EI Moms-Christmas Gifts?

My DS receives PT 3x a week through EI. I am wondering if its appropriate to give a cmas gift to his therapist? if so, any ideas?

Re: EI Moms-Christmas Gifts?

I think it's very appropriate. I'm getting my son's therapists at school gifts.

Re: EI Moms-Christmas Gifts?

We are getting Ryan's teacher, teacher assistants, and his speech teacher all little gifts. You don't have to spend a lot at all. For the assistants I am getting this little hot chocolate decorative thing that I saw at CVS, for $5.99, or a nice holiday Lindt Truffle tin I saw at Target. For his teachers, I was thinking a nice gift card, or maybe something else. Not sure for them yet, but something around $20 or so.

Re: EI Moms-Christmas Gifts?

I did all of the shopping last night. Here is what I got:

Ava a.m. pre-school where she gets services-

2 Teachers- $20 gift cards to Target
2 Teacher Assistants- $10 gc to 7-11
Speech and OT- $10 GC to 7-11

2 Bus drivers to school and 2 different ones for the ride home- $10 gc to 7-11

2 Teachers for her p.m. Pre-school through the town- 2 Target gc- $20

Gymnastics Teacher $10 gc to 7-11

Whew!!!!

Re: EI Moms-Christmas Gifts?

I was struggling on what to get the bus driver. I think a 7-11 GC would be perfect. Thanks for the idea

Re: EI Moms-Christmas Gifts?

I was thinking of getting DS' therapists something as well.
His speech therapist always has DD coffee with her, so, I think I know what Im getting her a GC to..LOL

The other 2 (PT and Special Ed) I may do GCs.
I know in conversation, PT mentioned she loves Kohls, just have to work on the special ed teacher to get some more ideas.

Re: EI Moms-Christmas Gifts?

I decided to give each one of them a $10 gc to Starbucks and a $25 gc through restaurant.com to a local place I picked out. We have 6 people that work with DS. I hope this is good? I'm still out of work and the $$ is a bit tight.

Re: EI Moms-Christmas Gifts?

We are giving mall GC's. It was all I could think of! We have two teachers, one DD has had for about 9 months now and a new one for about 3 months. I'm not sure if I should give them the same amount though (they both come 4 times a week). My first instinct was to give the one here 9 months a little more but they are good friends and I didn't want the new one to feel slighted if they talked about the gift. What do you think?

Re: EI Moms-Christmas Gifts?

You are all most generous! I work at a pre-school for children with special needs. Believe me when I tell you that the greatest gift you could give anyone who is working with your child is a card acknowledging the hard work they do and the difference they have made in your child's life.
