What Are the Best Christmas Gifts for Your Child's Teachers?

[ChefBeckyD]

I've been trying to think of what I'd like to do for my son's teachers for Christmas...

I just found out that his teacher at school is a vegetarian, and in her little bio on the school website, she says that she enjoys cooking. She's young, married, and has a new puppy. We also ADORE her. She has been a breath of fresh air in our dealings with the public school system. I want to do something special for her - I've already decided to get the Vegetarian Cookbook for her, but having a hard time coming up with what else to put with it - any ideas?

Then, our little guy also adores his Media Center Teacher - the kids are allowed to go every day to the library (Media Center) for a new book, as long as they bring back their old one. He goes several times a week, plus his regular media center hour on Wednesdays. His Media Center Teacher is a man....first time he's had a male teacher, and I'm trying to decide if we do a cookbook and a rub for him too?

His teacher at church is also a man.....hmmmmmm.....

Why not package the cookbook with all of the dry ingredients for one of the recipes--sort of like the cookies-in-a-jar that are so popular. You could put everything together in a box.

As a fellow parent, I completely understand wanting to show appreciation for your child's teachers during the holiday season. It's great that you are taking the time to think about their interests and come up with something special for each of them.For the vegetarian teacher, I think the Vegetarian Cookbook is a great idea. In addition to that, you could consider getting her a gift card to a local health food store or a specialty spice shop. This way, she can try out new ingredients and experiment with different flavors in her cooking. You could also include a personalized note expressing your gratitude for her dedication to your child and her impact on your family.As for the media center teacher, a cookbook may not be the most practical gift for a man. Instead, you could consider getting him a gift card to a bookstore or a subscription to a magazine or online service related to his interests. You could also include a heartfelt note about how much your child enjoys his class and the positive influence he has had on your child's love for reading.For the teacher at church, you could consider getting him a gift card to a local coffee shop or a book on a topic he is interested in. You could also include a note expressing your appreciation for his guidance and support in your child's spiritual growth.Overall, the most important thing is to show your appreciation and gratitude for these teachers who have made a positive impact on your child's life. A heartfelt note along with a thoughtful gift will surely make them feel valued and appreciated.
