• From Old World Christmas

Here's to the heroes of the classroom, the shapers of minds, and the givers of knowledge. Old World Christmas pays homage to this time-honored tradition with the Teacher's Apple Ornament, a sparkling symbol of gratitude for educators everywhere. This 3.5-inch glass ornament is a finely crafted piece, ripe with appreciation and resting atop a stack of scholarly books.

This tradition harks back to New England's days when foodstuffs were as good as gold, and a shiny apple for the teacher was not only a sweet gesture but also a vital part of their livelihood. Today, it stands as a token of thanks, representing the nourishment that teachers provide to hungry minds.

Each ornament is a work of art, mouth-blown, and lovingly painted, capturing the spirit of giving and the rich, red luster of a perfect apple. It's perched on books of blue and green, a stack of knowledge just like the wealth of wisdom teachers impart to their students day after dutiful day.

Whether it's for the holiday season, Teacher Appreciation Week, or a heartfelt thank-you for year-round dedication, this ornament is an A+ addition to any tree. It's a keepsake that says, ""Your work matters. Your lessons linger. Your impact is immeasurable.""

So, as the winter break approaches and you reflect on the year's lessons learned, let this Teacher's Apple Ornament be your way of saying, "Thank you for every 'aha' moment, for every challenge turned opportunity, and for guiding us through another memorable year."

Text on Old World hang tag: A beautiful, red ripe apple is a traditional gift to a favorite teacher. It started years ago in New England when teachers were usually paid in foodstuffs. This glass apple, perched on a stack of blue and green books, makes a perfect thank you gift or keepsake for a special teacher.
