If there’s a year where teachers have
been superheroes, it’s this one. The
holidays are fast approaching, and
as teachers have gone to infi nity and
beyond to educate their classes inperson,
remotely or both, they deserve
the royal treatment.
Looking for a practical, creative,
or thoughtful gift, or all of the
above? Here are our top choices to
thank teachers from the whole class
or their favorite student this holiday
season.
COLLAGE.COM
Collage.com makes custom photo
products that will melt any teacher’s
heart. With 50+ products to make
your own, there is something special
that’s just right for your special
teacher. Their photo mugs, personalized
tote bags, custom notebooks or
the custom magnets are by far the
biggest hit for teacher gifts. We love
the photo mugs for any teacher since
you can customize in oh so many
ways like adding text, photos and
creative class designs to the mug.
And we suggest upgrading to the
larger 15-ounce custom coffee mug
in order to help your teacher make
it through Monday mornings.
HAPPY MASKS
As 2020 rolls on, we are all doing
our best to keep healthy and safe
so gift your teachers Happy Masks.
These masks are one of the only
reusable mask companies using a
nanofiber membrane filter, aka the
gold standard in filtration efficacy.
We also love that the unique, 3-D
design leaves space between the
mask inner layer and your mouth
and nostrils, allowing for comfort
and for teachers to be heard clearly
when they speak wearing it. It is also
available in kids and adult sizes so
students can match their teachers.
ALORA AMBIANCE
Let’s face it guys, teachers needs
a break, or at least an oasis at home
to chill. ALORA Ambiance’s limitededition
holiday fragrance, Festa, is a
magical holiday blend of cinnamon
with bitter orange making it the perfect
scent to welcome the season! We
love that the warm, inviting notes
combine to set the stage for a cozy
holiday season. The signature diffusers
combine design and luxurious
scents and come in both 8-ounce and
16-ounce sizes — perfect for gifting.
Teachers will also love that this is a
family business whose products are
made in the USA.
THE SPICE HOUSE
The Spice House gift boxes will add
spice and zest to the holidays! Gift
teachers the joy of expertly spiced,
delicious food with curated spice gift
boxes from The Spice House. Our favorite
gift set for teachers is the Best
Sellers Collection. The seasonings
in this collection are their most
popular for good reasons! We love
that whether teachers are baking
salmon for a weeknight supper,
making steak for a Sunday roast, or
mixing a bloody mary for a brunch,
these rubs, salts and seasonings will
turn any dish into a crowdpleaser.
For the ultimate class gift, give your
teacher Essential Spices Collection,
the perfect gift of 24 essential spices
recommended for every kitchen.
This gift is sure to spice things up
this holiday season!
HYDRO FLASK COFFEE
WITH FLEX SIP™
Teachers need to stay hydrated
and likely caffeinated so gift them
a Hydroflask for at school or on the
go. Teachers will love the Hydro
Flask Coffee with Flex Sip™ Lid, with
its leakproof design that twists to
unlock the Smooth Flow Opening
for worry-free sipping on the go.
Quick to clean and comfy to carry,
the insulated lid works in tandem
with TempShield to keep hot liquids
hot for 12 hours, or cold for up to 24.
The Coffee with Flex Sip collection
includes 12-ounce, 16-ounce and 20-
ounce sizes that matches teachers’
favorite coffee shop. Teachers will
love that they offer home delivery
for their liquid and bean bags, and
you can gift subscription services as
well so the gift keeps on giving.
GRADY’S COLD BREW
Fill your superhero teachers’
coffee cup with the gift that keeps
giving, Grady’s Cold Brew. We love
that it is a New Orleans–style iced
coffee concentrate that’s brewed
and bottled by hand right here in
The Bronx. This thoughtful gift is
sure to give teachers a pep in their
step as they work tirelessly for their
students.
BEST TEACHERS CANDLE
TAJA Collection’s Best Teachers
Candle is for all the teachers who
teach from their heart, and not just
from the book. Celebrate the teacher
in your life and don’t forget to engrave
the lid — it’s the perfect place
for a heartfelt message. We also love
the Design Your Own Candle. When
they say the possibilities are endless,
they mean it. Want to engrave an
entire thank-you letter? No problem.
These custom candles are the light
teachers need this holiday.
GIFT CARD
You cannot go wrong with a
thank-you gift card. Gift teachers
a card to their favorite local shops,
restaurants or bookstores to help
small businesses, or consider the
universal Amazon gift card (or other
big-box retailers) to help them get
what they really want this holiday
season.
CAVIAR FOOD DELIVERY
AND TAKEOUT
Teachers quench our kids’ thirst
for knowledge so help them quench
their hunger with a Caviar Food Delivery
& Takeout gift card. Teachers
will love that they can enjoy breakfast,
lunch and dinner from their
favorite local restaurants without
leaving home, leaving time for the
101 other things superhero teachers
need to do every day.
