Any teachers in the Garden? Opinions on teacher gifts... - Page 2

When working with my true degree-- I am a interpreter for the hearing impaired...I have received everything from ornaments to paper weights...ti gift certs. to resturants...Teachers love gift cards from stores that have supplies as they have mentioned..... BUT I have 4 kids and can never afford to much---so I make a potpourri(Christmas Cinnamon) basket with a string of lights in it--when it lights up - it smells AWESOME! My daughter had a male teacher last year and we did a couple movie passes and a couple boxes of candy in a basket..He loved the idea--Told me it was unique and thoughtful...

Last year I gave my daughters teacher a 'relaxation' box with bath pearls and scented candles, matching scented soap and talc and a cool gel eye-mask. It was all little things, looked very pretty and wasn't too expensive. You could do the same yourself at the Body Shop as they usually sell little baskets that you can fill with nice smellies. Their peppermint foot lotion is lovely and the teacher would probably appreciate it after spending all day on her feet!

Most of us just appreciate that kids and parents value what you do.
I get tons of pictures drawn by the kids and I keep every one of them

My darling daughter one year gave her male teacher a thank you present with a card worded -

Dear Mr Clements, thank you for being my teacher this year, from Becky P.s my mum loves you.

Well, he is dishy!! (she'd gone to so much effort making the card that I couldn't stop her from giving it to him!!)

Ha, probably my brother...all though I had my first shot of whiskey(Wasn't really a shot, because I drank it straight from the bottle) when I was about 9...It was Jim Beam...I loved it. My brothers friends thought I was going to say it was disgusting or something, but I wanted to take another swig...

... and I did...

as far as I know, here we have the habit to make a present to the teacher and the end of the school year, that is in june.
Generally, all the families student of the class put together an amount and buy a good present, which may also be a golden necklace or earrings..
