What's a good Christmas gift for a pre-school teacher?

Question

I'm trying to figure out what to get my child's two pre-school teachers for Christmas. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Please refrain from buying the "Best Teacher" stuff. Oh my. That stuff adds up. What to do with it all. Buy something practical please. Anything you would like she might like.

Answer 2

the best gift would be nothing more than the thing that pleases the teacher

Answer 3

an hour long professional message, after running around aft the little ones you need it

Answer 4

Take a group photo of all the kids in the class, and frame it. I think that would be wonderful memories for the teachers..

Answer 5

WHEN I WAS YOUNG MY MUM MADE ME DRAW A CHRISTMAS TREE ON A BLANK CARD WRITE THE GREETINGS ON MY OWN AND GIVE TO HER WITH A STAR MADE OF GLASS WRAPPED UP NICELY !!!!

WHATEVER U GIVE TRY TO MAKE IT NATURAL SOME THING THAT UR SON OR DAUGHTHER MAKES WITH HIS OR HER OWN HANDS .

Answer 6

ummmmmmm how about some new toys like dolls trucks... i have no idea!

Answer 7

ABSOLUTELY NO COFFEE MUGS!!!  Teachers get so many little dollar store finds and homemade gifts because kids enjoy getting something personal.  But try to steer your child towards making a homemade card, then choosing something practical.  I personally like antibacterial hand wash or lotion.  Teachers are around germs all day.  Gift cards to book stores, Starbucks, dinner, or movies are also nice.  They can be used and not take up shelf space.  Items for classroom use are also appreciated- gift cards to a teacher supply store, new crayons, etc.  Teachers often purchase these items out of their own pocket.  Merry Christmas!

Answer 8

My daughter's a teacher, and she loves to get personalized gifts, like a potted plant, with all the kid's names/year on the pot.

Also, restaurant and store gift certificates(WalMart, KMart,etc.) are greatly appreciated.

Answer 9

Something personal, I am a teacher and you really get tired that even outside the school people keep thinking about you as a teacher and not as a person, so buy them something you would give to a friend and if you don't fell sure a gift card it's OK.

Answer 10

I think you should get then one aquarium it is always nice in houses.

Answer 11

you don't want to get them something for school use.  They work at school all day and they don't want to know anything about it in Christmas.  Get them something they can keep at home or something they can use personally.

Old Navy has pretty nice clothes and I can definately see a pre-K teacher wearing something preppy and nice.  A gift basket could also do it.  Depends if they are men or women.  I am a Man but I have more clothes than my wife.

Answer 12

get a gift card for a food restaurant ,at lease they will have lunch  on you one day

Answer 13

Candles are always good but I get my childrens teachers gift certificates to Barnes and Noble.

Answer 14

Bubble bath. They will need to relax after dealing with all those kids.
