Give what you can afford. I think $15 sounds perfect.

As a teacher, any amount is much appreciated. I get a ton of $5 gift cards and it adds up!

ITA. It's the thought that counts. A heartfelt "thanks for all you do for my child" is what I always cherished most.

I think you can even do $5 or $10 and not feel bad one bit.

I say yes! You can even do $10 and dress it up with a cute $3 ornament at target.

I think that's more than enough and would be very much appreciated by the teachers.

dh works outside and if it rains or snows he doesnt work so we really cant afford much. money gets very tight in winter.
last year i did 10 for her 2 main teachers and 5 for her assistant. she was in a 3yo program. this year she goes every day but i really can only do the same.
i do make a very cute card to go along with it (etsy style)

As a teacher, I don't expect anything from my students. I think a $15 gift card is a very thoughtful gift. I am sure the teachers would even be happy with a homemade card. I always say that I would rather the parents spend that money on the child rather than me.

Re: $15 gift card for teachers, is that enough?

I got 97 cent christmas tins from walmart and I am going to fill them with little candies. My son has a teacher, her assistant, a class grandma, his Seit and his OT. It would be way to expensive to do anything crazy. A small thank you I'm sure is greatly appreciated.
