Moms or Teachers - End of year thank you gift for teacher?

So.

Will's last day of school is next Friday. He's got a teacher (female) and two aides (one male, one female) in his class.

This week *is* teacher appreciation week, and we have already contributed gift cards to the PTO to be distributed to the teachers in general at the school.

I want to do something for his teachers for next week, but I have no clue what. For Christmas, we did B&N gift cards.

Ideas?

ETA: Do I need to do something for the freaking bus driver and her helpers as well??

I like privacy. A lot.

  • until pinterest, i never realized how intense / serious it was to get teachers gifts all the time.

  • I was thinking of doing Starbucks gift cards.  I did it the same thing for Christmas.

    I've seen some stuff on Pinterest, but I don't have time to make anything. I want to be able to go buy something and be done. lol

  • I got cute tote bags on Cafepress.com flash sale last night.  They were $10 and lots of really cute designs.  I don't know what I am putting inside. But we are doing cards for them too.

    We have 2 teachers, 2 aides, 1 PT aide, 1 yoga teacher, 1 music teacher, 1 physical activity coach....so its CRAZY with all these gifts!!

    ETA:  We did Target gift cards and homemade bread in ramekins for Hanukkah (one teacher slipped and said they get lots of Starbucks because its hard to shop for virtual strangers...just a thought) I did get the dance teacher Starbucks though, so I am a sheep too. lol

    The truth is teachers hate these gifts and would rather the gift cards.

     

     

    Also, one time when I was directing summer camps a mom who worked at my favourite local bakery brought us in a parcel of their treats.  That was the best thing ever, because it was seriously the shittiest of camp weeks.  And we knew her, the bakery and could trust the food was not only delicious but safe from creepiness.

    Okay, gift cards are appreciated, but would that be lame seeing as how the PTO solicited three gift cards from every family for teacher appreciation week, which is this week?
