her sprinkling a little bit of magic everywhere she goes.
