I gave them both $20 Starbucks gift cards for Christmas but need an idea for an end of year gift. I want to spend around $50 for both teachers. Ideas??
A bunch of the moms got together and put in about $20 each for mother's braclets for the teachers. One teacher had admired one on another mother. If you know their children's names you could get them a stamped necklace with their children's names. Etsy has a bunch of sellers that would be in your price range.
Gift cards would probably be the best bet- either Target, Macys or someplace like that. If you know what things they prefer you could do a more personalized shop- i.e. a few parents knew I enjoyed mani/pedis and got me a GC to a local nail salon, and I also really appreciated GC to Bed Bath & Beyond (right after we got married). Visa/American Express card is also good too!
I'd stir clear of personalized gifts, lotions, candles, mugs, & food. I always got a ton of that stuff, almost ad nauesum, and it's really hard to judge a person's perferences for that.

Ditto to all of this. Personalized gifts are sweet, but teachers tend to get a lot of "stuff" that just ends up going to waste. Get them something they really want and can use, like a gift card.

Re: End of year gift ideas for PDO teachers?
Gift cards are the best way to go, Target, resturants or whatever are the way to go.
Oh and whatever you do stay away from abc and apple crap, teachers have seen/gotten it all and don't usually like it.
