We all know teachers do so much more than teach our kids how to read and write. They also help our kiddos grow and make sure they’re safe when we’re not around. Teacher Appreciation Week is happening May 4 – 8, 2015. Say thank you to your teacher by giving them a gift with a local twist. From jewelry to jam, and classic to quirky, we found artisan-quality, locally-made gifts (all under $15) that will show our teachers how much we appreciate them. Click through the slideshow to see what we found.

Cahuilla Mountain Farms

Fresh and pretty lavender sachets brighten up any desk or drawer. The designs on Cahuilla Mountain Farms' cotton sachet bags include silk-screened red hearts and hand-stamped lavender bunches. You can place an order by contacting Christie Lantz at the Hillcrest Farmers Market on Sundays from 9 a.m. - 2 p.m., or via phone.
