Do you give gifts for teachers your child goes to once a week? If so, what or how much of a gift card?  DD goes to gymnastics for 45 min once a week.  Thanks

    Yes, Dd goes 1x per week for the same amount of time.  She gives them a gift a Christmas and at the end of the year.  We do a 25$ gift card for each teacher (2).

    I do something little.  Like a little box of stationary printed with Degas' ballerinas.

    would $10 or $20 be ok or seem cheap?

    I think $10 is fine.  A lot of the kids in DDs' classes don't give anything or just give a card.

    Last year I let my dd pick out an ornament for her dance teacher.

    DD#1 goes to dance once a week for an hour.  I'm giving her teacher homemade cookies in a cute tin bucket thingy, mint chocolate coffee and a GC to Starbucks.  If Costco has them again (last year they had 5 for $80), I'll get $20 GC, otherwise, I do $15.  Yes, I am cheap.  We have lots of teachers to buy for.  DD#1 has two teachers at her preschool (two days a week, 5 hours each day) and DD#2 has three teachers (same school).  They also have a music/gym teacher that they each see for 30-45 minutes each of the two days plus two directors at the school.  Those plus the dance teacher make for 9 people to buy for.  Last year we just had the three at school plus a Kindermusik teacher and we did $15 GC to Starbucks and the homemade goodies.  The directors and music/gym teacher only got homemade goodies.  This year, no idea what to do, but with so many we can't afford much more than that.

    Someone posted this burts bees product grab bag the other day.  It seems like a really good deal and you could break it up and make several gifts out of it!

    I will do $20 for her dance teacher. Her swim teacher who has been her swim teacher for almost 3 years will get a bigger gift. I am doing a night out bucket with margarita mix, glasses, and a GC to a mexican resturant. She is single and 28, I know by her FB account the girl likes to party:)

    I think any gift is nice.  I woudln't worry about the amount at all. Give what you can give.  I'm doing very small gc for the volunteer grandmothers at dd's school.  I'm doing 5 dollar ones.  I figure it will buy a coffe and muffin or something at dunkin donuts.
