I feel bad.. I never got things together in time to gift my child's preschool teachers + director + p/t staff this past Christmas. I'd like to make it up to them by giving some type of creative gift(s) this Valentine's day instead. I need to keep it within a reasonable budget.. but not cheap...I'm thinking of some type of small gift baskets.. but stuck on the big picture from there. I don't want to go with typical things like shower gels or desktop teacher gifts.. ya know... trying to be creative.

I used to own a teacher store and we would make up gift baskets to themes that are covered in each grade. Our baskets would run anywhere from $10 to $50. I would try to include a book to read aloud to the children, a teacher resource book (Teacher Created Resources makes really nice theme-based books at the early childhood level), something hands-on like a game or puppet, perhaps a fun notepad or accent decoration or stickers, and something just for the teacher like a bookmark, gift certificate, etc. Example: If your theme is ice cream, you could put in a book about how ice cream is made, a TCR book on ice cream, an accent packet of ice cream cones, and a $5 gift certificate to DQ. If you are located anywhere near a medium to large city, there is probably a teacher store--or order from one online. Ask your child's teacher what themes they will be covering in the spring. For the top of the basket, have your child help you make a heart-shaped card that says something like, "I love my teacher because she makes learning fun." Teachers loved these because they were useful and fun at the same time.
