If you have a love of learning, chances are that you have a teacher (or teachers) to thank for it. The often-unsung heroes of shaping today’s youth, educators are vital in children’s and young adults’ lives. So, why not show your appreciation with a gift? Whether you’re buying it for a special occasion—such as the aptly named Teacher Appreciation Week—or as a thank you for a college recommendation, My Modern Met Store has a myriad of creative products an educator will love.
All teachers could use an extra cup of coffee or tea—especially art teachers, as they probably have an artistic practice outside of the classroom. In that case, the Brief History of Art mug offers a miniature art lesson printed on the mug that’s a welcome addition to their kitchen cabinet.
Is your English teacher a voracious reader? (Probably, since they are teaching the subject!) Delight them with some literature-inspired items like a classic To Kill a Mockingbird book fashioned as a stylish purse.
Scroll down for some of our favorite teacher appreciation gifts, and head to My Modern Met Store to check out the entire selection.
