Teacher appreciation week ideas?

Hi ladies,

I am the room mom for DD's classroom at daycare, which means I am in charge of planning teacher appreciation week activities/gifts. I usually throw out suggestions and the other parents pick the one they want to do. In the past, we've done bagels/cream cheese for breakfast, a Starbucks run, cupcakes, thank you cards, etc.

Anyone have any new and exciting ideas for teacher appreciation? I always think they get must get tired of getting donuts and muffins, but I'm at a loss for ideas of what else to do (except for stealing bh's flowerpot idea).

DD has three teachers, if that helps.

Thanks for any ideas you have!

    In the past I have had in my classroom:

    each child bring in 1 flower.  By the time everyone was at school I had a really nice bouquet to take home.  (I always kept a vase in my classroom so that wasn't an issue)

    Everyone chips in for a gift card 

    One of the schools I worked for did this:

    Monday - Thanks a Latte! 
    Coffee/Tea/Hot Chocolate is on us.
    Tuesday - Thanks a Bunch!
    Bunches of Fruit awaits you!
    Wednesday - You're a Lifesaver! Thanks for keeping us afloat!
    It's Wellness Wednesday; treat yourself to healthy drinks and granola bars.
    Thursday - You are Souper!
    Treat yourself to a selection of soups cooked by the "group".
    Friday - Thank you for being so sweet!
    Enjoy some delightful desserts and sweets!
