I am planning to give our preschool teachers a Christmas gift, but I don't know what to do. I was thinking giftcards would be nice, but how much and to where? This is for 3 year old preschool with 2 teachers. Can you suggest something better? Thanks so much!!
We give $5 giftcards. This year I'm doing Dunkin Donuts, it goes farther than $5 from Starbucks!
Also, FYI At the end of the year parents also gave gifts to teachers, aide's and the director. I think I was the only one that didn't give to the director. Didn't even think of it! I saw anything from flowers to homemade cookies.
We give each teacher a $10 Panera gift card. Always my favorite gift as a teacher!
You could just give a small gift card to starbucks or borders. Or if you want, collect $5 per teacher from all the parents who want to contribute and get them a big gift card from a local mall or popular store.
Hope you get some good ideas.
We usually give a packet of pretty cards, like a set of 8-10 and a pack of stamps to go with it- that way they can write their "Thank You" cards to the other students with our gift! We give to the teacher, aide and director each year.
In Kindergarten, my kids gave their teach a card they made themselves and really nice bookmarks that they picked out themselves. For gift cards, Borders or another book store is always a hit.
I find that books for their classroom are always a welcome gift, and much appreciated by teachers. Since you sell Usborne, you could give them a few of your books. If you are looking for something a little different, we love Barefoot Books because they are so unique. They are offering a special right now- 30% off and free shipping at www.ReadandGrow.com, use the code word SNOWY to get the deal.
Our favorites are the Sing-A-Longs like Animal Boogie and We All Go Traveling By, and Listen, Listen. :)

Tracy, We always give gifts to the teachers. I have a small candy business in Oswego Illinois and do a lot gift bags for teachers. Yummy award winning homemade candy. Let me know if you need anything. I am taking orders up through Friday for the holiday season. S.
