For Teacher Appreciation Week, let’s go beyond apples and give our educators a dose of real relaxation and delicious comfort. Whether you’re a parent, a fellow educator, or just someone who loves someone who teaches—these thoughtful gift ideas from Avon and Tastefully Simple are a perfect way to say, “You make a difference.”  And as a former para educator, I cannot tell you how great it felt when I got a gift for Teacher Appreciation Week.  Especially when it did not come from admin!  To get a thoughtful gift that was given to you by a parent, student or even a fellow educator, when you think that no one sees or even cares about what you do day to day. It means the world!  Educators don’t do what they do for the adulation. But when they are thanked and shown a little appreciation?  It goes a long way!

So how can you show some appreciation?  Here are some ideas for a little teacher self care along with some tasty treats!

💅 Pampering with Purpose – AVON Picks

After a day of teaching, teachers deserve more than a gold star and another coffee mug!  They deserve self-care! Here are some thoughtful, affordable favorites:

• Skin So Soft Gift Sets – Classic, soothing, and oh-so-nourishing. Perfect for bath time wind-downs.

• Mini Lip & Hand Care Bundles – Toss in a note that says, “For the hands and lips that encourage all day long.”

• Anew Sheet Masks & Serums – Because lesson plans and grading papers don’t leave much “me time,” but this gift will.
