Any teachers in the Garden? Opinions on teacher gifts...

Ok, I don't want to give my son's teachers yet another apple paperweight. I have a gift-giving philosophy of giving things that don't contribute to other people's clutter...IMO, most people have enough "stuff." So, I give things like theater tickets, movie passes, homemade food - that sort of thing.

My son is eleven, in the sixth grade, and has six people to whom he would like to give gifts. I had the idea of giving a jar of homemade cocoa mix, a bag of homemade marshmallows, and a tin of Three-Chocolate Spiced Pecan bark to each of them. These things are easy and inexpensive to make, and one recipe of each will make enough for all six.

My question is this, to the teachers out there - does this sound like something you'd like, or do you really truly want yet another apple-shaped paperweight?
