Are any free? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-gifts-what-are-you-planning-on#post-2354434 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 15:18:09 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 2354434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bumping for more ideas! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-gifts-what-are-you-planning-on#post-2353861 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 11:32:46 +0000 Mrs D 2353861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: We have not been in this situation before but I would do something shareable. In theory all the parents currently in that room will spoil them!</p> <p>@MUI831: I think for shareable gifts donuts, bagels w/ coffee is great. We also have a pizza place near us that does $5 pizza's if you pick them up - so I have thought about that! Also - our DayCare has one "teachers" bathroom that parents are allowed to use - I have thought of doing a nice candle and some nice lotions/soaps for in there as a thought? Plus I think a gratitude jar is great...you could make it and fill out the cards to start...the center could then keep it up?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-gifts-what-are-you-planning-on#post-2353832 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 11:20:01 +0000 Mommy Finger 2353832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Now that I have 2 kids in daycare, that means 7 teachers. Yikes! I have always given this cup filled with candy and then a small gift card. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003H9NITG?keywords=copco%20tumbler&#038;qid=1447345115&#038;ref_=sr_1_2&#038;sr=8-2" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003H9NITG?keywords=copco%20tumbler&#038;qid=1447345115&#038;ref_=sr_1_2&#038;sr=8-2</a></p> <p>Not really sure what to do for the floating teachers as there are a lot of them, especially in the infant room. Would love some more ideas for what to do for them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-gifts-what-are-you-planning-on#post-2353812 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 11:09:53 +0000 Mamaof2 2353812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: I don't - I only gift the current teacher </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-gifts-what-are-you-planning-on#post-2353801 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 11:07:04 +0000 regberadaisy 2353801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>S/O: both girls just moved rooms in September. Would you get something for the teachers in the previous room? They're all teachers we like and are friendly with. That means four extra teachers...yikes.</p> <p>ETA: maybe just one shared edible gift for each of the girls previous teachers? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-gifts-what-are-you-planning-on#post-2353797 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 11:04:20 +0000 regberadaisy 2353797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: I wished we did something like this. I feel like the teachers would get something bigger / better that way. Oh well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-gifts-what-are-you-planning-on#post-2353671 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 10:19:34 +0000 Smurfette 2353671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The whole class gives money at the beginning of the year. Then the Room Mom(s), me this year, is in charge of getting gifts cards for their bday, Christmas, and teacher appreciation. I will probably get them both Visa gift cards for their bday (early Dec) and Christmas this year.</p> <p>I will probably do something else little. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-gifts-what-are-you-planning-on#post-2353654 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 10:12:39 +0000 snowjewelz 2353654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've only been at the center for ~2 months by Christmas, I need to re-confirm with my mom and DH who exactly have they met/talked to there. I only know there is 2 main teachers, but there could be someone else. We'll probably get Target GC's. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-gifts-what-are-you-planning-on#post-2353652 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 10:12:01 +0000 erinbaderin 2353652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It didn't really occur to me that I should get a gift for B's daycare teachers, thanks for the reminder and the ideas!</p> <p>@regberadaisy: I make this granola recipe - my family goes through about a batch every 2 weeks. It's expensive to make because of the pecans but you could swap them out for something else and it's SO GOOD! (although I find the recipe as written too sweet so I cut both the syrup and the sugar down by 1/4 cup each) <a href="http://food52.com/recipes/15831-nekisia-davis-olive-oil-and-maple-granola" rel="nofollow">http://food52.com/recipes/15831-nekisia-davis-olive-oil-and-maple-granola</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-gifts-what-are-you-planning-on#post-2353596 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 09:52:27 +0000 Mamaof2 2353596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: I do! Its at home though - will send it to you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-gifts-what-are-you-planning-on#post-2353589 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 09:50:28 +0000 regberadaisy 2353589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs D: yes, for the class gift! Last year I did a age appropriate M&amp;D toy. This year I'm leaning towards a science kit from ALEX Toys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-gifts-what-are-you-planning-on#post-2353583 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 09:47:19 +0000 su9su9 2353583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We usually do GC to Amazon and will probably do that for my son's preschool teacher. My daughter goes to public school kindergarten and they are having a book fair in a few weeks. Each teacher has a wish list and I will probably buy something off the list for my daughter's teacher. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-gifts-what-are-you-planning-on#post-2353571 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 09:44:00 +0000 catlady 2353571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually do gift cards to Amazon or Target and then something small like nice soaps. This year, LO has one male teacher so I would feel weird giving him soaps but maybe a candy/snack. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-gifts-what-are-you-planning-on#post-2353562 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 09:41:30 +0000 regberadaisy 2353562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: do you have a easy granola recipe? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-gifts-what-are-you-planning-on#post-2353540 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 09:32:51 +0000 travellingbee 2353540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got cute glass mug candles and I will attach a Starbucks gift card. He has 2 teachers. I might bring cookies or something to the office. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-gifts-what-are-you-planning-on#post-2353535 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 09:30:50 +0000 Mrs D 2353535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have done $25 gift cards in the past (the past two years K has been either new to DC or new to the room and I did not know the teachers well enough). She usually has 3 teachers - 2 full time and 1 constant floater.</p> <p>This year I know the girls better and will be getting them each a Thirty One Tote, filling it with homemade treats packaged cutely and some fun school supplies. I'm sure I'll splurge and add something else at the last minute but thats the plan.</p> <p>I think I will take donuts to the center for "everyone else". K is almost 2.5yrs now and I know and love so many of the teachers beyond the ones she has constant interaction with. So I want to do something for the center too.</p> <p>Lastly - I try to do something for her "classroom" - not much ... maybe some new books this year? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-gifts-what-are-you-planning-on#post-2353527 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 09:28:06 +0000 BandDmommy 2353527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Amex gift card. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-gifts-what-are-you-planning-on#post-2353525 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 09:27:48 +0000 yin 2353525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gift cards are the easiest for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-gifts-what-are-you-planning-on#post-2353522 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 09:26:36 +0000 Mamaof2 2353522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Target gift cards and a small homemade something - I think I am doing granola this year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-gifts-what-are-you-planning-on#post-2353514 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 09:23:23 +0000 regberadaisy 2353514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Target GC with some kind of edible gift for the four main teachers. Something else for the floaters and probably an edible basket of some sort for the front office. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-gifts-what-are-you-planning-on#post-2353504 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 09:19:19 +0000 lawbee11 2353504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We always do gift cards.

The director puts out a book of the teachers favorite things at the end of the year and we try to treat them to something they enjoy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-gifts-what-are-you-planning-on#post-2353468 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 08:53:54 +0000 LuLu Mom 2353468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What are you planning on for holiday gifts this season for your daycare provider? We have an in home so I will be giving her a GC to her favorite local restaurant this year, they go once a week so I know she will get use of it! 2 of her daughters help out so I need to come up with something for them, probably a smaller Sephora GC and a picture colored by our oldest. What about you? </p>
