I give either $10 gift cards to someplace I know they would shop or I bake homemade goodies or give a goodie basket with homemade gourmet stuff for them to bake.
I dont do trinkets, nick-knacks or anything like that. Being a former MDO teacher I know that you get so much of that stuff and where do you put it all year after year?
I would much rather give them something that they can put to good use and if you want to include something for your child to be remembered by, send a picture in the card. They will save it and it doesnt take up a lot of room :)
