So Three gifts...$50/each approx. I also did bagels for the center yesterday - to catch all those women who rotate in. In the past I have brought the director and assistant director homemade gifts - cookies - I will do the same this year. All in...its probably about $200 (individual gifts - $150; bagels $30; two homemade gifts $20). regberadaisy on "So many teachers in LO's daycare room, who gets Xmas gifts?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-many-teachers-in-los-daycare-room-who-gets-xmas-gifts#post-2381442 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 10:35:47 +0000 regberadaisy 2381442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Mamaof2: perfect - thank you!

I'm leaning towards Essie Holiday sets which comes to about $3/bottle from eBay! But I could use some $ paring down!

I got them each a pair of fuzzy socks (on sale for $2 at target) and then I bought a 12 pack of mini polishes ($12) and will put those in a bag along with some chocolate. Cute gift w/o spending gobs of money!

Less than $5/person.

The older kids get breakfast served by the teachers in the common area and if you bring in food apparently all hell can break loose because some kiddos get upset if the teachers don't share. I can't think of any group gifts that aren't food related.

I think maybe doing individual cards and then a group gift would be nice (plus a direct give to the main teachers). Ms. RV on "So many teachers in LO's daycare room, who gets Xmas gifts?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-many-teachers-in-los-daycare-room-who-gets-xmas-gifts#post-2379893 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 08:48:33 +0000 Ms. RV 2379893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ There are two main teachers in LO's room. They definitely are getting something. One of them works only four days a week and also leaves at 3pm, so there is a teacher that flexes in one day a week and then a few others after 3pm. And sometimes the director's or teacher's daughters help out. There's probably eight or nine different people regularly working in LO's room. Do I just get the two people who work in the room 90% of the time gifts? What about the one that is always in there one day a week? Group gifts (like muffins or donuts) are taboo.
