1. well I'm not a teacher

but I like to give the teachers gift certificates for the local office supply store.A lot of teachers spend their own money on classroom supply's.
My father in law was a teacher,he even substituted after retirement,he always said"no coffee mugs".

2. How about B&N gift certificates? I'm not a teacher but I've given

plenty of teacher/day care provider gifts in my day. Who doesn't like books and/or music?

3. Peace and quiet.

:) Seriously, though, gift cards are always nice. I'm compiling a wish list of things to buy with the inevitable Christmas-time gift cards I usually get from students.

4. As a retired teacher I will advise

NOT to get anything that looks like a teacher. Nothing with apples or pencils or numbers or letters, etc. Generally speaking, we hate that stuff. A gift certificate is nice--maybe to a nice restaurant or a great bakery. Several parents could go in together and get one of those nice Nomination Italian charm bracelets. I guess what I'm saying is this: Buy something you would like to receive yourself. Teachers have an especially tough job these days.
