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.
We are taking the classic LBD (little black dress) and putting a summer spin on it. We present to you: Little White Dresses, or LWD. Perfect for a fresh, bright, summer look, we’ve taken four white dresses and designed them two ways. Take your look from daytime to nighttime with a quick change of accessories and rock your LWD all day long.
Flowy LWD
This boho beautiful look is perfect for a day at the beach, followed by dinner out at a chic spot by the water. Exchange your sunhat and straw purse for strappy sandals and sparkling jewelry and you will be date night ready in a snap.
Dress | Sunhat | Sunglasses | Straw Bag | Sandals | Necklaces | Clutch | Earrings | Strappy Heels
Flared LWD
This flared dress is a fun, flirty look that can be dressed up or dressed down and still look fashionable. Pair with a jean jacket and backpack for a day of running errands and then throw on a lace shawl and long necklace with espadrilles at night for a backyard dinner with the neighbors.
Flared Dress | Jean Jacket | Watch | Backpack | Slip On Shoes | Lace Shawl | Tassel Necklace | Cross Body Bag | Espadrilles
Floral LWD
This floral frock is sophisticated and stylish. Add fun earrings and a leather bag for your office team meeting, and then put on some cuffed jewelry and pumps for your business dinner with the bosses.
Floral Dress | Flower Earrings | Stackable Rings | Leather Bag | Sandals | Ear Cuffs | Cuff Bracelet | Clutch | Pumps
Fitted LWD
A fitted white tank dress is just the right mix of soft and sexy.
