Educators, instructors, academics, professors, teachers…whatever you call them, we wouldn’t be the people we are today without them.

A sweet twist on the traditional apple, these Mrs. Prindable’s caramel apples are an awesome treat to gift to any teacher in your life!

Our teachers shape minds and change lives, and this plaque lets them know just how appreciated they are.

It’s important to stay hydrated, especially when speaking in front a full classroom all day! This stainless steel water bottle will keep their water cool and refreshing all day long.

Being able to teach is certainly a superpower! They’ll be able to drink their much-needed morning coffee with this mug, and gift them this mug warmer too so they can sip between lessons without running to the teacher’s lounge constantly.

This personalized tumbler is a fun way to showcase all things school and will allow them to enjoy their favorite beverages with a smile!

Thier phone or tablet will be kept safe and in sight (not buried under papers) on their desk with this personalized phone stand.

This beautiful charm bracelet is a great everyday accessory for all of her teacher outfits.

Lunchtime will never be a bore again with this master hot sauce gift set!

This keychain will be a daily reminder that the work they do makes a difference.

Perfect for lounging around the house, these socks serve as a reminder that teachers deserve a day off, too!

This Keep Calm tumbler will help teachers take a deep breath when things don’t quite go according to plan in the classroom…movie day anyone?!

For all their books, snacks, outfit changes, and endless school supplies, this teacher tote will be their go-to bag.

Show them how important of a puzzle piece they are in your child’s life with this framed puzzle picture.

It’s 5 o’ clock somewhere! A cold, refreshing beer (or any relaxing beverage of choice) is much deserved at the end of a long week and this funny glass explains it all.

Not every superhero wears a cape. Teachers are definitely a special sort of superhero, and this sign will help them get through those hard days!
