 Topic: presents for daycare teachers...

Any ideas?
I figure daycare teachers must get overwhelmed with too much chocolate and soaps and need an idea for my son's daycare teachers.

I've been looking at getting a box of choccies for the teachers and maybe a few books/toys for the actual daycare itself. I know a lot of teachers get things they don't use, so having new things to keep the kids entertained may be a good thing!

It is lovely to get a homemade card (by the child, not you lol)  I've still got cards children gave me years ago, but certainly can't remember if they bought me a box of chocolates!

I bought some little potplants in glazed pots today. Have got the kids to write/draw (DD1 wrote a message to her teacher, other 2 scribbled!) with permanent markers on the pots to make them a bit personal. They look really cool
I am also doing a big platter of baking for all the teachers for morning tea

I don't know what to do this year either ... I gace them all a bottle of wine each last year and did a lipgloss/body wash/lotion pack the year before, but this year I have two in daycare and they're in different rooms so theres alot of teachers to buy for .... was thinking chocolates but maybe thats too boring ... so I'm not sure either?!
Keep the suggestions coming ....

As a preschool teacher, my personal opinion is, it doesn't matter so much what the present is, just getting something, even if it's for all the teachers together, feels like we are being appreciated.
Even if it's just a card.
I love the potplant idea! Wish I had thought of that, I'm gonna keep that in mind for next year.

the first year for my daughters daycare teachers I gave them a bottle of nice sparkling wine (I worked in the liquor industry so wasn't too expensive)

Im a daycare teacher and we have got lots of cakes, choccies this year but the best gift we got was a fruit tree that we could plant out in the playgound.
I thought it was an awesome idea, and its the gift that keeps on giving

How come I never got pressies from my clients lol....sigh stupid job....but then I did work for council and that would be an awful lot of presents if every rate payer gave me something mawahahaha. One workplace we got gifts from the GM....bags...with logos of the workplace on...so lame....would have rather had the five bucks it cost for the bag. Sorry OT haha!

I thought I would be a bit creative, and decided to make these (except I am calling them 'Christmas Cookies'):
Awesome-looking cookie gift
I've made some up already (and tested them out), they look awesome in the jars and taste delicious!

You are right, daycare teachers are overwhelmed with too much chocolate and soaps, so such gifts would be unnecessary for them. I think a good idea is to by something for home, here is a shop with the best porcelain dinnerware, where you'll certainly find some unique set for your teacher. I bought a set here for my son's tutor, and she was impressed with it.
