Teacher's Day
Options
So teacher appreciation day is coming up, and I was wondering from any teachers on here, what are some good teacher gift ideas. My boy is in preschool right now.
Last year I did a Mara stoneware coffee mug stuffed with 2 Choco Love chocolate bars, other random candies, starbucks instant coffee packs (flavored and plain), an assortment of colored sharpie markers.
(I know, I go a little nuts with these small type gifts.....heck, Halloween was paper bags made to look like pumpkins stuffed with about $2 worth of toys and candy......valentines bags this year are heart decorated paper bags filled with assorted chocolate hearts, a sucker, gummy hearts, hard candy hearts, and hand made heart name tags for the front of the bags....I just can't help myself.....it's a compulsion)

All of those sound amazing and I would appreciate it so much! From my experience, you can't go wrong with good supplies (e.g. sharpies (!), dry erase markers, etc.), coffee and gift cards.0

What sort of supplies?
I was thinking of doing a supply box (along with coffee and chocolates Can never have too much coffee and chocolate)0 -
Maybe some school supplies he/she can use around the classroom.
Or candles. You can never go wrong with a good-smelling candle or two0 -
What I like the most is supplies. Tissues, sanitizer, santizer wipes. I know I'm weird.
I don't like Coffee.0 -
I had no idea...

When I was interning in a first grade classroom, my mentor teacher was dieting so she gave me all her fancy valentine's day candy! =D I've heard a lot of teachers say they like gift cards because then they can get specific items they need for their classroom or ask neighboring teachers if they have heard your son's teacher mention anything they want. That be such a great surprise! All in all teachers love any bit of appreciation they can get even if its a note and a small snack or something.0

Once somebody gave me a melon at Christmas. I laughed at the time but would be extremely grateful now!0 -
Anything you do will be appreciated. I taught high school so I didn't get a lot of parents doing that sort of thing, but when they did it was awesome. I second chocolate/coffee, and I was an art teacher so any kind of supplies. I really appreciated supplies like colored sharpies and big erasers. But again, any sign of appreciation is going to be well-received.0

Definitely gift cards: to Starbucks, Amazon, a local indie bookstore. I am the proud owner of 23 Starbucks gift cards. . . when I visit my daughters in San Francisco, it can always be my treat when we are out shopping.
And I always want books for my classroom library more than anything else. So funds to add titles to the library are more than welcome.0 -
if you're in America, a bullet proof vest!0

In my school district all the teachers drive better cars than I do, so they can get me something.0

My students always seem to give me Starbucks cards in small amounts and I am VERY appreciative. :happy:
Chocolate is always great, too! However, I don't expect anything, so any little token of appreciation is nice. I keep all of the cards in my "smile file" and look back at them every now and then.0 -
that's so sweet of you to ask! Why can't all parents be like you. In the past I have appreciated gift cards or a $5 iTunes gift cards are thoughtful. I've also received a lot of monogrammed purses and such.0
