Teachers, what would you like?

[s@hmommy]

After reading through the other teacher threads lately, I have a had a change of heart and would like to get dds PreK teacher a small gift, maybe in the $15-20 range. I already donate tons of supplies to the classroom (lots of paper, crayons, and scissors I go when supplies went on clearance) but I do want to get her something useful to her as a teacher. So, what would you ladies like the most? I honestly have no ideas.

A book store or pet store gc. I have classroom pets and the food and bedding adds up a lot over the course of a year.

My teacher friends all say they love GCs that they can use for themselves. To Starbucks, or for a manicure, or just whatever, a special treat.

Starbucks, Target, Amazon, Walmart cards
A good book
Restaurant cards
Dish towels (I personally HATE buying them and you can never have to many)
Unpaper towels

Big one--a donation to the education foundation in my name. My principal gets a list of the teachers who were honored, so it looks good professionally, and those that have had donations often get preferential treatment when they submit grants

Gift card and a heartfelt thank you note.

Gift card, bath and body, cute jewelry, mostly anything!

Personally I don't like candy, sweets or little trinkets that say something about teachers.

GC or handmade art or handmade gifts from the children.
