Teacher Appreciation Gifts Mugs
Underpaid. Undervalued. Definitely undersupplied. They deserve better than another apple mug. Find the perfect mugs to mark the moment.
Why Mugs for Teacher Appreciation Gifts
Your coffee mug is the first thing you reach for every morning and the last line of defense against losing it in the 9am standup. A good mug doesn't just hold your caffeine addiction - it communicates your entire personality without you having to speak to anyone before 10am. These mugs say what you're thinking so you don't have to.
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.
