Question for teachers (elementary)

Do you give your class moms gifts at the end of the year? If so, what?

I usually do candles/lotion for either Xmas or End of the year... but I want to do something different... not fond of a gc... don't want to spend more than about $20...

I'm not a classroom teacher, but my friends who are only give their class moms something if they've actually been helpful, which, isn't always the case. They usually give them a basket of stuff from bath and body works or candles, something like that.

I have been trying to thnk what to get my class moms also. One of the teachers I work with gives her mothers a tote bag with summer stuff in it- towel, hat, book, sunscreen, inexpensive flip flops, etc.

You know where is perfect to get all this stuff right now, Jo Anne Crafts. They have the cutest beach bags on sale for under ten bucks, and flip flops are 2 pairs for 3 bucks. Plus tons of other summer stuff on sale.

I've given really nice stationary sets, flowers, those awesome boxes of greeting cards for all occassions (I am obsessed with those, they are so convenient) I've also given Barnes and Nobel gc with a fancy bookmark. I'm not sure what i'll do this year, I've been thinking about this too.

Re: Question for teachers (elementary)

I hate giving the types of gifts that I hate to get... thats my problem. I don't know about you guys but by the time the end of the year is up I could open my own lotion/candle store! Chat Icon I am going shopping this weekend- hopefully I'll find something!

My other idea is to do a movie bucket, fill it with candy and a small gift card to Blockbuster... But you never know who eats candy anymore! Chat Icon

Re: Question for teachers (elementary)

I usually dont give anything to the class moms because ALL the moms go up and help out throughout the year.. but also becuase I have to buy for 1) the teacher 2) the teachers helper 3) my sons extra help math teacher 4) the principle 5) the bus driver.

Its just so much...
