Top 5 Gifts For Teachers
1) Reusable Silicone Food Storage Bags-Set of 4

These reusable silicone food storage bags do a lot more than the toss-out plastic ones can—like stand up. They’re airtight and leak-proof thanks to a sealing slider, and so a great choice for storing liquids like soup and sauces. The bags have a flat bottom for easy filling and can go in the microwave, oven, dishwasher, and freezer. You can even write on one with a dry erase marker.
2) Multi-Level Adjustable Standing Desk

This adjustable standing desk sits on a surface to become your no-installation-needed ergonomic work station. It moves up and down in seconds, thanks to a spring-lifting mechanism. Five height settings help you get the right fit and the desk’s straight vertical movement—along with a small footprint—means it won’t take over your space. It’s suited for a desktop computer and has an ergonomic keyboard tray with room to spare for other workday essentials, too.
3) Puzzle Roll-Up Mat Kit

Eurographics: Puzzle Roll Up Mat Kit - Store Kit with Large Mat
4) 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.
5) Molecule Science Necklace

A handcrafted science necklace is a striking way to make a subtle statement. Molecules star in these chemistry-inspired pieces created by a science teacher. Each bears a scientifically accurate—and lovely-looking—compound in stainless steel. It’s a slyly personal piece with meaning explained in an included card. Give one as a dose of something needed or to showcase a love of all things science. Made in the USA.
