Gifts for Coworkers - Mugs for Teacher Aides
You do everything the teacher does with less recognition and less pay. You're essential and everyone knows it except the people who set salaries.
Why This Works
Teacher aides make classrooms actually function. You handle the one-on-one, the meltdowns, the behind-the-scenes work. These stickers see you.
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.

Things to Consider for Coworkers
- *Remember: anything you give might end up on their desk where your boss can see it
- *Avoid inside jokes that require explanation—if HR asks, you want plausible deniability
