[quote=Anonymous]Maybe this should go on the school forum? Figure there's more traffic here. We are doing our holiday shopping budget soon. I don't want to start the whole money or no money debate. These teachers live in expensive neighborhoods so they aren't counting on gift cards and cash to make it through the holidays, though I understand even if you have money some people enjoy gifts of money or giftcards and if we could do that for all we would.

Unfortunately, we cannot afford to give everyone we want to recognize a decent gift card. I don't want to start a pool and make friends uncomfortable asking to chip in money. Last year on DCUM I learned that homemade stuff can scare some teachers because they worry about your kids helping bake with snot filled fingers. Don't worry, I won't give a mug or candles or something with an apple on it. We will do thank you notes too. Any ideas for inexpensive gifts that teachers actually want (teachers, assistant, PE, art, music, etc)? If they had classroom book wishlists I'd be happy to get some and I could offer to buy supplies for their classroom that are needed? Thoughts? It would be nice to get them something for them rather than supplies or maybe both? I saw someone on another thread mention hand lotion as a gift. I myself would love that because I have terrible problems with dry skin in the winter, but I know everyone has different fragrances they like and don't like.

What non-money/non-gift card gifts have you given that were a hit?[/quote]
