I'm making homemade cookies and candies in a holiday tin. I have for Matthew's teachers in his intergrated class and Christopher's therapists, so that's 10 people to get for between the 2 of them.
As a SLP, I can tell you that any demonstration of appreciation is much welcomed Over the last few years, I've gotten cookies/candy/other edible goodies, ornaments, candles, gift cards, good old fashioned holiday cards, and plenty of other things that I can't remember right now b/c I'm pooooooped Every gift has put a smile on my face...it always feels good to know someone thought of you
As a special ed preschool teacher, I will say that gifts from the heart are the best! Cookies and candies are nice, and always get eaten My most cherished gifts ever, are those hand written notes that I have received thanking me for all that I have done for their child. Those are the things that I cherish the most and I still have those cards, long after the gift is gone. I have also received some thoughtful, meaningful gifts such as a christmas ornament that the funds went to Autism research (I teach in an ABA classroom). Again, a sentimental gift.
I think it is wonderful that you want to do something for all of the people who work with your child!! Anything you do will be appreciated!!
I have met quite a few teachers who say that they will not eat gifts from families, so I'm surprised by the responses here. I plan to do a nice letter (I love my teachers), a gift certificate, and an ornament. I'm doing the gift certificate to ether a restaurant or something like Target (where everyone goes). All of the teachers I've spoken too like GC best.
My special education teacher is expecting and I'm knitting her a baby blanket as well.
I'm suprised that people told you that they wouldn't eat a gift made by a family. I taught for 8 years and had all kinds of home-made treats like that and never thought twice about it (ok wouldn't eat from one mom but she skeeved me out and threatened me).
