What are you getting preschool teachers for the holidays?

I was thinking about this and then laughed because Owen's school is part of the Jewish Community Center, but I don't think the teachers are Jewish. Oh well, "holiday" gift it will be.

Hm.  I hadn't thought about it!  Last year I got them some vegan goodies.  I brought them an edible treat each day for a week.

A Barnes & Noble gift card and some cookies.

My mom makes bracelets that are pretty neat; she sells them at various galleries/boutiques. 

She offered to make some that I can pass out to DD1's teachers. I'll probably get some little fabric bags to put them in.

Probably a tin of homemade cookies for each (DD's class has 2 teachers and 1 helper).

This is what we did last year too. $25 for teachers, $10 for assistant teachers.

The year before that, DD1's teachers got Starbucks giftcards in a mug.

I'm not sure what to do this year because DD1 has 2 teachers, 1 student teacher, and 2 aides. DD2 has 2 teachers and 3 assistant teachers. That's a lot of gifts to buy!

I haven't thought about it too much, but maybe just a goodie basket that I throw together with a gift card? Crap. I need to think of something.

as a teacher, the best gifts are gift cards.  That's what I will be getting DD and DS's teachers

thanks for this post!  i am newbie here and to kids in school.  i had no idea what ppl were giving the teachers.  my son was in a class that was split up recently after 2 more students joined... so was wondering what to get the 2 teachers (since at Christmas they will basically have had him the same amount of time) and the 2 assistants.  probably go with target gift cards like the PP said... everyone can use those!

I do gift cards and a note/thank you card normally.

One of my Son's preschool teachers is my Cousin and she said their favorite gifts are Starbucks cards so that's what I'm doing for them. There are 4 teachers.

This!! Please stay away from anything homemade, edible or crafty, they are usually tossed by teachers. Stick to GC and a nice note of appreciation!

I always bring a gift basket of goodies and coffee for the breakroom for everyone. For Aiden's specific teacher's during "preschool" not daycare time I get them Starbucks gift cards.

Our Room Mom sent an email out and is collecting money and going to get a VISA giftcard for the teacher and assistant which is awesome cuz one of DS's teachers is my MIL and it makes it easier cuz then i dont have to think about what to get as a teacher gift, her xmas gift as my MIL and her bday gift the day after Xmas. I'm also doing a cute lil thing I found on pinterest for them as well.

I did a bottle of thick lotion good for dry hands, both of dd's teachers made comments about how much they have to wash their hands and how dry they get. I also did a little starbucks gift card for each teacher.
