[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please don’t do any more than a kind note. I feel awkward when I receive money. I usually ease the guilt by using the gift card on classroom supplies, but I’d rather just receive a note.

I’m a professional and it just feels… odd. I don’t give other professionals in my life gift cards.

Thank you for the thoughtfulness, but it isn’t necessary.

NP. Totally disagree here. I'm a financial professional and my clients occasionally give me gifts, including gift cards. When it happens, I am surprised and happy. I make seven figures but man I still was touched and appreciative when a client for whom I'd gone above and beyond during her divorce gifted me with a note and a $50 Starbucks gift card - and gave $25 coffee cards to each of my staff. Everyone was thrilled. I don't typically go to Starbucks - all those years of reading personal finance books advising me not to succumb to the latte factor stuck - but I sure did enjoy hitting up the drive through with my gift card and every time I did, I thought of my client with affection.

I have never met a teacher who didn't appreciate a gift card. It's just a nice way to say thank you.[/quote]
