I have several friends who are teachers and have heard it from the source about what teachers love (and what they don't love) to receive for Holiday and end-of-the-year gifts. How many mugs, magnets, and bottles of scented body products can one person use, right? Gift cards are always a great way to go, but if you feel they are just too impersonal, here is an idea for a teacher's gift from the whole class that will truly be a cherished keepsake. In fact, the same teacher could receive this gift every year and would still love it because no two will ever be alike!
I'm talking about a School Photo Book from Blurb.com. Each student in this year's class could have one or two pages devoted to him or her. All you need is for each parent to contribute one or more photos of their child and a few dollars to go towards the cost of the book. Blurb books start at just $12.99 plus the cost of shipping, so one classroom of 20+ students could make a beautiful book for just $2 or $3 from each student's family. To make it even more special, you can have each child contribute a quote about their favorite school memory from this year.
Through 5/31/13, you can receive 15% off a School Photo Book when you checkout using Promo Code: MYSCHOOLBOOK on Blurb.com.
