[quote=Anonymous] I am a teacher and a mom of 2 school age kids. I love notes and handwritten cards, so I have my children do those at the end of the year. Gift cards to anywhere are great. I love chocolates and like stashing them in my desk or car for a pick-me-up. My two kids have about 20 teachers/therapists/bus drivers/aids between them, so we cannot afford to dole out gift cards to everyone. This year, my oldest and I hand painted designs on mason jars and filled them with an assortment of chocolates and candies. The jars were 50 cents each, so no biggie if they are tossed. Candy can be enjoyed by the receiver or shared. To me, it's the thought that counts and my children are enjoying brightening the day for the adults who wouldn't have gotten something if we spent $$ on gift cards for just their main teachers (the aid on one of the buses was clearly not used to getting anything and was extremely appreciate of our gesture).[/quote]
