There are always items found in the back to school section that can be used for other purposes. I've found plastic boxes to hold different items, all kinds of other containers, mechanical pencils especially, pens, and the list goes on. I've even found items in the clearance aisle in drug stores that can be used for quilting.

We've given the teachers gift cards so they can purchase what they need. If I give a gift card, it's usually generic that they can use anywhere.
