Collection
Teacher Appreciation
I taught elementary school before Branch & Blooms Co. existed, so this is the collection I care about most. Every piece here is something I would have been thrilled to be given on the last day of term — personal, useful, and made to be kept rather than filed in a drawer.
The apple shaker is the piece people come back for: a layered birch apple with the teacher's name engraved across it and a clear window of loose confetti that moves when you tip it. Post-it note holders and balloon signs round out the collection for classroom gifts and end-of-year thank-yous.

Every piece is made to order. If you want different wording, a different name, or something that is not pictured here, send me a message — most of what I make started as somebody's custom request.
About these pieces
- What they're made of
- 1/4" birch plywood for signs and larger pieces, 1/8" basswood for raised lettering and fine detail. Both come from local suppliers in the Belton area.
- How they're made
- Laser engraved and cut to order in a home studio — no pre-made blanks. Nothing is cut until the order comes in.
- Personalising
- Names, dates and wording are set before cutting, so anything you send can be engraved. Want something not pictured? Ask.
- Getting it to you
- Usually 3–7 business days to make, plus shipping. Local pickup around Belton, Temple and Salado — message before ordering to arrange it.

I wish I could give this seller a hundred stars. She responded right away when I messaged about a rush order and the item came not only in time but early and the item itself was packaged so beautifully and the quality is exceptional. I highly recommend this seller! Thank you so much!
item was just as pictured! it was absolutely adorable and well made! I did make an error on the spelling for.one teacher but that was my fault. it does say to check spelling. I ended up just re-ordering it lol.
This was a very special gift for my daughter's PreK Teacher. My daughter had the best school experience with her. I just want to say Thank You so much for your talent and work!
