Top 5 Gifts For Teachers
1) Felt World Map
Trot the globe and pin your journey with this felt world travel map. Palomar—a family business in the heart of Florence—turns maps into décor that are both interesting and interactive. Put this map on your wall and trace your own steps or fill it up collaboratively. It’s a great conversation catalyst.
2) 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.
3) Quixo Wooden Strategy Board Game
Quixo is easy to get the hang of and an enjoyable challenge to play (and play again). The strategy game entails sliding and arranging cubes to line up in rows of X’s or O’s, even as the game board changes with each turn. Crafted of sturdy wood, it’s made to last for many rounds of play.
4) Specialty Notepad Stationery
275 sheet notepad with arrow and XOXO design in magenta ink.
5) Urban 21 Commuter Backpack
This water-resistant and travel-ready backpack will let you arrive to any destination in style—while keeping you cool under pressure. Padding on the back of the bag helps regulate heat and keeps you dry while a top hard shell compartment protects your most delicate items from a rough commute.
