Teacher Care Crate: Your Questions Answered!

I recently launched Teacher Care Crate, a self care subscription box for teachers! Here are the answers to some of your most frequently asked questions:

1. What comes in a crate?

Each month will be different, but will contain 5+ high quality items to promote teacher self care. For example, January's crate contained a homemade lavender bath bomb, an art print, a mini air plant, a handmade beaded mantra bracelet, organic dagoba chocolate, and stress relief tea. Each box will contain at least one handmade item, and often more! I always make an effort to keep the contents natural and/or organic when possible. 

2. When will I get my Teacher Care Crate?

I ship the crates between the 15th and 17th of each month. If you order before the 14th of the current month, you will receive your next first between the 17th and 22nd of the current month. If you order AFTER the 14th of the current month, you will receive your first crate between the 17th and 22nd of the following month.

3. Can I buy just one Teacher Care Crate?

Short answer: yes. Long answer: The platform I use, Cratejoy, is set up for subscriptions. So, to get one crate, go ahead and sign up for a subscription, opting to just pay for one month. Then just make sure you cancel before the auto-renew date on the 25th of each month. 

4. Is the Teacher Care Crate a good value?

Short answer: yes. Long answer: You are never going to receive a box that is worth less than what you paid for it. Often, by working with sources and making products myself, the items in the box are worth significantly more than the subscription cost. For example, the retail value of the February crate is $37. That being said, this box is meant to promote teacher self care, so my focus is providing high quality, relaxing items rather than bargain basement prices.

5. Is the "Be Gentle" print still available?

I'm so happy you all loved the "Be Gentle" print that went out in January's box! I'm happy to send a digital download for free to any current subscribers. Just email me at thedesignerteacher@gmail.com letting me know you'd like one! 

6. Can I contribute to Teacher Care Crate?

I am always looks for high quality items and designs for future crates. I especially love including teacher-makers! Email me at thedesignerteacher@gmail.com so we can discuss!
