Teachers...a gift question
What do you love to get as a gift from your students and what do you hate to get?
I'm stumped this year as to what to get for the girls' teachers, and well, time is really running out.

I always loved the homemade gifts with a gift card attached. I have too many mugs and small plates with teacher quotes already. After awhile in my Dec. nesletter I use to request if they felt thye wanted to give a gift then a book donatation to the classroom or a B&N card was a nice idea.
Hope your teacher has no food allergies and likes that coffee place! I know she will love your gift! I would!
The joys of teaching!
YES. That would be amazing.
My Food Blog
Yes! Yes! Yes! That would be an awesome gift. I used to ask my parents to buy a book for the classroom library instead of something for me (a girl can only have so many candles and bath stuff!).
I think this is a great gift!
I don't get many teacher gifts but the best ones are GC's to dunkin donuts or a book store. I also loved a bag one of the parents made for me to bring stuff home in. I still use it from years ago.
Things I got that I didn't really care for is lotions - some of the scents I don't care for, knick knack type items - there's only so much room to put them. As for homemade food, it depends on the student - sometimes I didn't feel comfortable eating what was made.
I too agree that this would be a great gift. My favorite gifts were homemade- cookies, white trash (YUM!), and pickles. I, like many teachers, also loved getting G.C.'s to a local bookstore (preferred to a chain, but I'd still use the Borders, B&N, etc.) or we have these things called "Simply Certificates" where you can use them at a long list of restaurants, spas, cleaners, golf courses, etc. I would recommend AGAINST bath stuff, candles, anything with an apple on it, note paper or coffee mugs- as I got enough of these to open my own gift shop.
