Re: Teachers
Kindergarten - I bought a warm, cozy blanket from Target and gave her that with a cute note that said: "For a Long Winters Night"
1st - I made batches of fudge brownie cookies and put them in a cute Xmas tin, added a bag of Starbucks holiday coffee on top, and wrapped it up in cellophane with a bow.
2nd - This year I am giving her a homemade "vanilla basket". I make my own vanilla extract and vanilla sugar so in the basket will be: a small bottle of vanilla extract, a small mason jar filled with vanilla sugar, 2 fresh vanilla beans in a glass vial, a small package of homemade vanilla bean sugar cookies, and a small vanilla scented candle.

I am thinking of going the giftcard route, along with hand sanitizer from Bath and Body Works.
I'm staying away from baked items as I know she has a peanut allergy.

Re: Teachers
I'm a teacher and I have kids that are school aged...I have pretty much always gone the gift card route for my kids' teachers or bought a piece of jewelry or scarf if I know their style well...I personally don't give anything homemade because many teachers I know, myself included, don't eat anything that has come from a student's house, unless I know them personally.

Re: Teachers
I'm going to give gift cards! I know from working in daycare that teachers like gift cards best. I may get something cute to go along with it but mainly GC.

Re: Teachers
Last year there was a class gift- we all kicked in for a gift card so it was easy. The two years before, I made donations to the Newtown Memorial Fund in their honor. Both years I got very nice thank-yous in return.

Re: Teachers
Usually Gift Cards - I only give homade baked stuff to friends/family -
I personally wouldn't eat anything if I didn't know the person it came from well -
My son's K teacher last year bonded w/ him over Hockey (her young son also played) and her family was Islander fans so at the end of the year he gave her a big bag full of Islander themed stuff - but unless I knew something like that, I'd stick to the Gift Cards

When I was teaching, one of my students gave me bottle of whiskey and a flask. I guess his mom thought I could use a drink after teaching her son!!

I usually do a gift card or contribute to the class fund then attach a little something extra with it.
I've done gift bags with assorted hand sanitizers (the teacher really appreciated this with all the germs)
Lolita wine glass - Teacher saying
I wouldnt' do anything homemade.
You can't go wrong with a gift card especially to places like Amazon or B&N

I usually do gift cards. I have done Vera Bradley cosmetic bags or umbrellas. Starbucks mugs with a gift card etc. I don't do anything edible because I personally don't eat stuff made by people I don't know.

I would just do a gift card-they tend to be the most appreciated.
I've never eaten anything homemade my students give me-unfortunately it goes straight in the trash bc idk how clean they are, what goes into it, etc
