Teacher and TikToker Melanie Wood was stunned by the "unhinged" selection of thank-you gifts her school district offers employees for 10 years of service.

You know that feeling of having to laugh because otherwise you'll cry?

Well, there will never be a more reasonable response than that when it comes to signs of teacher appreciation, or lack thereof.

In TikToker Melanie Wood's school district, teachers are recognized after reaching certain milestones in their teaching, and when she reached her 10-year anniversary of teaching in her district, she was offered the chance to pick a gift from an online catalogue.

Though she wasn't exactly expecting to find a Rolls Royce or Rolex listed in the catalogue, she never could have anticipated what was actually listed for her 10-year "thank you" gift options.

Looking both baffled and a little bit haunted, Wood stated in a TikTok video:

"Today, I went shopping for the gift. And I've... I've never seen anything like this in my life, and I just feel like someone else needs to see the options that I had to choose from as a thank you for being an educator for 10 years."

She went on to say there were many more options that were equally obscure, but the video only contained some of her favorites.

Among her favorites was a replica volleyball with a handprint in a blood-red color, just like Wilson from Castaway with Tom Hanks.

Another bizarre gem was a single Yeti lid. The travel mug itself was not included, and it was not a set of spare lids. It was just a singular lid.

Finally, there was some fishing gear, including a small pack of fishing lures and a separate listing for a single Bass Pro Shops t-shirt that displayed a state other than where Wood is located, which is Missouri.

A few people appreciated the odd yet hilarious inclusion of Wilson. You know, the perfect teacher's companion.

This whole situation is a great example of how regrettably laughable signs of appreciation for teachers have become.

Never mind the actual teaching salaries. That's a whole other conversation.

Let's unpack this: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has an Instagram account over at @churchofjesuschrist. They regularly promote members of their community, demonstrating what they do, how they give back to their community, and how their religious testimony ties into their mission.

ICE Agent Who Killed Man In Maine Caught In Chilling Audio Threatening To Slit His Ex-Wife's Throat

David Brouillette, the ICE agent who fatally shot Joan Durán Guerrero four times during an attempted traffic stop in Biddeford, Maine, earlier this month, has sparked outrage after unearthed audio revealed he once left a voicemail for his ex-wife threatening to slit her and her female family members' throats.

In an interview with NPR, Ashley Brouillette shared a profanity-laced voicemail her ex-husband left on Nov. 28, 2025, shortly after she filed for a restraining order against him. The recording, obtained by NPR, captures him speaking with slurred speech before ending with a threat that she and the women in her family should have their throats cut.
