As a mom, maker, and former student who still remembers the teachers that changed her life, I’m here to say: teachers are the real MVPs.

They pour out their time, energy, and hearts to shape the minds of the next generation. And this week — Teacher Appreciation Week — it’s our turn to give some of that love right back.

Why Teacher Appreciation Matters

Let’s be real: no candle or apple-shaped mug could ever match what they do every day.

But a personalized gift? One made with thought, intention, and their name on it? That’s a different story.

Custom gifts are more than products — they’re a personal thank-you. They say:

• “I see you.”

• “I appreciate you.”

• “You made a difference in my child’s life.”

That’s the energy we’re bringing this week.

Personalized Gifts Teachers Will Love

Not sure what to gift? Here are a few favorite custom teacher gifts we’re creating in the studio this week:

🎁 Custom Tumblers – Great for keeping coffee hot or water cold between lessons
🎁 Personalized Tote Bags – Durable, cute, and perfect for carrying all those papers
🎁 Name Badge Reels – A fun way to add personality to their daily essentials
🎁 Teacher Quote Shirts – Stylish, comfortable, and full of heart
🎁 Desk Signs or Keychains – Small but powerful reminders that they’re appreciated

Each gift is designed to be both meaningful and functional, because teachers deserve the best of both.

A Teacher Who Made an Impact on Me

I’ll never forget Mrs. Warmuth my 3rd teacher. She was the first adult who really believed in me, and made me believe in myself. She helped me through the one of the toughest times of my elementary school years after losing my grandmother. I wouldn’t be where I am today without her.

If you’re reading this, think about a teacher who did the same for you. Then imagine how a custom gift might make them feel seen and celebrated.

Celebrate a Teacher This Week

If you’ve got a teacher in your life — whether it’s your child’s teacher, a family member, or someone who once taught you — don’t miss the opportunity to thank them in a meaningful way.
