Thanks for the tips about teachers' gifts. I'm always at a loss what to get them and usually end up with candles or something similar :-o . I had thought about the letters, but thought they might get a ton of those as well. Perhaps I'll reconsider them for this year.

So a tip.. hmmm... since Christmas also coincides with the end of the school year here it often means gifts for teachers. Before I had kids I was a preschool teacher and I got a lot of soap and candles as gifts! Now that I have kids of my own at preschool I am trying to come up with some really great gift ideas for their teachers... I can still remember some of the best gifts I was ever given as a teacher - a double pass to the movies, a gift voucher to a book store (I could buy something for myself or something for teaching), a special letter from the child telling me all the things they loved about kinder, books for the kinder.... So my tip is to start thinking now about something to give your kids teachers so you don't rush out at the last minute and buy soap or candles.. not that is anything wrong with soap or candles...
