Autumn is a lovely time when the leaves turn gorgeous shades of red and orange (depending on where you live), and the weather has you pulling out those cozy sweaters and warm mugs of whatever it is you enjoy! But the fall is also smack dab in the middle of the school madness, where you are starting to figure out who your students are and what they need. It is also the time you realize you can’t possibly meet their needs as one human being, and the summer is several seasons away.
That is why you and your teacher bestie deserve gifts that remind you to slow down, laugh at everything, and most importantly, know you’re not alone in the dumpster fire that has become education. All items are from my shop TeacherMiseryShop.com!
The winner will receive TWO of each item below, to share with their most deserving teacher bestie.
All you need to do to enter is comment below why you and your bestie most deserve to win the contest and include an email where you can be reached if you are declared the winner!
Check out what you and your friend will both get:
1. Body wash, shea butter, milk bath, and shea butter lotion
Delicious cactus pear scent.
2. Do Not Disturb keychain.
3. The Hilarious ‘Rona Roundup Book!
Do you remember what remote learning was like, or have you completely blocked it out? This hilarious full-color coffee table book highlights the funniest comments and bits of student work from the weirdest time in our careers.
4. Beautiful enamel dumpster fire pin- the original!
The company 100Soft was the first to perfect the image of the adorable dumpster fire, and you will both get the pin.
5. Dumpster fire pen.
A pen that works well and reminds you that, although you are working and living through a dumpster fire, everything is fine.
6. Sparkly Unicorn Teacher Sticker.
Speaks for itself.
7. Evil Eye Tote
Some cultures believe that the image of the evil eye will reflect bad vibes onto the person who supplied it. Advertise your aversion to their negativity with this lovely tote.
8. Behold! Sticker
A classic that everyone loves.
9. Soap for Effin Meetings.
Smells lovely despite the stupid meeting you just got out of.
10. Doing my best earrings.
You are, aren’t you? Show everyone that this is the case!

My work bestie and I deserve this because we are only one month into the school year and it feels like our school is imploding. We've had 2 teachers quit, fights like crazy, numerous superintendent visits, and we're just trying to hold it all together. We'll make it through the year, we'll just need a bunch of happy hours to look forward to.

My teacher bestie and I deserve these goodies because we deal with sixth graders IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. All the attitude and sass, as well as the TikTok challenges and slang, while having to remind pubescent children how to walk silently down the hallway.

My bestie deserves these gifts because she’s working hard this year as we both figure out a new curriculum. She’s been feeling the teacher burnout, and I feel that this would put a great smile on her face and help her through at least some of this school year.
