A principal's day is part meetings, part hallway walks, and part emergencies. Their needs mix professional polish with plain endurance.
About our picks: A principal is on the move all day and signing papers in between. The walkie-talkies cover the building and field, while the pen, desk calendar and messenger bag suit the planning and meetings that fill the rest.

Gift tip: A professional-looking item for the office tends to be more welcome than a novelty gift. Buying for a coworker? See coworker gift ideas or Secret Santa ideas.
