AppleABC.com – Our most popular products

Over the years, AppleABC.com Teacher Gifts & School Supplies has evolved from a small retail business, to the launching of our online presence in 2002, and now, to the relaunch of our site in 2009.  We’ve met many teachers and administrators of various experience levels, but several of our products are consistent hits among our customers of all experience levels.

1.  Metal pointer (retractable and telescoping): $7.95 (click here to purchase)

One of our most popular products is the metal retractable/telescoping pointer.  While this product was designed for educators (e.g., teachers and school administrators), anyone who frequently finds themselves presenting to a group will appreciate the convenience offered by this metal pointer.  When retracted, the metal pointer is approximately 6 1/4 inches long.  However, when extended, the metal pointer telescopes to approximately 30 inches long.

2.  Apple Identification Card Reel: $3.45 (click here to purchase)

Apple Identification Card Reel

The Apple Identification Card Reel solves a problem familiar to those who frequent conventions and association meetings.  Frequently, convention visitors must prominently display an identification card, but don’t want to ruin their clothing by pinning the card or name tag to their clothes.  This Apple I.D. card reel includes a clothing-safe clip and a reel to enable the user to pull the I.D. card away from themselves for scanning and then quickly retract the card back to the original position.

3.  Personalized Wooden Hall Passes: $4.95 (click here to purchase)

Wooden Hall Passes can be personalized upon request

These wooden hall passes offer a unique touch to an otherwise commonplace school necessity: the hall pass.  The wooden hall passes are manufactured in Texas and can be personalized upon request.  These hall passes are approximately 2 inches by 8 inches and include both a clear hanging loop and a decorative logo to complete the design.

4.  Wooden Pointers: $6.95 (Click here to purchase)

Our metal pointers have been (and continue to be) one of our most popular items.  However, we found that our customers wanted a wooden (non-retractable) pointer as well.  This wooden pointer is approximately 18 inches long and includes a decorative Apple at the base.

5.  Create-Your-Own Pass: $3.95 each or 12 for $39.00 (Click here to purchase)

Create-Your-Own Pass

Create-Your-Own Pass

A variation of the popular wooden pass and plastic pass, the create-your-own pass allows the teacher to create their own classroom pass (e.g., hall, bathroom, boys’, girls’, library, etc.) with a permanent marker.

Of course, these are just a few of over 100 items that we have in our AppleABC.com Teacher Gifts & School Supply Online Store, open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  You can also see our products in person at these upcoming events.
