Preschool teacher gifts

I know this has been asked many times. What are some good ideas for preschool teacher gifts? DD goes 2 days a week and has a teacher and an assistant. She only has 7 kids in her class. I don't really know much about the teachers bc it's her first year! Any different ideas? TIA!

DS is two and goes to school twice a week also. I'm just going to do target gift cards along with our Xmas card. I haven't decided how much yet though! I thought $25 each but maybe less.

Figuring the teachers will probably get a lot of the same "kind" of gifts -- starbucks gift cards, gift cards of any kind, and/or scented candles we decided to do something a little different.

I am going to cater in either brunch or lunch - haven't decided which yet - for the staff of my daycare. I have one head teacher plus six other care-takers who look after Julian when he is there. They are all so good to him.

I wanted something that they could all enjoy that would benefit each of them. I thought, but maybe they could use money more? Like a gift card or just cash? But I mean, what can I really give them? $50 at MOST to the head teacher and the rest like $20? Is $50 or $20 really going to make or break them? It also seems not so personal and I feel REALLY bad about giving something that doesn't feel personal.

So, allllllll that considered Vin and I were like lets call a nice restaurant and cater something yummy.

I called the director and asked for the best date and time to do this -- so that everyone gets a chance to chow down :)

I know there are probably better ideas out there - I'm not even saying this is a great idea. But we really put a lot of thought into it and wanted to do something nice and thoughtful.

Hoping they love it.

giftcards: visa, tanger, dunkin donuts or a local pizzeria/restaurant where they could get lunch

We bought DS's day care teachers gift bags/baskets from Bath and Body Works.

I feel like a witch for saying this but I'd rather have $20/50 giftcard than have to eat lunch with my co-workers But they're an 'interesting' bunch of people....

Re: Preschool teacher gifts

I'd go with Amazon gift card and something handmade from my child.
