5 daycare teacher gifts...
So I was thinking that I would make each of them a package with dry beer bread mix in it, what else should I package with it. I was thinking a dip mix or a soup mix, has anyone had any successes? Of course I will make up labels with instructions for them too.
Re: 5 daycare teacher gifts...
These are daycare teachers. They make diddly squat. Get them a gift card, or better yet, cash.
As a former daycare worker and now third grade teacher, get a giftcard.
I wouldn't want beer bread....
Just a little note to the person who said they make diddly squat, I know at the health system that I work for and the daycare teachers work for they make more money than I do.
I love getting gift cards to stores that I can get stuff for my class at. I like getting starbucks and stuff too, but I always need stuff for my class.
Also most the teachers at my school will not eat homemade gifts unless they know the family outside of school.
I taught preschool and child care and I would have really loved getting soup mix. My favorite gifts I got over the years were cash, Target gift cards, and a reusable water bottle with a pair of pajama pants rolled up inside. As long as you are straying away from the mug/bath set/anything apple/homemade by your child route you're good.
As far as pay, I made jack squat when I moved to TX, but actually made decent money (for the field) when I lived in MA.
Cash, gift cards, and edibles are definitely the way to go.
i work at a preschool.... the best gift ive gotten was a bottle of wine and glass charms..... that or cash.... i personally wouldnt want beer bread IMO
Gift cards or cash if you must get something. Really, a nice card expressing your thanks for what they do for your child would suffice.
I'm a teacher, and I can't tell you how many times I've had to throw out or regift stuff students have given me. I appreciate the thought, but I don't need most of the stuff people like to give teachers.
And I do NOT eat homemade goodies as a general rule, nor do most teachers I know.
An appropriate Gift Card is $20.
As a "retired" teacher I can honestly say that I do not eat food from students unless I know the parents outside of school...and even then if it was only handled by an adult. Cleanliness is the issue. Sealed pre-packaged foods are ok like Tastefully Simple mixes or something.
Avoid mugs, "teacher" gifts, and scented items (candles, lotion...)
Our parents pool their money together and give us a gift -- and everybody contributes. (granted, this is a private school and I know this probably wouldn't work with alls chool and/or parents)
So, we get a "big" cash amount or gift card. I also get parents that want to do more and their gift cards can range in a $5 gift car all the way up to $20 or more.
I don't eat homemade stuff either, but it is more b/c I am picky.
