Although I am not a teacher in the traditional sense, I am in fact a teacher - to many students as a matter of fact, and by this point in the year we are just a little exhausted. Also, the kids are bordering on crazy. Btw, shout out to all of my teacher friends, and some extra love to teachers in childcare and after school programs. We love our kids, but that does not make or jobs easy, so it really is nice when people take the time to show a little love during teacher appreciation week. I am a pretty sentimental person so I love handwritten cards and flowers and such. I am also a red-blooded 20-something female, so I love getting gift cards too. Here's are a few places where gift cards can do me the most good:
- Bath & Body Works - hands down, my favorite place to shop. Fragrances for days - products that I will quite literally use on a daily basis.
- Starbucks - I never meant to fall in love with those caramel frappuccinos. Now, I just need them in my life.
- Amazon - the most practical gift. Also, it helps me pay for my textbooks (#StillInSchool)
- Alamo Drafthouse - my favorite place to go see movies (even though they don't let me talk)
- Fandango - for all the movies that they don't show at Alamo Drafthouse. You guys, I love movies so much.
- Target - There's a good chance I'll spend it in that addictive dollar section - so many cute things!
- Darden - or really any good restaurant. It is no secret that I enjoy good food.
- Yumilicous - I love a cold and sweet treat. The vibe in there makes me smile too.
- Half Price Books - between teaching and going to school, this place is a great go-to.
- Barnes & Noble - for all the things that I won't find at Half Price Books.
There is a good chance that you don't know me, so this may not seem terribly relevant for you, but if you are reading this post, then you surely know a teacher (probably several). Be sure to show them some love, even if you only say thanks.
