What were some of your best gifts.
Thank you.

Re: I'm not a teacher but this is my sisters first
My favorite is a gift card to a bookstore, Target, Starbucks or something like that.
If she prefers something more tangible, I always appreciate flowers or plants. I would tell her to avoid little trinkets, lotions or doo-dad "best teacher" type things. I hope it doesn't sound awful to say this, but I get so many of those things, and the reality is what can you do with them? They just clutter your house, or you end up throwing/giving them away.
I would way rather just get a nice, heartfelt card from a student than a trinket type gift- I think it means so much more, and those I will save b/c they remind me of why I love teaching!

I agree that a gift card is the BEST way to go. Some of my favorites have been Barnes & Noble, Starbucks, and the ever popular AMEX gift card that can be spent anywhere.

gift cards are easy - but I had a mom make me cookies once...and they were GREAT! She put them in a holiday jar - I just needed the cookies!

ITA! there are only so many candles, mugs, etc. that we can handle. treating myself to starbucks or DD in the morning with a GC or a GC to a place like Staples or something is always appreciated.
