It made my son happy to give his middle school teachers boxes of chocolate. And that’s a gift that’s not useless. They can re- gift it or share with family

I teach middle school and would be grateful for any gift. That said, I’d rather have a $10 or $15 gift card to Target than another mug. But if you feel weird giving gift cards, then this is a cute idea.

This isn't relevant to you OP but I think the no-mug rule doesn't apply to elementary specials teachers. It seems like few students think to get their art or music teachers gifts and I have always gotten effusive appreciation when I gave them a mug.

OP here. I also donate money to other places, but I want to show my appreciation for the people educating my children at a critical period in their lives. They do not have an easy job. I don't think it's required, but it's important to me.

That is a great idea, OP. We are just going to get gift cards (not a huge amount, but am going to give something to each teacher).

They’re not. That’s why we truly appreciate it when someone does.

How do you not know their names?

That’s a great idea!

How is your kid going to haul all that to school?

Youare very kind. I have no idea who my kids’ middle school teachers are and will not be getting then gifts.

I would like this a lot.

As a MS teacher I think this is really cute and would enjoy it! Thank you for still wanting to get your teachers something, especially with 19(!!!).

Wasn't really sure where to post this. I noticed the 2 packs of Stanley wine/tumbler cups are 25% off at Target today, I was thinking of getting the two packs and then splitting them up, filling with good chocolate, and giving as teacher gifts to my kids middle and high school teachers. I know there's an unwritten 'no mug' rule, does this include this kind? I have 19 teachers to buy for including specials so I thought this would be an easy solution and around the 10-15 I wanted to spend but don't want to get something teachers will hate.

It's these
