Teacher Gift Ideas

This Christmas many of our children are going to want to give
presents to their teachers. Not all children want to do it. Girls are more
inclined to want to give their teachers a gift than boys are. It can also depend
on what everyone else is doing, as well as the relationship between the student
and the teacher.
If you child wants to give a present to his/her teacher, here
are some suggestions for gifts that teachers will appreciate.
*Teachers work hard with our children, and then have to come
home and take care of their own families. They often don't have the time or
energy to make special food items. All food gifts are great presents. Working
couples often share cooking responsibilities. Male teachers are usually just as
appreciative of baked goods they can share with their families as female
teachers.
*Teachers also appreciate the personal items we all need, such
as soaps, lotions, after-shave, bubble bath, and other items for the bath and
grooming.
*Computer and home office accessories make great gifts. Some
suggestions would be special computer papers, stationary, note cards, pens, and
calendars.
*Also appreciated are items that add to the ambiance or
resources of the classroom, such as books, magazines, maps, or even small
plants. These can also be given on a personal level.
*Seasonally appropriate items like tree ornaments and candles
are always favorites. Most women love handcrafted items.

Talk with
you child about what to buy or make for their teacher. They are the ones
giving the gift. Be sure that they are comfortable with what you decide
on so that it will be a positive experience for them.
