Could you have each of your students do a little page on their favorite things about her? That kind of thing is really meaningful.

Oh, I love this idea! Both sounds like something so would like (not Christian, but otherwise also like the the person you are describing).

I just posted and I love that too. Just check it over to make sure they are all kind.

No, some people don't want strangers touching them like that and some massages are just not well done.

OP a heartfelt note is the most important thing. Then I would just stick to what you know she will want and use. If you know she loves a particular store, get a gift card. You don't want to impose what you or DCUM thinks is special on her. If you know she loves a certain type of flowers or plant include that too. Don't put her in the uncomfortable position of saying "thank you" for some indulgence she might never use just because everyone here swears it's the best.

What is your budget. You have any ideas how she spends time or her hobbies?

A small yeti cooler.

Does she garden or like to be outside? Solar lights, bird feeder, Bluetooth speaker, have the kids decorate planters & fill with perennials.
