This time of year we have a lot of people to thank for all the love, guidance, patience & attention that they give our 3 kids.. This year between teachers, helpers, para, resource teachers, therapists, etc., we had 12.
I love trying to come up with something they'd like. I've done gift certificates to restaurants, personalized notepads / stationery ... but this year, when I saw the "Spa-ahhh" bags [for only $1 at Walmart], I knew I had my theme. I bought 9 of them & I bought 3 lined baskets for the bigger gifts.
I filled them with items that I would want, if I were to have a moment to relax ... Lotions & Soaps [nicer than I would normally buy myself]; Magazines; Cookies [nicer than I would normally buy]; Nice candles; and some other odds & ends. Attach cards that say "Hope you have a relaxing summer" ... and voilà - you have a cute gift full of items that will surely get used - no dust-collectors. Nothing out of the ordinary ... but sometimes simple is good. :)
