[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 87482, member: 3626"] Gift cards! I used to help in our local school. The teachers would get all kinds of things but the thing they appreciated the most were gift cards, even ones to Target and Wal-Mart. Starbucks was a big hit with one of the teachers. Jamba Juice for another. One of the best gifts I ever saw was from a mom who was broke and worked nights. She gave the teacher a personalized coupon book. In it were things like an offer to take and pick up the teacher's dry cleaning; do a grocery store run; 2 hours of photocopying; one week of correcting papers at home; etc. The teacher actually had tears. She said it was the most wonderful, thoughtful gift she had ever seen. Homemade gifts were always appreciated. I bet they would love something like that the taco mix and fixin's. Teachers frequently don't have time to cook when they get home and something like that would be wonderful. Things to not get: Lotions, perfumes, etc. unless you know for a fact this is the teacher's favorite scent and she doesn't have 20 containers of it at home. Cute things for the desk. The desks are full enough as it is. Home decor. The decor in the classroom is not necessarily the decor at their home. [/QUOTE]
