If you can read this, make sure you thank a teacher this week
Though we sooooo appreciate our kids' teachers every day of the school year, we make a special effort to thank those special ones during Teacher Appreciation Week, which happens to be right now.

While a kind note goes far, we have rounded up a few delicious choices for your kids' favorite educators to enjoy while they read that letter.  Want something you can DIY at home and have your child hand to the teacher in class? I love The Celebration Shoppe's chevron-patterned free candy bar wrapper printables that can be customized, and would look equally cool on a healthier granola or protein bar. 


Fancypants Bakery's school-themed cookies come with enough large, adorable and delicious buttery shortbread cookies to share in the teacher's lounge. Made with no artificial food dyes in a nut-free facility, these all-natural treats are worth the splurge for that really special teacher.


In our Mother's Day gift guide this year, we featured the beautifully colored french macarons from Beverly Hills' Lette, and they make for some sophisticated teacher gifts too. Almost too pretty to eat, but thankfully we don't know anyone with that kind of restraint. If you have a local bakery that sells French macarons, grab a few and wrap them beautifully.





Finally, what teacher isn't dreaming of some lazy beach days? This Relaxation Tea from Republic of Tea is a rooibos tea laced with calming chamomile, lavender and rose, all of which should set the stage for the weekend, if not the entire summer.
