[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband coaches a high school sport, and has received a variety of lovely gifts—bottle of wine, restaurant gift card, things specific to his alma mater or personality—at the end of year parties. His favorite thing to receive is personal notes from the kids, but the other items are very nice and appreciated as well. [/quote]

This. HS coaches are paid a microscopic stipend and it is a ton of work/hours often at inconvenient times. I do it because I love the sport and I want to give another generation of kids a chance to have the amazing experience I did as a HS athlete. I’m able to make it work because I have a flexible part time job and supportive partner (who does the heavy lifting for our family in season).

My favorite gift I’ve received is an engraved travel mug that the team signed. The signatures are barely visible now after many years of daily use, but every time I use it, I think about how amazing that team and season was. Another favorite is a framed photo with a signed photo mat. [/quote]
