Teachers are our nation’s unsung heroes. Few people truly appreciate what a significant role they play in shaping our future by educating and nurturing the leaders of tomorrow. Beyond passing on their extensive knowledge and preparing learners for their upcoming careers, teachers act as counselors, caretakers and mentors, guiding and advising inquisitive young minds. They step in to care for our kids while we’re at work, often going above and beyond the call of duty by providing resources from their own pocket.
So, why not send flowers to teachers to celebrate the role models in your little one’s life during Teacher Appreciation Week or anytime of the school year? Here are some of our favorite picks to use as thank you gifts for teachers:
Sometimes called the snake plant, this gorgeous leafy green plant symbolizes tenacity, and who’s more tenacious than a teacher who has to wrangle a class full of kids? Teleflora’s Sansevieria is presented in a stylish white ceramic mid-century geometric planter supported by a dark wooden base, ideal for the educator who exudes elegance and taste.
This delightful constellation of potted green houseplants is sure to add some liveliness to any classroom (as if children aren’t lively enough). Stripey Malaysian crotons, tropical mottled dieffenbachia and West African nephthytis — also known as an arrowhead plant — all make an appearance. These plants are displayed in a charming rustic woven basket complete with a handle for easy movement around the classroom. Consider this a gift for the very down-to-earth educator — an art, music or drama teacher, perhaps?
This stunning arrangement contains several pastel blooms. Peach roses represent friendship and gratitude and light apricot roses connote caring love — a perfect gift to thank a doting teacher who cares for children! The flowers are accentuated by a mesmerizing echeveria succulent, pitta negra and dusty miller for some delicate greenery. The bouquet comes in a cubic bamboo vase. It’s a wonderful present for any educator, no matter the subject or ages they teach.
Yellow is symbolic of joy, happiness and friendship, making it well-suited to the teacher who radiates positivity. It consists of dazzling roses and daisy spray chrysanthemums, which symbolize loyalty and optimism — two qualities an educator tends to brim with. The blooms are dotted with oregonia to add some greenery. The bouquet is delivered in a delightful smiley Be Happy® mug that can be used for a giant cup of coffee, providing the much needed caffeine a teacher requires!
