Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is a good end of year gift for a teacher?
A: Something for home rather than for the classroom, because teachers finish the year drowning in supplies and short on anything for themselves. A candle is the one they consistently keep.

Q: What does Flowering Lilac smell like?
A: Lilac and rose with jasmine behind them and a fresh green note that reads like air after rain. It is the most spring-like scent in the range.

Q: Can a whole class go in on one gift?
A: A single good object plus a page of notes from every student is the classic class gift, and the notes are the part that gets kept for decades. One object also spares a carload home.

Q: Is a floral scent a safe choice for a teacher you barely know?
A: A light floral is widely liked and unlikely to offend, though a green or citrus scent is even safer if you know nothing at all. Heavy sweet scents are the risky ones.

Q: Should a teacher gift be given at the start or the end of the year?
A: The end of the year is when it means most, because that is when the exhaustion peaks and the thanks usually stop coming. A gift in September is a nice surprise but lands lighter.

Q: Is a candle appropriate for a male teacher?
A: Absolutely, though the scent matters more than the object — a green, woody or citrus scent suits better than a floral one. The saying is the same either way.
