I usually do some sort of gift card... so much easier than doing gifts.

Re: I know its early but what do you give your kids teachers for Christmas

as a teacher, gift cards are really appreciated. there is a dunkin donuts right down the street from our school, so that's always appreciated. perhaps a local business where teachers get breakfast or lunch would be good. also, places like target, barnes and noble, etc.

i also always appreciate something from the child more than anything... a note or drawing, etc.

thank you for thinking of your child's teacher!

Re: I know its early but what do you give your kids teachers for Christmas

If you have a TD bank account, you can get gift cards for $25 or more without any service charge or fee.

As a former teacher, I will say anything is appreciated, but I generally didn't hold on to the coffee mugs, tshirts, tote bags, etc. I always liked getting gift cards.

As a teacher, I can tell you that the gift card is THE most appreciated gift...other stuff (body lotions, frames, candles other than yankee) usually gets donated to charity.
