    We did a teacher’s ink stamp kit that she can use in the classroom. We found a fantastic kit at Big Lots. It included stamps like..Great Job, Check Spelling, Nice Writting, WOW and so on.. I think there was like 30 stamps with ink in this pack for 10 bucks. I got three of them for all my kids teachers.. Thats 30 bucks for three gifts and not just one.

    WOW, $30 is a lot to spend on a teacher. Get her a gift card so she can get what she wants.

    They have a teacher ornament at Hallmark this year for $10. I thought it was really cute, and since this is the first year my daughter’s teacher has had her own class, I thought it would be a great gift because it’s dated 2007. If not that, how about a gift card for a manicure or pedicure or a place that does massages? One year I gave my daughter’s teacher a Gift card to a place in which she could go and make her own custom lotion, color, scent, etc. She loved it.

    I agree that $30 is an awful lot to spend on your teacher. Though one year, I gave my daughter’s teacher a small gift and then a fairly large gift card so that she could buy stuff she needed for the classroom, and she did buy for the classroom and was very, very appreciative.

    I would say a gift card like a visa so she could use it anywhere.

    My sister is a teacher. She begs her kids not to get her anything. She doesn’t need 45 mugs, boxes of crappy chocolate, bad smelling perfume, etc.

    If you feel you HAVE to get her a gift, get her a gift card to a teacher’s store or at a spa. Getting a teacher a knick knack is doing them no favors at all.

    kinda depends on what they like but if it’s a female teacher buy a nice ornament or something
    Male teacher’s are a little harder to buy for… so I’m going to go ahead and assume it’s a female teacher for my own convinience… good luck :)

    A gift card for under $30 to a grocery store would be nice -and needed. Teachers just don’t make enough money. You know the teacher needs to buy food anyway, and this gives him or her a choice of what to buy- be it fancy wine, feta cheese, or several extra packs of burritos.

    A gift certificate to somewhere, especially a teacher supply store. A box of a zillion stickers–not the little teeny tiny dot ones, though. A subscription to Mailbox magazine. (Go to or Google it. It will show all the magazines, including the ones they have for kindergarten teachers.) Please don’t give a Christmas mug! My father still has the 20 or 30 odd mugs I’ve gotten over the years. No ornaments, either! He also keeps the box full of teacher ornaments I’ve gotten through the years that went up, on the rec room railing once.

    As a teacher…I can tell you what isn’t a good gift. Do not get your child’s teacher a mug. I have so many mugs that I have had to give several away due to lack of storage for all of them. I appreciate things that I can use in the classroom. I love decorative notepads or seasonal note pads. As a teacher, I write notes all the time to parents, office staff, and other teachers. Believe me, the teacher will appreciate that gift.

    My sister is a teacher and the presents she appreciates most are those ones made by the children: some little object made by your daughter will be more valuable than something you have bought. You can make something to wear as a necklace, a picture, anything. Teachers appreciate the time and work their pupils had dedicated to them

    My son is 6. Last year I got his teacher Bath and Bodyworks gift set. She liked it. They have them right now for between $15.00-$20.00. ( I just left there) This year I got his teacher a bathrobe. I also like the Christmas Ornament suggestion. That’s a really good one. How about an ornament shaped like an apple?? That would be cute.

    Give the teacher a gift card to a local store or restaurant or movie tickets.
    I went to a school once where all the teachers were holding a yard sale. EVERY teacher had stationery sets, lotion sets, stuff that said A+ Teacher and candles all new and still in the packages. My sister asked, What are those? Gifts from the kids? one teacher rolled her eyes and said, You know it!

    Signature note cards. Teachers are always writing alot of Thank you notes at the holidays and last year I gave my son’s teachers thank you note cards with their initials on them and they LOVED them…I bought mine at Michaels for a 1.00 a piece, or you can find them at JoAnn Fabrics too. Then I enclosed a gift card to Dunkin Donuts as well.
