Our home is mostly screen free and the tonie box has been our best investment. He got it for Christmas when he was 2.5. Every holiday he normally gets a new tonie (Easter basket, boo basket, stocking stuffer, birthday). I LOVE how these can grow with his changes. Our daughter is almost 11 months and she’s already learned how to use it herself. She picks her own tonie out & puts it on. I can’t wait for her to get her own and girly tonies 🥹 so worth the investment 🫶🏼

My favorite items to keep in my car, as a mom of 2 under 2!

The best teacher appreciation gifts are heartfelt and practical, and generally fall into one of two categories: something that can be used in the classroom to enhance students’ experiences, or something that expresses gratitude for a job well done. And don’t underestimate the power of a note of thanks paired with cash in the form of a gift card. After all, teachers often spend their own money on supplies for their classrooms, and there’s a limit to the number of coffee mugs or candles one person can use. Our advice: Avoid items that a teacher may already own or things that are over-the-top expensive, which can fall into an against-school-policy gray area unless you pool resources from multiple parents or families.
