Christmas is coming up. And I’ve grown close to my foods teacher who has rheumatoid arthritis. Any ideas for gifts?

It depends to some extent which joints are affected. Since hands and fingers are often involved and if your teacher is a "foodie," your teacher may benefit by one of the kitchen utensils made by Good Grips /Oxy. Better yet, perhaps you can put this question to a physical therapist. He or she can probably make good suggestions.
Im guessing you don’t want to get your teacher a candle or gift card. You want something specifically for rheumatoid arthritis. Im not sure there is anything exciting for her disease that she will like.
Everyone’s condition is a little different, but a gentle massage or some sort of bath soak may give her some relief.
