Top 5 Gifts For Teachers
1) Three Brass Bird Ornament Set
A beautiful brass bird decoration kit to hang from your houseplants, bookshelf, or window. Simply fold, hang, and admire the birds gently rotating in the breeze.
2) GeekHeat Personal Ceramic Heater
Ward off chills with a mini space heater that is perfectly sized for just-for-you warm-ups. The ceramic heater helps keep you comfortable in places like your desk, bedside, or just about anywhere when you’re feeling chilly. All heated up? A built-in fan can cool you back down and will automatically turn on if the heater gets too hot or tips over. The LED light will flash to give you a warning, too.
3) Quoridor Wooden Strategy Game
Quoridor is a game of strategy that sounds simple enough: make it to the other side of the board. But with each turn, your opponent can move a pawn or position a wall to slow down your advance. Made of colorful, durable wood that’s equally inviting to look at or play.
4) Book Themed Lightweight Scarf
Wrap a book lover (maybe that’s you!) in a literary scarf bearing the words from a classic piece of literature. The square scarves are handcrafted in Oregon with screen-printed text that’s heat-set to help prevent fading. Each scarf beautifully celebrates a book or poem in soft, durable, and lightweight cotton jersey.
5) Nylon Tri-Fold Slimvelope
Big Skinny: Slimvelope Tri-Fold - Ocean Blue
