What gift card could a teacher make use of the most?

Alice: What gift card could a teacher make use of the most?
I want to give 3 of my teachers end of the year gifts and was thinking gift cards (around 10 bucks each) and a nice handwritten thank you note. Before I go out and get some gift cards I wanted to get an idea about what teachers would appreciate or make use of the most. Should I go with fun stuff like their favorite restraunt, coffee place or bath and body works, or should I go with Barnes and Noble or Staples kind of stuff? Thanks!

As a teacher I can tell you that it really is the thought that counts. For coffee drinkers, coffee places are a big hit. For readers, a book store, for anyone, Target and Staples are appreciated!

But teachers are still people so if it is a women then get her a gift card to like a shopping place but a guy if he is boring then gift cards for books but young cool teacher then probably like a thing to a sport like a football or so…but thats my choice so…lol

Get gift cards that remind you of the teacher. Get them something you know they would like and is fun.

Perhaps you could get them Visa gift cards – that way they can spend it in any store. I believe you can pick those up at stores like Wal Mart.

That’s so sweet of you to do. Definitely include the handwritten note – I would cherish that if a student gave me one 🙂

The teachers will love them regardless of which place you select. No matter what, you are showing that you appreciate them. And, that is invaluable and not as common as it should be. Think about their personalities and what they like. If you are still having trouble, go with Wal-Mart or Target. Everybody shops there!
