Teacher gift... Help!
Today's was DS's kindergarten Spring concert at school. I know his special Ed teacher in the class is pregnant. He has two. General Ed and SE. Anyway, his GE teacher just sent an email now telling us she forgot to mention but the other teacher's last day is tomorrow and if the kids can make a little card or something that would be nice and they're going to have a party in the class.
Anyway, need last min gift idea ASAP. Figured I'd just give the end of year gift to her now, but of course haven't gotten anything yet.
What's a good GC to give her? I usually do Nordstrom or a clothing store on the style they wear but not sure what to do In this case. Ideas? Don't have much time to be a pintrist mom.

Since she's pregnant, what about a gift card to BBB or BRU? If you want a present that is more geared for her (rather than the baby), what about a gift card to chain restaurant that she can order take out/curbside pickup from?

Re: Teacher gift... Help!
All my years teaching at preschool I only ever got what I assumed to be re-gifts. lol. Scented candles, knicknacks, and the likes. Always very cheap, but I still thought it was a nice thought considering some parents never gave any of us anything at all (I'm talking mostly for Christmas, we never did end of the year gifts - maybe that's more for kindergarten graduations and the likes). That said, I do remember my last week working (I was 8 months pregnant and readying to be a SAHM) some of the mothers got me baby clothes. Nothing major, but like a cute onesie or something like that and I just thought it was the best thing EVER! I was so touched not only that they took the time to pick out something special to say how much they appreciated me, but that they made it so personal. Knowing I was having a girl, realizing how much I would love something for her. Very sweet. So I agree with above. If you want to do a gift card (which I think is an AWESOME and very generous gift that any teacher would love and appreciate), maybe do it for something baby related. If not that, then any of the others you already listed would be great too. If you don't want to do clothes, you could always do a Barnes & Noble GC or one for a restaurant.

Agreed with above. Anything is appreciated. I always like a thank you note. Nordstrom is good. Baby gift would be nice. I once got a target gift card. At my old job we got a lot of Dunkin cards. It's just nice to be appreciated.

Depending how much you want to spend, you can send her something from her baby registry to her house. We have both of DD's teachers leaving on maternity. One I bought super duper cute girl clothes at little boutique in town (I am very close to the teacher). The other teacher we all chipped in and got her something from the registry.
