Since I'm a senior and have almost finished my finals, I wanted to give each my teachers this year something to thank them for teaching me, cause they've all pretty much been awesome.
Has anyone ever done the same? What did you get them?

I'm not really sure what to get them, I could go for the obvious choices but I want to give them something special. Anyone have any ideas?

If anyone could share what they did or have any suggestions it'd be really helpful ^^

Back when I worked at Godiva, I bought a small box of chocolates for a teacher my mom was friends with...

I'm sure you could go to a shop that specializes in stuff like that and make a little personalized gift, so it's more special.

Hmm, I made my business teacher in highschool marshmallows from scratch because I had just done an assignment about how they make them in factories... but I ended up eating them all before they got to her.

I think the best kind of presents are the ones that are most useful and functional. I would think about what these people did in their daily lives and a way to make it easier for them? So giving them something they need, but don't have yet. Like... My mum spends hours plucking her leg hairs individually, lawl, so I bought her an epilator.
But if I don't know them that well, I'd probably get them something general, like a mug, candy, chocolate, pens, nice stationary, perhaps a good book? Along with a nice card that details how much I appreciate them.

i remember my friend and i made this huge batch of cupcakes and decorated them according to what subject they taught us. then, for the teachers we really liked, we got them random bits and bobs that reminded us of them and made put it all together like a show bag. i gave my physics teacher a troll doll and apparently he still has it on his desk laugh.gif

Haha, that's awesome. XD

A bunch of students got our chem teacher (this old, really quirky/funny guy with white hair who's always in a lab coat and stuff, he's kinda like a school-wide inside joke) a tie-died lab coat as a gift. XD He only ever wore it once a year.

Honestly, I alwalys wanted to give my teachers some gifts,
But i alwalys end up forgetting. sleep.gif
I still have a number of items in my closet that i made for my teachers. Even presents for my teachers in middle school are still inside my closet xD

I think that stuff that are useful is the best. Rather than just buying a huge teddy bear and giving them to your teachers [Which honestly will just end up as a useless decoration based on my opinion]. Maybe you could get a plain note book & design a cover for it? It could be use to take down notes. Along with a card to go with it expressing how grateful you are. <3

Listerine, Selsun Blue shampoo, dove soaps, a special toothpaste, deodorant.

They were anonymous gifts. "Who got me those gifts?! It said «from anonymous»."

Last time when I gave present to my teacher, it was a huge mug with ribbon lol
Yeah call me lame but I had to give more than 12 teachers those gift so mug is affordable though XD

Owww I remember my friends created pic frame for her teacher. Customized or handmade are more memorable I think smile.gif

Chocolate. That's what I gave to my teachers during like middle school lol.
Not anymore in high school.. except for my recommendation teachers during senior year. I gave one of them chocolate and the other a gift card to Dunkin Donuts.

hmm, i think any gift will do.
maybe just giving them something that is of interest to them.
something that you noticed or something with sentimental value.

as for me, i've only given either cards, chocolate and a plushie for valentine day, or a poem, because i like writing.
but those are what i've done.
i hope you're able to figure something out.
good luck with it. C:
