Desktop Coffee Warmer. Perfect Teacher Appreciation Day Gift

A Smart Coffee Cup Warmer (Teacher Desk Essential)
This is one of those rare desk purchases I didn’t realise existed… until I tried it. Now I own multiple. A smart mug warmer keeps your coffee genuinely hot for hours, which is perfect for a school desk (or home office) where you’re constantly being interrupted.

Why I love it
- In the morning, I set the timer to turn off in 8 hours (perfect for a full school day).
- Of the heat settings available, 158°F / 70°C seems best. The hotter setting can smell a little burnt if your mug is nearly empty.
- It comes with a mug lid — so if I cover someone’s class, my coffee is still hot when I return.
- Tip: When removing the rubber lid, drag it sideways across the top rather than lifting straight up (less chance of dribbles onto your keyboard).
A quick note on style
I chose a model that looks sensible and fits neatly on my desk. Some mug warmers are novelty designs — including ones with kitten mugs or cat-shaped warmers — fun, but not always the best fit for a busy workspace.

Teacher gift idea
Highly recommended as a teacher gift. Genuinely useful, not clutter, and it makes long days at school feel a little nicer. If you have a PTA — forward them this idea near Teacher Appreciation Week 😉
