Cash is best.

You can't buy toilet paper or food with them? Or regift or sell?

Amazon, Target and Walmart gift cards never expire

Also, I think you are full of crap. Where do you live that gift cards to these places can legally expire?

I officially give up on teachers gifts.

I would not gift the teacher school supplies. If's a gift for THEM. Not the classroom.

These come with fees attached, but yes.

What's you HHI? I guarantee if you made $30k a year you would not be throwing away gift cards to any of those places.

Wait what? Target, Walmart and Amazon all have GROCERIES. You don't need food ever?

OP, I gave all the teachers a $50 Target gift card last year and they were VERY appreciative. They can buy wine, comfy pjs, toys for their own kids, smelly candles and lotion, bananas, tampons, WHATEVER.

Target is better than Sbux. As for the amount, do what you are comfortable with. We give $50 per teacher.

Target if you know they shop there. Otherwise cash.

The best gift is to take up a collection of cash from all of the other parents to spare the teachers the influx of mugs and candies and baked goods they don't want. Our day care did this and it was great. But there no one cared if they put in $50 while someone else put in $5 so I don't know if that same idea works in DCUM land.
