Gifts for daycare providers/teachers?

[bunkie68]

Did you get any Christmas gifts for your child's daycare providers/teachers? If you did, what did you do?

Ian has 2 teachers at his MDO (private school), I got them both a small candle in a tin container & baked them some cranberry orange muffins, I put everything in a cute Christmassy basket with a bow & a card that Ian had decorated.
Eliot is in a public school so I decided to get his teacher a gift certificate to one of the local teacher supplies stores, some hot chocolate mix & some brownie mix (both which I made at my MOPS meeting) and put it all in a cute Christmassy box.
I loved all the boxes/containers out there this year! I need to go back to Michael's and load up with a few extra ones for next year now that the Christmas stuff is on sale :aok:

Well, it's not Christmas gifts, but what Rich and I do is to give the teachers at daycare giftcards to the local Factory Outlet mall once Libby moves up to the next room. We figure if they could put up with her for a year, they deserve it!! (we haven't decided if we're doing the same thing for Alex, since it would be tough doing it two times a year...)

But because we've been doing this for Libby's teachers, we haven't been giving gifts at Christmastime.
