Any Time of Year Gifts

Teacher besties, where would be without them, am I right? Celebrate your awesome teammates or mentors with these funny and thoughtful gifts, any time of year (tip: a midweek surprise for no reason other than “You’re the best and I appreciate all the hard work you do” can make a big difference in teacher morale!)

6. Thanks a “Latte” for all you do!

My teacher besties and I would take turns treating each other to “payday lattes.” Attach this sweet note to show how much you appreciate that colleague who is always there to support you.
