Teacher Gifts

This Is Where It All Started

Hey friends. Stacie here. Can I tell you a secret?

Momma Bears Creations didn’t start as a business idea.

It didn’t start with market research or a business plan or dreams of craft shows.

It started with teacher gifts.

Let me take you back: Maddi was in school. Every year, the same dilemma hit: What do I give her teachers to show I actually appreciate everything they do?

It Started with Teacher Gifts (Not a Business Plan)

Hey friends! Stacie here. People always ask me, “When did you start Momma Bears Creations?”

And honestly? I never sat down and said, “Today I’m starting a business.”

It started with teacher gifts. That’s it. That’s the glamorous origin story.

Let me take you back to where this all began - not in a fancy workshop or with investor meetings, but in my kitchen in Enola, Pennsylvania, trying to figure out what to give my daughter’s teachers for the holidays.

What Teachers REALLY Think About Your Gifts (The Honest Truth)

Hey friends! Stacie here. Let me share a secret my daughter Maddi (who taught for years) told me:

The truth about teacher gifts: They appreciate the thought. They really do. But…

They already have 47 “World’s Best Teacher” mugs.

They don’t need another apple-themed anything.

And please, for the love of everything, no more scented candles they’ll never light because they’re allergic to synthetic fragrances.
