Graduation season is upon us – with many accomplishments to celebrate. Amid all of the new beginnings, don’t forget the people who helped you start writing your life story. Gifts for your teachers, professors or even classmates can be both extraordinary and affordable with Sweettrio. Doesn’t a truly special teacher deserve more than another paperweight shaped like an apple?

What is the origin of giving teachers apples? Apples were first brought to America as a small, bitter fruit that was used to make hard cider. When the temperance movement grew and alcohol production shrank, farmers bred larger and sweeter versions of the fruit for eating. Teachers on the American frontier were often fed and provided for by their students and families – and thus the tradition of bringing apples to teachers was born. 

A Very Special Apple – No Polishing Needed

Why not keep this historic and uniquely American tradition alive when considering graduation gifts for your special teachers? Our collection of handmade caramel apples range from modern to classic, with an option for every palate. Dark chocolate, milk chocolate, classic peanut orfancy cashew – you can give a unique apple to each person on your list. Our truly gourmet caramel apples are an impressive (and edible) gift for all of the teachers that helped your graduate succeed.

Finishing an education degree? This is also a creative graduation gift idea for your college classmates, or those who mentored you in your student teaching experiences. School administrators can thank their staff for another year done will with our caramel apples – a nod to tradition with a sweet twist.
