Materials needed:
Nothing or Money

Description:
Forget that your child's teacher is a teacher when shopping for him or her. Your teacher probabaly has enough items with apples and rulers on them. Teachers also have had their fill of most homemade craft items that are more clutter than anything. Most teachers are broke and spend a ton of their own money on classroom items.

Instructions:
By gift cards for restaurants, spas, movie tickets/rentals, clothing stores, or simply send a card that says "Happy Holidays." Most teachers would rather get something useful and enjoyable, or nothing at all.
