This online personal styling service is giving all U.S.-based educators a $50 Stitch Fix credit to find some new closet essentials and refresh their work (or weekend) wardrobes. Head to stitchfix.com/teachers to verify your teaching credentials and receive your unique promo code via text or email. Get your code between now and May 12, and use it before June 30. This offer works whether you’re an existing Stitch Fix customer or a newbie to the service.

  • Hotels.com

Need a vacay? Hotels.com gives educators 10% off of all of their bookings.

You’re going to need new supplies at some point, if you don’t already, so remember this for later. Teachers save 15% on purchases all year long at Jo-Ann.

  • Michaels

Educators also get 15% off any purchase at Michaels. It’s nice to see craft stores offering some savings to teachers who often pay for their classroom supplies themselves.

  • Headspace

If meditation is your jam (or you think you might need to try it), the Headspace app offers free access to K through 12 teachers so you can find your zen.

  • Samsung

Do not pay full price for your tech, teachers. You can save up to 30% on laptops, tablets, and other items on Samsung.com.
