We have the perfect ‘Schools Out for Summer’ gift guide, to help you stock your shelves with thoughtful products your customers will certainly want to buy!
Stationery Fans:
Help the Nations teachers to get organised, ready for the start of the new school term come September with these new and innovative storage solutions from Lihit Lab. Super fun for animal lovers and stationery fans alike, our new collection of furry-friend-themed pen cases are the perfect gift to give to teachers as a token of appreciation.
Also new from Lihit Lab is the Bloomin’ collection. Jam-packed with bloomin’ good ideas to help keep teachers fashionably organised with colourful accessories to brighten up their day when it’s time to go ‘back to school’, the new items are every stationery lover’s dream and make a thoughtful yet super functional gift! Made of silicone, easily washable and light, our Bloomin collection can be used to store stationary as well as being used for travel.
This brand-new Lihit Lab collection can be showcased in a branded eye-catching counter-top displayer, at very attractive price points. The displayer is perfect to present the Lihit Lab range at your counter!
Coffee Lovers:
If stationery isn’t quite what you are looking for as a thank you gift for your teachers, then perhaps this will hit the spot…
As we all know, teachers need a strong brew or two to see them through the day, so why not treat them to a gift which is not only unique but also useful! Kafe in the Box is the ultimate reusable coffee cup. Made from a super tough Tritan™ Inner, the Kafe in the Box reusable coffee cups are BPA, BPS and Phthalate-free, while being double-insulated making them the perfect choice for hot or cold brews. Plus, Kafe in the Box slots in any standard cup holder, fits under most cartridge coffee makers and is dishwasher safe too, so they can enjoy their cup of something hot (or cold) on their way to and from school! Available in two sizes and counter-top displayer.
Something Stronger:
They say to never work with kids and animals for a reason. If your customer is looking for a gift to give to their teacher that is a little stronger then coffee to help take the edge off the day (or indeed a tough academic year), then a thoughtful gift from our Lolita collection will make the perfect present!
Through our licensing agreement with Lolita, we’re proud to offer a whole range of wine glasses, gin glasses, coupe glasses and prosecco glasses – the options are endless! Make sure you stock them all so your customers are spoiled for choice when it comes to buying their teachers a glass for their favourite tipple as a gorgeous ‘thank you’ present.
We particularly love the Wildflowers Wine Glass. With a vast range of colour depicting different shapes and sizes of beautifully bright flowers, this glass says ‘summer’ and would be ideal for teachers to enjoy a drink while sitting in the garden soaking up the sun during their time away from the classroom.
Say it from the Heart:
If you’re searching for something more simplistic and meaningful, then perhaps the understated nature of our Willow Tree range will better hit the mark.
Like all Willow Tree figurines, artist Susan Lordi hand-carves the original figure from her studio in Kansas City, Missouri. The pieces are then cast from her original carvings, with the figurines communicating their expression through gesture only. A simple tilt of the head or placement of hand allows the sculptures to speak in quiet ways, meaning its sentiments are open to interpretation by both your customer and their teacher.
Check out Just for You or Love of Learning. Whatever gift you choose to give to your teacher as a thank you present, a piece from Willow Tree is elegant, classic and a timeless reminder of the bond between a pupil and teacher.
Reach for the Stars:
Just like for teachers, all of our figurines in our Willow Tree collection make gorgeous gifts to give to loved ones if they’re graduating this summer. As the sentiments are all open to interpretation, these pieces make for truly thoughtful and personal gifts.
For graduates, we particularly love Shine. Inspired by the strength and perseverance of young winter Olympics competitors, Shine could be a complimentary piece for a special milestone reached and can represent personal goals met.
Another Chapter in their Story:
Speaking of new and exciting chapters in a graduate’s life, how about a super-thoughtful gift and gorgeous keepsake as a reminder of their passing from student into the big wide world of work, with a storybook figurine from Disney Traditions By Jim Shore?
A constant reminder to the recipient that their life is a story made up of many different chapters, of which the future is still wide open to be written, encouraging them to follow their hearts and make their dreams come true, while looking back on all that they’ve achieved and using this to help shape how they approach their future.
