Sailstar LED Desk Lamp with Wireless Charger and Pen Holder

This lamp doubles as a wireless phone charger and a pen holder, making it ideal for small desks. With three color modes (warm, cool, and daylight) and dimming options, teachers can easily adjust the color and brightness to their liking. Plus, the neck is bendable, so they can bring it closer or farther away depending on what they’re working on and how much light they need. The base of the lamp acts as a charger that’s compatible with iPhones and Samsung phones, and there’s even a container to hold pens, pencils, scissors, and other items to keep workspaces “tidy,” according to one shopper. It comes in white, black, blue, and pink to coordinate with any desk decor. 

Bentgo Classic Lunch Box

Many teachers pack a lunch to bring to work throughout the week, and these stackable containers will make it so simple. The set includes plastic utensils (fork, knife, and spoon), a 2-cup container, a 1.5-cup divided container, and a nylon strap that holds them all together. At just 7 by 2.5 by 4.5 inches, it’s compact enough to slip into almost any tote bag or lunch box to carry to work. And the containers are microwavable and dishwasher safe, too. 

Buzzy Terracotta Mini Grow Pots

These mini grow-your-own-plant kits are perfect to add some greenery to any teacher’s desk at school or at home. With the six-piece bundle, they’ll get everything needed to start a garden: soil pellets, 2.25-inch by 2-inch terracotta pots, and assorted seed packs, including sunflower, daisy, poppy, forget-me-not, and cactus. Since the plants come in a pack of six, you can even separate them to give to multiple teachers to make them even more affordable.
