[quote=Anonymous]I'm a teacher.   I think homemade baked goods can be very appreciated, if they are of good quality.   One year some parents chipped in and made a variety of delicious homemade Christmas cookies, to help with holiday entertaining.   I loved that!

I have received plenty of mugs, candles, one year a nightgown!   I was grateful for everything; these were not well-off families and it truly is the thought that counts.   Many items I just turned around and doonated to the thrift store, but the look on the children's eyes when they gave me their presents was really special to me, especially as a young, not yet jaded teacher.    :D

No one ever handed me cash, but I don't think a $20 bill in a nice envelope is any more offensive than a $20 gift certificate to Barnes and Noble, which I don't think is offensive in the least.

It's DEFINITELY not enough money to bribe me.   Write a lovely note or better, have your child write the note, and that's what is the most important thing.[/quote]
