Gifts For The Teacher

If you want a gift for the teacher you can have a big range from something personal to something practical.

I love giving earrings or necklaces as a gift.  I don’t need to know someone’s size and can get something dainty.  These earrings and charm by Chamilia come cute gift boxes and in a gift bag, are   Necklace: Garden Octopus. Earrings: Rose.  I love that I can give them as a small gesture and they will be deeply appreciated. They are universal enough that if a teacher doesn’t like them she can regift them too.
Caffeine makes the world go around… okay, not really, but some days it feels like it. In California it is often too hot outside to want a hot cup of coffee or tea but with Cold Brew by Community Coffee you can have the best of both worlds.  Caffeine, a cool drink and they taste great.  The Shake & Go tumbler makes it easy to drink on-the-go too.
