What secret Santa present to give a teacher

Ive been given the burden to get my chemistry teacher for secret Santa and I need ideas. I want it to be something weird, funny and memorable. Any ideas? 😬

I saw something where you can buy a 3D plastic model of the periodic table with little bits of each element inside?

Wouldn't that be very expensive though?

It depends, if everyone in the class is pooling money, and everyone gives £3, you can get £60 very easily? Or if people give £5

Even bits of the radioactive and toxic elements? Doesn’t sound very safe…

Why is this a thing anyway? many elements are not safe and some are incredibly expensive... Obviously the elements must be fake.

Obviously not the dangerous ones, they wouldn't be able to sell those to the public like that!

Please don't attack me, I was just trying to help the OP! I'm not the manufacturer, I have no idea what exact legal regulations they had to comply with.

Minus the whole periodic element saga that’s going on, how about a random 3D model of something you’ve learnt in your chemistry lessons? Would be weird as hell. Funny depends on how you do it and it would be quite memorable depending on the quality. Just don’t give them random elements lol.
