EI Moms-Christmas Gifts?

My DS receives PT 3x a week through EI. I am wondering if its appropriate to give a cmas gift to his therapist? if so, any ideas?

I think it's very appropriate. I'm getting my son's therapists at school gifts.

We are getting Ryan's teacher, teacher assistants, and his speech teacher all little gifts. You don't have to spend a lot at all. For the assistants I am getting this little hot chocolate decorative thing that I saw at CVS, for $5.99, or a nice holiday Lindt Truffle tin I saw at Target. For his teachers, I was thinking a nice gift card, or maybe something else. Not sure for them yet, but something around $20 or so.

I did all of the shopping last night. Here is what I got:

Ava a.m. pre-school where she gets services-

2 Teachers- $20 gift cards to Target
2 Teacher Assistants- $10 gc to 7-11
Speech and OT- $10 GC to 7-11

2 Bus drivers to school and 2 different ones for the ride home- $10 gc to 7-11

2 Teachers for her p.m. Pre-school through the town- 2 Target gc- $20

Gymnastics Teacher $10 gc to 7-11

Whew!!!!

I was struggling on what to get the bus driver. I think a 7-11 GC would be perfect. Thanks for the idea

I was thinking of getting DS' therapists something as well.
His speech therapist always has DD coffee with her, so, I think I know what Im getting her a GC to..LOL

The other 2 (PT and Special Ed) I may do GCs.
I know in conversation, PT mentioned she loves Kohls, just have to work on the special ed teacher to get some more ideas.

I decided to give each one of them a $10 gc to Starbucks and a $25 gc through restaurant.com to a local place I picked out. We have 6 people that work with DS. I hope this is good? I'm still out of work and the $$ is a bit tight.

We are giving mall GC's. It was all I could think of! We have two teachers, one DD has had for about 9 months now and a new one for about 3 months. I'm not sure if I should give them the same amount though (they both come 4 times a week). My first instinct was to give the one here 9 months a little more but they are good friends and I didn't want the new one to feel slighted if they talked about the gift. What do you think?

You are all most generous! I work at a pre-school for children with special needs. Believe me when I tell you that the greatest gift you could give anyone who is working with your child is a card acknowledging the hard work they do and the difference they have made in your child's life.
