IF you give your childcare providers gifts for the holidays, what did you give them?
I only had two teachers to buy for. One is out this week so she will get her gift next week. The teacher who is there this week got her gift in this snowman tin. The top is filled with homemade butter mints, the middle has my favorite Christmas cookies and the bottom has a GC to Target, as well as some scrapbook supplies because she's a big scrapbooker.

This year I just did Target gift cards ($25), a small Lindt chocolate bag to go with it, and a card. For 6 teachers.
For the weekly music teacher and language teacher, we gave a pair of movie passes, a small chocolate bag, and a card.
I also did a couple Starbucks runs for the teachers when I was able to pick the kids up early. I know all of their orders now so it's like a special surprise treat haha.
It's nice to be done!

5 teachers, plus dean, head mistress, and secretary. I did target and Amazon gift cards for
Christmas and teacher appreciation week last year, but this year I went a different route. I did the whole "Merry Christmas, and to all a movie night" theme. They each got their favorite candy, favorite drink, popcorn, and two redbox movie codes plus a gift card to there favorite take out/fast food. I packaged it together nicely and put it in a clear bag.

6 lead teachers and they all got fuzzy socks + nail polish, a handmade card by DD1 that I wrote a note in plus target gift card. Thanks to @Mamaof2: for the fuzzy sock reminder! I've had the mistletoe idea pinned for a while. 
Also got a floater that dd1 really likes a homemade card and target GC.
Also got the front office ladies a cookies & confections box from a local pop up shop that makes amazing baked goods. Drool.

Potted flowers. I was going to do gift card but I have no idea where they shop. I did grab grocery store gift cards but then I thought that seemed cheap looking and stuck with the plants.
