I found some great (inexpensive) gifts at both Joann's Craft Store (they had some cute little bears, snowmen, gingerbreadmen and moose for $2 each) as well as at Walgreens Drug Store (they have some very cute stuffed snowmen ornaments $1 each). Little crafty looking items are cute, suitable for everyone, and inexpensive. Teachers also appreciate something that is just for them... they give all day to others- it is nice to just have something for themselves. In the past I have given things like a mug, with hot cocoa mix and marshmallows, a microwave popcorn and a gift certificate for a movie rental. The dollar store is also a great place for inexpensive gifts ideas.

Go to your local dollar store (where everything is a dollar) Buy a bin that could be reused or a basket. Fill w/supplies that the entire class could use. Include coloring books, stickers, erasers, prizes or ribbons. For teacher- You may throw in a festive mug w/packets of hot cocoa or chamomile tea and cookies. Usually they sell see through wrap and bows w/ties. Just an idea.

Sometimes it's difficult to purchase candy/food gifts for people, as I always worry about alergies or diabetes etc.

But if you do purchase a food gift, Lindt chocolate always goes over well! It would be a nice time with your daughter to decorate a few bags together with markers, glitter, etc and then split a bag of chocolates or a batch of cookies among the bag. This would not only take care of getting the gift ready/wrapped, but provide you with a little extra fun time with your girl.

As for non-food items, ornaments are nice!! Seasonal fun.

I was a teachers aide at a preschool, and the most wonderful gift I got was a handmade card with homemade cookies. But what made them wonderful to me was that they came from a child who I honestly thought hated me.

Write a note to each teacher to tell him or her the impact of their contribution on your daughter's life.

Make a donation to a children's charity in the name of the teachers.

If you have a trader joe's near you, their chocolate truffles are wonderful - wrap some in a cellophane bag with a pretty bow and a nice note.

I'm making gingerbread biscuits and truffles as school gifts. It'll take me about and hour and a half to make enough for 5 people. II've saved up large jars, and I'll decorate them with ribbons and bells so they look pretty.

you may evaluate a present day card or in case you have the choose to make it greater significant you additionally could make a present day in a jar. right here is what you may desire to try this. Mason Jar Ribbons & a bow components to fill the jar with (ex: components for soup, truffles, cookies, espresso, cocoa, chili, etc.) All you do is fill the jar with the components, in layers. Then, beautify the jar with ribbons and a bow. place a card on with training on a thank you to coach the recipe. it somewhat is it! you're finished. it somewhat is one present it somewhat is particular to be a brilliant hit with the instructor.

Travel mugs, gift certificates to restaurants; talk tot he teacher a bit and find out what her hobbies are and get her a gift certificate that reflects that. Ummm, massage gifts certificates are great too.

Inexpensive plants are always appreciated - something they can put in the classroom. I am a teacher, and I love getting plants. No need to replant after purchasing; just tie a pretty festive ribbon around the pot it came in.
