i’ll chime in-dh is a teacher. i agree with most of what she said, except for the baked goods!!! we love and appreciate the yummy treats every year. it makes me look like a regular martha stewart when company drops by!

when in doubt, get them a gift card. they are such a blessing! we’d love a bottle of wine, but i could see where that may cross school lines, etc.

another vote for the popper. ours died from 2 years of repeated use by my 2 year old and 5 year old. they loved it so much, they wore the motor out! i should get them a new one this year…

for stocking stuffers: we always got and give office products (that would otherwise disappear from our stash), e.g. tape, rubber bands, paper clips, post-it notes(love, love, love them), highlighters, erasers, pencil sharpeners, white-out tape (super gift). Our biggest bill is always at Staples, and they love this stuff. Makes them feel grown-up.

also, if the kid is old enough and can be trusted, get a mini-leatherman tool (can be better than the swiss army knife– great scissors).

I agree…know your teacher. My mom was a teacher, and half of the cheap crap was given to my kids to play with after she got it. Some do like NICE candles like p@rtylite or Y@nkee candles. One of my sons’ teachers had just lost a special pet, so we got her a metal yard stake that was a dog holding a heart, and the dog had angel wings…I think that was my best teacher gift ever! I just got my niece the blue ‘bat’ looking ugly doll in your post for Christmas:) I think they’re kinda cute!

Growing up with a teacher, most stuff got regifted or goodwill’d. With the exception of handwritten letters, gift cards to restaurants or mani/pedi’s, hand crafted gifts or things that showed real thought and weren’t purchased off of the ‘bulk generic make teacher happy’ shelf at the local wally world.
Books were always a big hit.
If you actually have a personal relationship with the teacher… a nice bottle of wine is a great idea.
Thanks for all the fabulous ideas and the grins.
