[quote=Anonymous]We usually contribute to the group gift and then also send in a card made by the child, with his/her photo in it and a nice note from the child and from us. Sometimes we add some tiny little object chosen by the child. A doodad if some sort. Do I think the teacher "wants" lots of doodads in the abstract? No. But do I think teachers with hearts appreciate getting little things that children consider special? Yes, actually. My children also give me weird little doodads that I don't particularly want, and I am always touched. I agree, it always feels creepy to give cash or cash equivalents-- like you're tipping. I have sometimes given amazon certificates with a note saying "perhaps this will be helpful for classroom items." Maybe they actually spend it on themselves... if so, fine with me, but it feels less awkward.[/quote]
