Best pre school teacher gift

[Anonymous]

...for Christmas? Sbux gift card or target gift card? $20 for main teacher & $20 for assistant (they are both older women)?

Target if you know they shop there. Otherwise cash.

The best gift is to take up a collection of cash from all of the other parents to spare the teachers the influx of mugs and candies and baked goods they don't want. Our day care did this and it was great. But there no one cared if they put in $50 while someone else put in $5 so I don't know if that same idea works in DCUM land.

Target is better than Sbux. As for the amount, do what you are comfortable with. We give $50 per teacher.

Please no gift cards unless you are certain the teachers shop there. I hate Target, Walmart, and Amazon and have so many gift cards from there that I give away or let expire.

You can just give a Visa gift card.

Wait what? Target, Walmart and Amazon all have GROCERIES. You don't need food ever?

OP, I gave all the teachers a $50 Target gift card last year and they were VERY appreciative. They can buy wine, comfy pjs, toys for their own kids, smelly candles and lotion, bananas, tampons, WHATEVER.

What's you HHI? I guarantee if you made $30k a year you would not be throwing away gift cards to any of those places.

These come with fees attached, but yes.

I buy Lands End canvas totes on sale and fill them with tissues, unscented hand lotion, unscented hand sanitizer, sanitizing wipes, and a bag of their favorite candy or snack.

I would not gift the teacher school supplies. If's a gift for THEM. Not the classroom.

Also, I think you are full of crap. Where do you live that gift cards to these places can legally expire?
