[QUOTE="Abbey, post: 87525, member: 179"] After 22 years of teaching, I can tell you the ones I liked the best. Gift cards to [b]REASONABLE[/b] stores. The past few years I'd get ones to places like Nordstroms. Heck...I can't even walk in that store. I still have a 2 year old one to Williams Sonoma. I don't think it would buy a potatoe peeler. Target, Walmart, Mervyn's...where working people shop. My second year of teaching a young man gave me this little glass bottle of what he called 'angel dust,' with a nice note. (It was just white glitter.) He said when I was having a bad day I should sprinkle a bit on the child's head and everything would be fine. Do you know I used that same bottle for 22 years...and it worked??? [img]:rofl:[/img] The kids loved to have a few sprinkles of glitter on their head. They'd beg for it. It had a great effect and must have been quite simple and inexpensive to make. Even a nice note from the parent or child is greatly appreciated. When I cleaned out my room this fall I had many tears reading the notes I've collected over the years. I also have several pieces of handmade jewelry that I've collected. I remember where each one of them came from. Just some thoughts. Abbey [/QUOTE]
