World’s Best Principal Coffee Mug
Coffee is the key to success. Maybe not the coffee itself, per se, but the caffeine. Being in any kind of education field, but especially principal, you are required to be up early to start the day, stay late to end the day, and if you can manage, have a life outside of work as well. The best way to get manage all of that is a high dose of caffeine. What better goes with caffeine such as coffee and tea than a mug that shows the world how much you are appreciated? You are a great principal and you deserve to show the world.

These were made to make it look like there is a cat going through the book; something sure to cause a laugh through the days.
World’s Greatest Principal Parking Only Sign

The perfect sign for them to hang in the office is Principal Parking Only. Buy it while it’s still cool.
Book “The Principal: Surviving & Thriving”
One of the hit shows from our generation is Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide. There are survival guides for anything from surviving the next zombie apocalypse to how to survive while raising children. What better book to give your principal than to give him a book on how to survive being a principal and dealing with people such as yourself?

Besides, principals like their office to be appeasing and comfortable and a plant does just that.
