1. A Book... No... THIS Book.

This. Book. The first time I read this book there were multiple moments where I got choked up. I cannot explain how meaningful this book is to all educators. Author Taylor Mali illustrates the love teachers have for our students and the importance of appreciating teachers. In a time where teachers are o v e r worked, underappreciated, and stress is high, this book will bring so much happiness to any teacher it is given to- I have no doubt. It is only $12.99 as an ebook and $15.99 paperback. This book will show the teacher in your life how much they truly are appreciated.
2. This Graphic Tablet

This small black graphic tablet is only $29.99, and it is so much more than just a tablet. It is a drawing pad and mouse, and honestly it's the ultimate presentation tool. (Hint: This is also a good gift for a student too!)
3. Cozy warming pillow

2020 is the year of Teacher Self Care Awareness. A cozy heat-able pillow is a nice warm hug from you to them. It also helps soothe their sore muscles after a day of typing, strained necks, stained backs or sore heels. This one is from Urban Outfitters, and at $29 they have 10 different styles to choose from. A Croissant for a High School French teacher anyone? ;)
4. ...Or A Massaging Back Pillow

This is a great gift from Urban Outfitters for teachers that are on their computers all day- or that just want to relax after a long day of standing.
5. A Live Plant

A live plant is the gift that gives back, especially when we are stuck at home. Having something to water and nurture everyday can bring a sense of routine to someone. Seeing the plant grow is also a kind way of giving a daily reminder to your teacher that your thoughts are there with them, even if we all must stay home. You can get a live plant like this one, and hey, it includes a mug! It's $25 all together and since it's from 1-800-Flowers, you can have it delivered directly to the teacher's home.
6. An Amazon Gift Card

8. A Heartwarming Letter or Video
Here's an idea: gather all the students in a class and make a video (or letter) of appreciation. There is no better gift than the gift of love. I guarantee all teachers will love this act of kindness and will keep this present forever. Each student can record themselves and their own message for the teacher, then they can be edited together to make a longer video. And, it's free!
9. This Shirt
"Education is not the learning of facts but training the mind to think" -Albert Einstein. Teachers do so much more than just reading from a textbook. Teachers inspire, nurture, and educate. Education goes beyond the classroom and textbooks. Teachers teach from the heart. Everyone grows from a teacher. "Magic starts in the mind" is Lexicom Lesson's campaign to show our gratitude towards teachers and to appreciate their reach beyond the classroom. #shopsmallbusiness Here's the link: https://www.bonfire.com/magic-starts-in-the-mind/
