Class Dismissed | The Teacher Retirement Whiskey Glass
Thirty years of first days, last days, fire drills, parent conferences, and papers graded at the kitchen table long after everybody else clocked out. Our "Class Dismissed" Engraved Whiskey Glass finally rings the bell — CLASS DISMISSED across the front, their name, years in the classroom, and retirement year engraved on the back of 10.5 ounces of heavy clear glass. Empty it and the bottom delivers the sentence they've earned: RECESS FOREVER.
Designed right here in Kentucky by Bluegrass Gifts and custom engraved to order.
Why This One Hits Different
- It's Funny Without Being a Gag: CLASS DISMISSED and RECESS FOREVER land the joke, but the engraving is clean enough to sit out on a shelf.
- Three Sides, Three Moments: The bell on the front, the career on the back, the payoff on the bottom.
- Their Years, Counted: Thirty years in the classroom deserves a number engraved on something permanent.
- Engraved, Not Printed: Cut into the glass, so it can't wash off.
- Heavy in the Hand: A proper 10.5 oz on-the-rocks glass.
- Free Shipping, Always: On every U.S. order.
The Technical Specs (The Nitty-Gritty)
- The Glass: 10.5 oz (310 ml) on-the-rocks tumbler, clear glass
- The Method: Permanent engraving — etched into the surface, not printed on it
- The Surfaces: Front, back, and bottom, all three engraved
- The Care: Dishwasher safe, top rack recommended
- The Turnaround: Engraved after you order; 3–7 business days to your door
What to Engrave
Three things: full name, years of teaching, and retirement year. If they'd rather be remembered by subject or school, put that in the name field — we engrave exactly what you type.
Who This Lands For
The teacher retiring in May, the principal finally handing over the keys, the coach who's done their last season. Right for an end-of-year staff party, a class gift the parents go in on together, or a quiet thank-you from one family. For other careers ending the same spring, the Retirement Gift for Men glass puts their years big on the front.
