Skip the apple this year and give your favorite teacher something they’ll really love. 🍎 The Museum Store is full of thoughtful finds like charming trinket trays, fun and stylish paper clips, and other beautiful pieces from Rifle Paper Co. that are perfect for brightening up any desk. Pair it with lightly scented soaps and dishes for a little everyday treat they didn’t know they needed. Choose a sweet-scented candle to freshen up their space as well.
Not sure what to choose? A Museum gift card is always a great option! It can be used for admission, lunch or a smoothie at Nature’s Table, or a fun find from the Museum Store.
Easy, thoughtful, and way more fun than another mug…although you can find some cute mugs, too! 😏😂
