Teacher Appreciation Gifts Coasters for Daycare Workers
Underpaid. Undervalued. Definitely undersupplied. They deserve better than another apple mug. The perfect coasters for the daycare workers in your life.
Why Coasters for Daycare Workers
Daycare work is chaos management meets child development. You're underpaid, underappreciated, and essential to working parents.
Every time you set your drink down, you see a little reminder that you're not alone in this corporate circus. Coasters are the unsung heroes of desk accessories - functional, unassuming, and now finally funny. They protect your desk from water rings while protecting your psyche with a well-timed joke.
About Teacher Appreciation Gifts
Teachers spend their own money on supplies, manage 25+ personalities at once, and somehow teach the next generation while dealing with budget cuts and endless standardized tests. They've seen kids eat glue, mediated playground drama, and stayed late to help struggling students. Teacher Appreciation Week (first full week of May) is our chance to acknowledge that these people are doing impossible work for not nearly enough recognition or compensation. Skip the generic stuff—they've seen enough apple-themed gifts to last a lifetime.
