Top 5 Gifts For Teachers
1) Magnetic Push Pins Pack
Magnetic push pins hang photos, posters, and other keepsakes without putting holes in them. Push the base into the wall like a regular tack, then hang your item by attaching the magnet. Arrange and rearrange as many times as you like, no harm done. The silver matte finish adds an elegant touch too.
2) Reusable Cotton Produce Bags - 4-Pack
Reusable organic cotton produce bags are simple, plastic-free alternatives to disposable plastic bags. Ideal for carrying your veggies and bulk foods, they’re also great for straining rice and nut milks. By keeping food fresher longer than traditional plastic, they’re an equally responsible and rewarding option.

4) Silicone Coffee Cup Lid
An eco-friendly replacement for single-use plastic tops, this silicone coffee cup lid will start your day right. It works with 12-, 16-, and 20-ounce-sized to-go coffee cups, making a leak-tight seal that tamps down on spills and knock-overs. This flexible lid comes with a quick-dry bag for easy transport.
5) Statement Name Plate
These funny desk name plates mimic the real thing—with a humorous or sentimental twist. The laser-etched name plate slides into a metal desk stand to prominently proclaim your office persona. Makes a fitting gift for business-bound friends, bosses, and colleagues. Made in Pennsylvania.
