But I also include a handwritten note about how grateful I am for them. </p> <p>Check out sugarwish for a really clever way to get them exactly what they want. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preschool-teacher-gifts-help-a-beginner-out#post-2925675 Fri, 03 Dec 2021 12:19:15 +0000 Clementine12 2925675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jess1483: @erinbaderin: haha it means the same here in Colorado too! </p> <p>I hardly know the woman since pandemic protocols mean a wave hello and goodbye most days so I think I'll write a letter from me, one from DD, and get her a gift card. Maybe to somewhere more unique than Starbucks or Amazon... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preschool-teacher-gifts-help-a-beginner-out#post-2925674 Fri, 03 Dec 2021 12:04:33 +0000 Jess1483 2925674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinbaderin: when I taught preschool and a friend had my son in her class, I gave her a bottle of wine with the label “I think my child is the reason you drink.” </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preschool-teacher-gifts-help-a-beginner-out#post-2925673 Fri, 03 Dec 2021 12:02:40 +0000 erinbaderin 2925673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jess1483: I'm glad you didn't! A friend of mine is a teacher and I think any kid who brought him that kind of edibles would become the new favourite. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preschool-teacher-gifts-help-a-beginner-out#post-2925672 Fri, 03 Dec 2021 11:52:48 +0000 Jess1483 2925672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinbaderin: I realized how it sounded when I re-read if, but was too lazy to fix it ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preschool-teacher-gifts-help-a-beginner-out#post-2925669 Fri, 03 Dec 2021 11:50:33 +0000 erinbaderin 2925669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jess1483: I'm sure this isn't what you meant but marijuana is legal in Canada and the idea of getting preschool teachers weed gummies is making me laugh and laugh. </p> <p>I think you could do an actual gift or (probably preferred) a gift card. For some reason cash seems awkward to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preschool-teacher-gifts-help-a-beginner-out#post-2925668 Fri, 03 Dec 2021 09:12:50 +0000 Bluemasonjar 2925668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our school shares a Favorite Things list for each teacher with ideas. I usually pick up a treat like their preferred candy and a $20 gift card. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preschool-teacher-gifts-help-a-beginner-out#post-2925654 Thu, 02 Dec 2021 16:37:40 +0000 LadyDi 2925654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our preschool teachers have wishlists for their classroom so I bought an item off of that and I’m giving them each a small gift card </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preschool-teacher-gifts-help-a-beginner-out#post-2925652 Thu, 02 Dec 2021 16:09:42 +0000 bhbee 2925652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think gift card and note is perfect! If it’s just from us I aim for $20-25 gifts (we did more when it was full time care) but I think anything will be appreciated. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preschool-teacher-gifts-help-a-beginner-out#post-2925647 Thu, 02 Dec 2021 14:27:35 +0000 Jess1483 2925647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I received a wide variety of gifts when I was a preschool teacher. By far the best were handwritten letters, so I think you are right on the nose there. (One of my favorites was when the mom just wrote exactly what her son said in typical Preschool-ease.) Then a small token gift, like a gift card or edible would be nice, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preschool-teacher-gifts-help-a-beginner-out#post-2925637 Thu, 02 Dec 2021 13:14:08 +0000 Clementine12 2925637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's my first time. No one seems to be starting group gift. Small school, my daughter goes 3 hours/day 5 days/week.</p> <p>What is the appropriate amount to spend? Am I supposed to get a physical gift, a gift card, or just give cash?</p> <p>My only thought so far is to write a letter about the positive changes I have noticed in DD1 (starting to read, loves going to school, etc). Maybe with a gift card? Coffee or something... </p>
