[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most teachers are practical. The original question was pretty much asking what is not a practical gift for you. It doesn't speak for all teachers.
 It doesn't mean that teachers are not appreciative. It doesn't even mean that teachers expect presents. What it asked was in your experience what is a gift that you receive that you don't find useful. What do people keep twisting it around? [quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do people assume teachers need hundreds of dollars worth of Starbucks?

Amazon. [/quote]

I received both and was very happy that I did.

I don’t understand teacher dissatisfaction with GIFTS. From STUDENTS-people who don’t have to give you a damned thing!

I did get an over abundance of chocolates. I won’t be able to eat it all in a year. Nor will I try. But I appreciated the hell out of the thought.[/quote][/quote]

The question was asked. What do they not want?

We have my DS’s teacher’s gift cards for Amazon. I don’t want to give something that won’t be used.[/quote]

Gift cards are best--Amazon is wonderful, so are Target and Walmart--places where the teacher can buy whatever s/he wants from slippers to deodorant, COFFEE if s/he wants it, etc. And if s/he wants chocolates, s/he can get those too!

Unless you know what restaurants and such they like. My students are very observant. They notice that I bring in Chipotle and Chic Fil a quite often. So I got several gift cards for those places. They also know that purple is my favorite color so I got a lot of nice purple stuff. And of course they know I love coffee. So Starbucks made sense to them. They also notice that I wear leggings. Oh how I wish that Lularue Mom's kid was in my class. *green with envy*[/quote]
