I know there are alot of teachers out there...DS is graduating from Nursery and has an excellent teacher and I need gift ideas for her and her assistant. I know you all have gotten gifts over the years, but I really want her to love it, and let her know how much my son adores her(he's her favorite).What was your favorite gift from a student...

Bumping this because I am needing some ideas too! I have gifts to buy for 3 teachers, 9 assistants, and multiple therapists. My triplets just started preschool so maybe I won't go overboard on their teachers (one son is with my older son in the same class so I saved a little there!) I picked up some of those little organza covered boxes in the dollar spot at Target after Easter (25 cents each) and am thinking of putting a pump handsoap from B & B and then surround it with Almond Roca which I also got after Easter......Maybe adding a giftcard to the teacher supply store for the main teacher in each room or at least the one that Logan had all year. This gets expensive but they do spend a lot of quality time with the most important people in my life!!!

Great question! I could benefit from answers to this as well!!

I just finished making the cutest little shadow boxes for my son's teachers. I used Jolee's boutique embellishments like pencils, notebook, chalkboard, crayons, watercolors, glue and scissors. I creatively wrote his name on one the items and then wrote their name and the school, year and class age. I think it turned out great, didn't take too long and they will love them. I think I should sell these, LOL.

I bought a nice photo album (on clearance at Target right now), and printed up 4x6 pieces of paper with the following: Class of 2018 (I have a 6 yr old), the schools name and then "My favorite thing about Mrs. _____ is: , I love it when Mrs. ____ says: , If Mrs. ___ wasn't a teacher, I think she would be a great _____(leave room for the kids to fill in a response to each question, since my sons class aren't writing that well yet, I asked each one the questions and filled in the blanks), then put each childs name at the bottom of their card, put them in the photo album, add pics if desired. The teacher absolutely loved this!

Thats a great idea, theres only 12 kids in the class this should be a breeze. I'll bring the digital and take the kids picture...Thanks

My mother is a teacher and today she told me about a cute gift she received. It was a cute beach bag, with a beach towel, small sunblock, real simple magazine, bottle water and a koozie. She loved it.

I gave my son's teacher a cute tote bag for Christmas. It was plain -- but my mom painted a beautiful garden scene on it. Then I filled it with fun office/desk supplies as well as some lotion and bathgel.

For end of the year, I am giving her a GC to Borders.

LOL, I'm just gonna give my son's teachers cash.

Not really- but wouldn't that just be so much easier?
