<p>Hi everyone! Since it's the end of the year, I was looking for gift ideas for my teachers. I do NOT want to give giftcards or boxes of chocolate because they're so, so cliche. </p>
<p>I'm <em>REALLY</em> looking for a witty present to give my psychology teacher.</p>
<p>Does anybody know any good websites or stores to get presents for teachers? Let's all share! :) Thanks!</p>
<p>threadless t shirts?
i don’t know, i’d say coffee + giftcards + chocolate are fine…
teachers don’t really care if it’s cliche
its just what they want…</p>
<p>Would it be weird to give a book to an English teacher?</p>
<p>I don’t think it’s weird to give a book to any teacher (they represent education, for goodness sake!), but when I wanted to give a teacher a book, I spent a LOT of time thinking of what kind of book my teacher would like.</p>
<p>english teachers are like wizards, they always get books. but what they really want are just a pair of socks.</p>
<p>[UncommonGoods</a> | Unique Gifts With A Creative Twist](<a href=“http://www.uncommongoods.com%5DUncommonGoods”>http://www.uncommongoods.com) <– that’s pretty cute. Any other sites?</p>
<p>Champagne is always nice.
Honestly you should ask them what they want because if you get them a book it’s quite likely that he/she already has it.</p>
<p>A box of chocolate would be a nice gift.</p>
<p>How about a special card/letter that says how much this teacher has meant to you? Written words can carry a lot of power for good. I’d rather have something like than more “stuff”.</p>
<p>One kid gave my teacher candy and snacks in a bag. Yes, a pretty common gift, but on the bag there was a name poem, and they weren’t lame words – I found it funny and pretty accurate description.</p>

<p>I’m just going to give them a muffin or candy…</p>
<p>remind them that your parents are paying for their salary. that is all they need</p>
<p>Yeah, right, 'cause that’s not obnoxious.</p>
<p>And if it’s a public school they’re paying for their own salary as much as our parents are.</p>
<p>Are you guys really high school students? I have never heard of a high school student getting a gift for a teacher (unless they write them a rec for college).</p>
<p>southeasttitan,</p>
<p>please stop being socially ■■■■■■■■ and a tight wad. ty</p>
<p>Get the teachers you don’t a like a cruise…</p>
<p>…on the titanic.</p>
<p>But in all seriousness, I’d just give em’ a card and visit the school when i’m back in town or w/e. Teachers seem to like that.</p>
<p>I was honestly thinking about this the other day. I’m tempted to do a lot of cooking the weekend before finals and make coffee cakes, cookies, homemade pretzels, and things like that and add in my own note and go with that.</p>
<p>Senior spring next year, a few friends and I are thinking of treating a couple of our teachers to lunch or dinner. These are teachers we’ve had multiple times, and one that we admire and appreciate for the care and devotion they’ve shown in their teaching. I can’t think of a better way to say thank-you and goodbye.</p>
<p>one of my teachers said straight out:
-no homemade goods (he apparently throws them out bc he’s a germ freak)
-plus, if they’re not tasty, that just creates a bad lasting memory
-no girl products (bc he’s a guy)…duh
-buy him a VISA gift card and that’ll be the best thing we can give him
-no chocolate or coffee PLEASEEEE</p>
<p>Ha, all my teachers love baked goods. I’ll randomly make cake/brownies/cookies and pass them out. Teachers included.</p>
