How to Choose Your Gift
Always look for something that matches your teacher’s personality. Teachers have spent a lifetime raising your children. They have loved, nourished, disciplined, and listened day in and day out. They are champions. Treat them as such. I have tried to find inexpensive gifts due to the current financial times, but I also found a few that are middle-priced ranged. Look around.
Why do the criteria for the gifts matter
Gifts send a message about your relationship with a person. At Christmas, if you give a box of chocolate-covered cherries to someone and you have no idea if they even like them, it tells them, “Well, they thought of me at the last minute and felt they had to buy me a gift.” Do not be that person. Do not send that message. When a teacher retires and wants to give them a gift, you need to know something they like or give them a gift card from Amazon. No chocolate-covered cherry gifts, please.
