Hydro Flask

Our daughter wanted a Hydro Flask for school so we bought two. My Principal husband got a hold of one and has claimed it as his own! He LOVES the Hydro Flask. The Hydro Flask keeps water cold longer. We fill it with ice and water in the morning and the ice is still there when they come home from school! This thing rocks! Principals are constantly on their feet and need to stay hydrated. The Hydro Flask comes in multiple colors so you’re sure to find school colors to make it extra special!

Pre-Packaged Snacks

Often, Principals do not have the luxury of sitting down to eat lunch. Pre-packaged snacks they can have on hand will help sustain them throughout their day.

Gift Cards

Gift Cards are always appreciated! I know, I know. You seem to be taking the easy way out with a Gift Card, but they are enjoyed!

  • Local Coffee Shop Gift Card – The Middle School Principal will enjoy stopping by for coffee in the morning!
  • Local Eatery Gift Card – Rarely would a Principal take time to go somewhere for lunch BUT they often have evening events and no time to go home for dinner. A gift card to a local eatery will allow them a quick bite to eat between school and nighttime activities.

Specialty Coffee

More than likely, there’s a coffee pot in the main office brewing some cheap coffee. How about giving your kids’ Principal the treat of Specialty Coffee?
