Description
This wooden pen pot is shaped like a bright red apple, with a green leaf and a brown stalk at the top. It carries the cheerful words "Teaching is my Super Power" across its front in pale lettering, framed by small sparkling stars. Two apple-shaped panels stand at either end, the back one a plain red silhouette, with an open-topped box set between them to hold pens, pencils and other desk essentials. It measures 15cm high, 15cm wide and 8.5cm deep, a neat size that sits beside a laptop or a pile of marking.
We think it makes a thoughtful thank you gift for a teacher, whether it comes from one pupil, a whole class or a grateful parent. The message on the front says what so many families feel about the people who teach their children. The apple is the classic token for a teacher's desk, so the meaning is clear the moment the wrapping comes off. It suits a classroom desk, a staffroom shelf or a study at home, wherever a teacher keeps the pens they reach for every day. Because it is useful as well as cheerful, it earns its place long after the thank you card has gone into a drawer.
The pot is made from wood with a smooth red finish. It sits flat on its base, so it stands on a desk or shelf without needing a wall. The open top makes it easy to drop in a handful of colouring pencils or a few biros and lift them out again without fuss. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it with a damp cloth and dry it straight away. For a gift with a personal touch, fill it with a bundle of fresh pencils or a favourite pen before you wrap it, then add a handwritten note to finish.
