Top 5 Gifts For Teachers
1) Laser Cut Worldwide City Map
Display Minneapolis’ famous street map on your wall with this unique street map designed from a real city map.
2) Floating Flower Pin Vase
This floating flower vase creates the illusion of blossoms blooming straight up from the ground. The magic comes from brass pins in an acrylic tray that sits in the shallow ceramic vessel. Place a stem on a pin (the wider the better, like gerbera daisies—but not woody stems, like roses) and the flower will take in as much water as it needs—and stand tall in a striking display.
3) Organic Loose Leaf Tea
Rethink your cup of tea. This loose leaf tea is organic and orthodox, meaning it is hand-picked and processed according to traditional practices. It is all sourced from small-scale, non-industrial tea farms before being combined with aromatics like dried flowers, vegetables, and herbs to make for uniquely flavored modern blends.
4) evaChill Personal Air Conditioner
This evaporative cooler creates colder surroundings as it humidifies and cleanses the air around you—all in a perfect desk- or nightstand-sized package. The compact unit uses a nano cartridge that blocks dust and even prevents mold and bacteria from building up. The result is clean, fresh coolness circulated just for you.
5) 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.
