Ideas for a Parents as Teachers gift?

Question

My daughter and son are in Parents as Teachers and we would like to give her a gift, is there a good ideas you have on giving a teacher a gift besides an apple?

Answer 1

Several of my friends are teachers.  They hate the normal teacher stuff such as apples, mugs, erasers and such.  Each and every one of them say that.  I have been instructed by them to never, ever give that stuff to a teacher.

I just gave my daughter's teacher a gift certificate ($10.00) to Chili's restaurant.  She seemed to really like it and I believe she will use it.  She told me I could not have gone wrong there.  

I think restaurant certificates and such are cool.  I don't know how much you are willing to spend, but I think that would be a nice gift.  Now you can buy them almost anywhere too.  I bought mine at Walgreens.  Just a thought....

Good luck

Answer 2

See if they have "wish lists". Where my kids go to school the teachers make up wish lists and they are posted in the schools lobby.

Answer 3

I second Ann's suggestion. Go with a book, or, better yet, a gift card to a local bookstore so the teacher can self-select.

Answer 4

Just give her a gift card to a fancy or normal place

the teachers love that stuff!!!

Answer 5

I work as a teacher's aid for kindergarten and the teacher's love gift cards for Staples or someplace where they can buy school supplies.

Answer 6

If you want to get something just for her, get a gift certificate to a nice spa or hair salon.  This would be more for a Christmas type thing.  If you don't want to spend that much, a gift certificate to a bookstore or a teacher supply store.  That way she can get what she wants.  Hope this helps.

Answer 7

As a teacher, gift cards to bookstores are great!

Answer 8

a gift certificate is the best.....good luck

Answer 9

Best gift I think you can give a teacher besides an apple is a book.
