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.
There are many benefits to filling your home with live plants. They help boost your mood, they purify the air, and they can also reduce stress. Taking care of plants can be a full-time job though, and it may be intimidating if you’ve never had a plant baby before. If you start with an easy-to-care-for indoor plant, you’ll soon see how wonderful it can be to have your home filled with lively greenery! See our list of the best indoor plants below…even if you don’t have a “green thumb,” these plants can thrive under your care with just a little love and attention.
Snake Plant
Snake plants are among the easiest plants to care for, and they’re great for propagation! They don’t need a lot of water and they do well in most lighting situations, but preferably steady, indirect light. Water your snake plant when you feel the top 1-2 inches of soil getting dry. A little bit goes a long way, and it’s always easier to add more water than it is to drain the soil.
Pothos Plant
Another plant that’s super easy to take care of and to propagate is the pothos plant. These guys like bright, indirect light and can thrive in a wide range of soil conditions, but prefer the soil to completely dry out between waterings (making it great for those that find a watering schedule tough to stick to).
Monstera Plant
Monstera plants are just slightly more tricky than say, a snake plant or a pothos plant, but once you figure out your monstera plant, the work will be worth it! These gorgeous tropical-looking plants make beautiful additions to the home and are great for photo ops. Keep them in bright, indirect sunlight and keep the soil damp but not overly soaked. When you feel the top couple of inches of soil getting dry, give your monstera a little watering and let it absorb completely.
Majesty Palm Plant
Majesty palm plants are a larger houseplant (more like a tree) and can get up to 10 feet tall (!!) but grow slowly indoors so you don’t have to worry about your palm plant taking over your living room. Keep your majesty palm in a bright corner and give it lots of water. The soil should remain moist but not soaked.
Aloe Plant
Aloe plants are pretty low maintenance…keep them in a bright, sunny spot and water them deeply but sparingly. They don’t require much water and you should wait for the soil to dry out completely before watering again. Bonus – you can use the gel inside of a mature leaf to heal cuts and burns (just don’t ingest it!!).
Succulent
Succulents are plants that thrive in warm, dry climates and they love lots of sunshine! Put them in an area with direct sunlight and seldom water them. Succulents can go weeks without being watered!! An ideal watering scheduling for a succulent is about once every two weeks.
Cactus
A cactus is another type of desert plant that is very low maintenance. Just like succulents, they do extremely well in direct sunlight and with little water. Give your cactus a little water every couple of weeks, waiting until the soil has completely dried out.
As you get to know your houseplants, the main principle is to keep an eye on the soil. In general, you want it to be slightly damp and not overly dry. I usually give my plants a smaller amount of water twice a week rather than a lot of water once a week (with the exception of the succulents). I find they do better with this schedule but again, you have to find what works best for you! Also, leaves will typically turn yellow and droop when they are over-watered and turn brown and crispy if they need more water. Finding a good balance of lighting and a normal watering schedule may take a little trial and error, but you’ll have the best shot at success with these houseplants!
