This is such a great list! And might I also suggest using this for teacher gifts when the time comes?! The number of lists I’ve seen for teachers that include a bottle of wine is so insane to me 🤯 Normalize not gifting alcohol to anyone!

Oh I love that idea too! I usually give teachers cash or a generic gift card (like Amex), but I also like something thoughtful like this.

I love these examples. As someone who doesn't drink and hasn't for decades, I've done the orchids and the artisanal olive oil. I've also done homemade chocolate chip cookies in a basket, hand sewn placemats and napkins, and my husband has made beautiful cutting boards and charcuterie boards. I'm excited to add the chocolates and tea towels to my repertoire.

These are all amazing ideas! Anyone who shows up with freshly baked cookies is a winner in my house.

Have you ever looked at Geometry towels? They’re now my go-to hostess gift. They are amazing. I also love their not-paper towels.

I love Geometry and own quite a few! Their seasonal prints in particular are really fun, we have some Christmas and Valentine's Day
