Giving him a basket filled with school supplies might sound boring, but it will actually be highly appreciated. Alternatively, you can also give him useful gadgets like this Ergonomic Precision Eraser or this Portable Projector.
  • Give him something he can use as an ornament or educational tool in the classroom, like this Levitating Globe or these motivational posters.
  • If you’re willing to spend a bit more money, you can also go for personalized keepsakes like this Vintage Engraved Compass.
