Teacher Appreciation Gifts
She Deserves Better than a Gift Card
You've been in her classroom. You've watched her love your kid on the hard days. You want to find something that actually says thank you—not something that says "I ran out of time."
Jess is an Indiana watercolor artist who paints everything by hand—florals, botanicals, faith-forward art—and turns those original designs into tea towels, art prints, tote bags, shirts, and more. Every teacher gift in this shop started as a real painting. Made by hand. Made to last longer than a candle.
This is where you find the teacher appreciation gift that actually feels like appreciation.
The Teacher Gift for
Every Moment
End of Year Teacher Gift
It's the last week of school. You've got one shot to say thank you for an entire year. A hand-painted tea towel is the gift she actually takes home, uses in her own kitchen, and thinks about on a Tuesday morning in July. Not a mug. Not a candle. Something real.
Christmas Gift for Teacher
You don't have to wait until May to say thank you. A watercolor tea towel or art print is a Christmas gift she'll actually want—something for her home, made by hand, that shows you thought about her as a person and not just a title.
Teacher Appreciation Week Gift
Teacher Appreciation Week comes fast. If you're looking for something that stands out from the pile on her desk—a hand-painted art print she can hang in her classroom or take home for her wall is the one that will.
Class Gift for Teacher
Pooling money from the whole class? A watercolor tote bag or a framed art print is the group gift that actually looks like one. She'll carry the tote to school every day. She'll hang the print and think of that class every time.
Made by Hand. By One Person. For the People Worth Thanking.
Jess is a mom of two boys, a minister’s wife, and an artist who made a vow in art school that she'd never give up creating—no matter where life took her.
More than ten years later, Art and Home co. is still here and growing. Still hand-painted. Still made by one person in Indiana who believes that beauty is worth making and worth giving.
She creates because she has to. And somewhere in the making of something beautiful, she believes we catch a glimpse of who God is—because He called us to create too.
That's what's behind every piece in this shop. Not just a product. A little bit of what it means to be made in His image.
