[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With 7 teachers I was thinking of giving each a $5 Starbucks gift card. Would that be odd? Does the practice of holiday gifts end in ES?[/quote]

I teach MS in MCPS. $5 Starbucks cards are a pretty common gift. I don’t drink Starbucks, but I appreciate the thought. I give them to my daughter or sometimes homeless people.

Other common $1-10 gifts:
a single candy bar or the packages of 4 chocolates.
Scented lotion or hand sanitizer
Fancy sticky notes
Soap
Crazy socks
Candles
Gel pens
Pretzels
Asian snack mixes
Craft sodas
Tea 
Coffee
$3-5 Amazon cards
$5 Target cards
Little notebooks
Gummi bears
Plants, seeds, and bulbs
Tree ornaments
Snow globes

I can’t say this often enough: don’t feel obligated to buy something, especially if it is a strain or you feel the teacher doesn’t deserve it. However, a hand-written note to a great teacher will be treasured.

My middle schooler has eight teachers this semester. We’re giving single candy bars ($3 each) and a note to each. [/quote]
