Teachers - Need your help; Re: Gifts
My friend Susan is having a graduation party for having completed her Masters for teaching.
She's having it at a restaurant, w/DJ and such, and I'm bringing DH.
I was originally going to give her $$ b/c hey, who doesn't like $$, but was wondering if there's something you felt you needed when you graduated that you didn't receive.
TIA!

I'm not a teacher, but what about a nice leather briefcase that she can carry her papers and such in??

I'm not a teacher, but my FSIL likes to get gift certificates to teacher stores since she spends a lot on her room and her kids. She's a speech pathologist so she's frequently trying to find things that may help in a specific situation.

Re: Teachers - Need your help; Re: Gifts
What about a g/c to a teaching store or even Office Max/Staples? I spent a ton of my own money getting my classroom ready when I first started teaching... I'm sure it would be appreciated. You could also buy a crate and fill it with supplies for her desk too. HTH!

Re: Teachers - Need your help; Re: Gifts
I really like the idea about getting a GC to a teaching store - are there any online dealers/suppliers that are popular among the teachers?

Re: Teachers - Need your help; Re: Gifts
A few people made up little baskets for me with some teaching supplies in it- borders, a calendar, some idea books, etc which was really nice... Throw a gc for a teacher store or Staples in there as well and I'm sure she'll love it!!
ETA:
Instead of a basket maybe get a nice monogrammed tote bag from LL Bean or something... that was something I ALWAYS used. A nice big one!

LL Weans is a popular teacher store that is around. But as a teacher I would also love a staples gift certificate because I am there so often. If you talk to her please tell her once she is employed (if she is not already) to sign up for Staples Teachers Rewards!!!

Re: Teachers - Need your help; Re: Gifts
I agree..a monogrammed bag is a great idea. You can fill it with things like stationary, GC to teacher store or Staples etc, or even silly things like candy for her desk, cute pens, etc.

Re: Teachers - Need your help; Re: Gifts
I'm all about a nice bag. Like a taller one that won't fall over when you put it down. I can't even tell you how many times my bag's fallen over and out goes all my pens and (once tampons but I was behind my desk so I was in the clear)That kind of situation sucks in a HS

Re: Teachers - Need your help; Re: Gifts
I always love getting gift certificates to Weans. Every time I go..even if its for one or 2 things I end of spending a fortune.

I was going to suggest this too. There is a place called LL Weans and its great and all teachers spend SO much money there. She will be thrilled
