How to choose
- Modal, cotton and linen blends are soft, light and usually machine-washable.
- Infinity loops stay on while bending over desks and don’t need retying.
- A cheerful print feels like a thank-you; a neutral is safer if you don’t know them well.
- Many schools suggest a modest value; $20–$35 buys a lovely handmade piece.
- Classes can pool for a nicer wool scarf for a winter holiday gift.
Skip these
Skip delicate dry-clean-only silk unless you know they love it, and avoid long dangly fringe that catches on everything in a classroom.
