Gifts Your Teachers Will Love From Companies That Give Back

While summer is very quickly creeping up on all of us, I’m a bit emotional about saying goodbye to our incredible teachers we’ve been blessed with this year. We know how our children can be (love them!!) and we know that our teachers have poured their hearts out all year helping our little ones grow and shine.

We put together a list of thoughtful gifts your teacher will love, from companies who also give back, so you aren’t running to the grocery store in the morning before school that week or having to order something on Amazon Prime the night before (been there!)

For the teacher who has been your little one’s BFF: The Little Words Project

Everyone loves a fun friendship bracelet, and The Little Words Project has skyrocketed in popularity over the last several years (thank you Taylor!) But did you know they have a special collection that donates to specific causes? Their special Teacher-Education Equality bracelet supports AdoptAClassroom.org, which supports Prek-12 teachers by providing them with essential school supplies. We love any company that helps our students thrive inside and outside of school!

For the teacher who likes to dress up a bit: Kendra Scott

Kendra Scott’s pieces are timeless and BEAUTIFUL. And they’ve made it their mission to use their platform to serve communities, especially in Texas and New YOrk. The Kendra Scott Foundation launched just last year, and they are already doing incredible things! Through their Little Yellow Libraries, they provide low-income Title 1 schools with books and resources to help children thrive and foster a love for learning. They also have a special collection that supports their foundation specifically, with beautiful items of all price points. You can find them here!

For the teacher who deserves an extra little treat: La La Land

Those of us who live close to the originally La La Land Kind Cafe were captured by its charm the moment it opened. But then their social media channels promoting kindness took the world by storm. Through their We Are One Project, they employ and mentor foster youth, ensuring they gain meaningful work experience, build meaningful relationships, and are supported in a family-oriented workplace. If your teacher loves coffee or a special afternoon treat, it’s the perfect place to buy a gift card, or even some of their adorable swag!

For the teacher always on the go: Mezcla

My picky eaters have recently fallen in love with plant-based, ethically sourced Mezcla bars (and so have I!!) They’re not only delicious, but they are made from ingredients I can feel good about feeding them to my kids. When I turned the package over to read more about them, I saw that they give to The Hunger Project (love this!!) to fight food insecurity world-wide. If your teacher loves a good mid-day snack, they’re a perfect treat to add to a gift package to help brighten their day! 

We hope you spend some extra time celebrating your amazing teachers this year!! They really do SO much for us, and showing them some extra love with a thoughtful gift is a sure way to brighten their day and let them know how much you appreciate them.

Xoxo,

Ellie
