When making Teachers Day gifts, it is best to choose some items that are very practical in daily life. For example, a pen holder is great, and students themselves often use pen holders, so it is also good to make one for yourself. You can keep some of the leftover metal cans at home, and then together make a small basket-like pen holder like this, which is exquisite and beautiful, and most importantly, it can hold all kinds of stationery.
