Something personal from your son, and a gift certificate I worked as a teacher before I had kids, and let me assure you that teachers get a ton of mugs, stuffed animals, knick-knacks, etc. It's always nice and appreciated when a student and/or parent thinks enough of you to get you a gift. It's always nice, no matter what the gift is. But, unless your son's preschool teacher collects mugs, stuffed animals, etc, she probably already has enough.

So, here would be my suggestions. First, something personal from your son is always nice, like a picture he drew for her, or write down a story he tells you about her and let him illustrate it (i.e. , "My favorite thing about Ms.

Jane is ________________. " "I'll always remember ___________ about Ms. Jane" Something like that).

Or, something specific to her, like if she collects frog items, a little frog statue or pencil topper or something. Then, if you want to round out the present, add in a gift certificate. I know for me, my favorite is a gift certificate to a book store (hey, even an amazon gift certificate!

) Teachers spend a lot of their own money on their classroom. When I would get book store gift certificates, I'd usually use about half of them on books for the classroom, and half on me.It let me build my classroom library without being out too much $$$. The more I think about it, an amazon gift certificate would be perfect because then she's not limited to just books, but could really get just about anything.

A $10 gift certificate would be very nice...you don't have to go out of control as it really is the thought that counts! And if a gift certificate just seems too impersonal, then I'd suggest something consumable you know she'd enjoy: chocolate, coffee beans or tea bags if she drinks either, flowers or a plant.

A heartfult thank you is #1 First you should be sure you're clear on any guidelines the child's school may have on gifting to staff. An increasing number of schools do restrict gifts from students to teachers or place limits on the value of such gifts. A heartfelt thank you card from you (embellished by your son as best his skills allow at this time) is certainly appropriate.

Teacher's frequently save these for inspiration on the more challenging days and they are very much appreciated. Teacher's do tend collect a lot of 'mugs' and 'great teacher' memorabilia. And while certainly the gesture is appreciated - an experienced teacher tends to have an overwhelming collection of such things.

Folks do have varying opinions on the topic of gift cards. But frequently they are good choice in this situation. Frequently teacher's invest their own funds in their classrooms - and a gift certificate to the local education supply, office supply, or book store is a thoughtful and helpful gift.

Gift certificates for local restaurants, coffeehouses, or movie theaters, are also something to consider. If you're not one for gift cards. Consider something consumable.

Stationary, flowers, homemade treats, candy, popcorn, etc. Or you may want to consider a giving a gift to the school in honor of the teacher (particularly if gifts directly to the teacher are not permitted). You may consider donating a book(s), equipment, or funds for future purchases.It is advisable to avoid things like scented soaps and candles, knick knacks, etc unless you are truly familiar with the teacher's personal tastes.

Teachers don't like gifts that say "teacher" on them they have plenty! My mom was a kindergarten/preschool teacher for a very long time and I always remember how many "teacher" things she got. She appreciated the thought but had no use for the stuff.

She also used to get a bazillion bath sets and candles. One only needs so many bath sets and candles. What she liked the best were picture books.

A preschool teacher can never have too many picture books and having multiple copies of the same one is okay too. Pick out your child’s favorite book or a new award winner to give to the teacher. The newest Caldecott winner is Flotsam.It would be a great choice.

Moses Would also be a good choice it is about Harriet Tubman and won the Coretta Scott King award. Tracking Trash is a really cool book about studying ocean currants by tracking garbage and things that fall off of cargo ships.

Gift cards work unless you know them really well, it can be hard to pick out an appropriate gift. We gave my son's pre-school teacher (who was fantastic with him) a $50 gift card to a big box store.

Butterflies! Or scent ^_^ Of course, I don’t know how much you want to or can spend, but a gift from here would be unusual, thought-provoking and something that your preschool teacher to show to the other children in the the school. nature-gifts.com/real-framed-butterfly-a... Here’s a simple example: And living in the States, you can buy them!(Not exportable from the US.) Or perfume maybe?

Not the crude ones that are the fashion now, but maybe a light flowery fragrance. I like blubell or lily of the valley.My sister is very gone on lavender or violet. Penhaligion’s is very good, though quite pricey penhaligons.co.uk/ishop/1/shopscr824.html Their bluebell travel kit looks good:penhaligons.co.uk/ishop/1/shopscr852.html Sources: me!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
