This year Teacher Appreciation week is May 6-12 2018. It is coming up soon so we thought we would share this cute and easy gift idea.
Are you scrambling to find affordable gifts for Teacher Appreciation Week? We have the perfect Teacher Appreciation Gift for you! I just love these double-walled cups and I made this one into an iced tea themed gift for around $5! I use these cups all summer long when I’m on the go and they wash up so nicely. You can fill them with water or any other beverage and I like that they are double-walled and don’t sweat. This one fits perfectly in the cup holder of my car too. This iced tea gift for teachers would make a great year-end gift too or if you have aids or other teaching staff to recognize these won’t break the bank. When I use this for a year end gift, I usually drop a Target gift card in the cup as well. This ships free if you spend $25 or have a Target Red Card. I started with a nice double-walled cup. I purchased this high-quality, BPA-Free cup at Bed, Bath and Beyond. It was $3.99, full price, but be sure to use your coupons! Or you could grab one online from Amazon.

They are currently selling double walled cups at the dollar tree store.
Melissa says
Thanks for the tip!!!
Heidi says
There are so many great places to get these cups. I do find that the Dollar Tree cups break and sometimes leak, but I have found new places that carry these like Walmart, Marshall’s, Ross and more.
Melissa says
That is a great tip Heidi! I will be sure to check those places for cups. I don’t want one that leaks.
