Life Needs Intermission: Teacher Edition Home Gifts
A Custom Design from the Collection for Tired Humans
The Teacher Edition of Life Needs Intermission is for the educators who spend their days center stage — answering questions, managing plot twists, calming big feelings, and somehow keeping the whole production moving.
Each gift features a definition-style design: “intermission: a pause between bell rings, big feelings, and unexpected plot twists.” It’s real life with a touch of theatrics, made for teachers who deserve more than an apple and a quick thank-you.
Available through Applausewear in multiple colors and styles, these products are part of the broader Life Needs Intermission line from the Collection for Tired Humans.
Life Needs Intermission Pillow – Teacher Edition
When the last parent email is answered and the lesson plans are set, this throw pillow is waiting on the couch. It’s a small, well-designed acknowledgment that teachers are doing a lot — and that the intermission, when it comes, is completely earned. An excellent gift for back-to-school season, Teacher Appreciation Week, or any day.
Life Needs Intermission Tote Bag – Teacher Edition
The teacher’s tote is legendary: it holds everything and weighs a concerning amount. This definition-style bag is for that tote — the one that goes from classroom to car to kitchen table without ever being fully unpacked. Roomy, practical, and carrying a message that every teacher will recognize immediately.
Life Needs Intermission Phone Case – Teacher Edition
The teacher’s phone never really goes quiet. This definition-style case is for the educator who is thoughtful, connected, and perpetually reachable — and deserves something on the back of their phone that says so, with a little humor. A great gift from a class, a parent, or anyone who appreciates good teaching.
Life Needs Intermission Mug – Teacher Edition
Ask any teacher how their day is going and they’ll probably laugh. This mug is for them — the ones who prep on weekends, stay late on Tuesdays, and somehow make it look manageable. It carries a definition that says what the staffroom already knows, in the kind of clean design that earns a permanent spot on the desk.
