    I want a day where everyone behaves and their parents send them to school with all their homework done.

    A good restaurant giftcard, a grocery store giftcard, a bookstore giftcard, an office supplies store giftcard. Seriously.

    Bear in mind, though, that any gesture from students is welcome and adored. One thanked me for writing her graduate school recommendation letters by giving me a gift basket full of soaps I'm allergic to. Still, it was sweet and generous, and beyond what most students manage to do. I simply regifted the soaps to people without allergies, and kept the kind card she wrote for me.

    On that note, even a well-considered letter or hand-written card will do wonders. Seriously. Any teacher with a heart will keep those for all times.

    Definitely a gift certificate. Most teachers have enough coffee mugs and apple decor to last a life time lol (but the thought is still apprectiated).

    I like gift cards or cash along with a card much more than chocolate (I'm allergic to it) or body wash and perfume (I'm allergic to it). I get way too many of both of those gifts, and I end up re-gifting.

    My favorite gift is a homemade card and a hug from my students (I teach preschool!).

    i'm a pupil, yet i've got given my instructors a honest few presents. My Italian instructor's husband is severely ill, and sooner or later I asked her what her well-liked poultry replaced into. She advised me that she loves swallows, because of the fact the day as quickly as they met, her husband gave her a necklace with a swallow on it, donning a letter. It replaced right into a locket. So I geared up her a swallow abode, and linked a card to it. I gave my English instructor an unique oil-pastel portray that I made; same with my English instructor's pupil instructor. for my section, hand-made presents advise ten-situations plenty greater. suited of luck, Phoenix

    Honestly a heart felt card or a letter of appreciate sent to my principal as well as myself. As far as material gifts...gift certificates to restaurants, movie theaters or the DOLLAR TREE!!! Thanks for thinking of us teachers. :-)
