As a retired First Grade teacher, a few thoughts on gifts, jewlery,if the teacher is seen wearing same, a nice candle, if you choose scented, cinnamon or vanilla might be best because of allergies, I have allergies and preferred not to receive perfumes, scented soaps etc. because I was unable to use most of them. A great gift for this time of the year is a nice basket or tub of fresh homemade goodies, or purchased crackers, snack foods, etc. always enjoyed and with teaching never enough time to make much of our own. Perhaps coasters, or place mats, or a nice throw to cuddle up with while grading the numerous papers. If your teacher enjoys crafts, needle point, scrap booking, or such, perhaps an inexpensive kit of this type. Three of the most treasured gifts I received during my twenty years as a First Grade Teacher was a beautiful store purchased crocheted vest, a nice throw for my sofa and a beautiful picture frame (I placed a picture of my two children in it), I still use them all and enjoy them imensely. Depending on your price range perhaps a gift certificate to a local restaurant, movie tickets, etc.. Perhaps a nice Christmas ornament with your child's name and year engraved on it, I still use the ornaments that my children's teachers gave them. Perhaps a nice potted plant or Christmas bouquet or wreath. So much of the time many of the items received were actually dust collectors. But all gifts were appreciated by me and I always loved the thoughts and appreciation that went with each one I received over the years. Hopefully this will give you some choices, and be of some help from a teacher who received many different gifts over the years. Your choice on giving to P.E. Art etc.nice to remember them too, they often get forgotten since they aren't the home room teacher. God Bless all and Merry Christmas to you and yours.
