As you know, my Hyzyd is already in daycare. He got a very great teacher and sweet teacher’s aide. I would love to get them nice and meaningful New year’s gift. Do you have any preschool teacher gift ideas?

I’m a preschool teacher myself and I can say I always appreciate the thought. To give you further idea, the following are the best gifts I received from my students:

1. Mall Gift certificates. I can’t forget that $15 Gift certificate to Tesco Lotus where I spent it on my New Year’s Party outfit!

2. Notepads and pens that are personalized with my name on it.

3. Special Cookies from SP Bakery.

4. Handmade note cards with my preschoolers drawing colored by themselves. I got teary-eyed with the simple greetings and “Thank you’s”.

5.Gift basket filled with cosmetics.

If you wanted to give something special for your child/children’s preschool teacher, try to find out if your child’s teacher has a hobby or collects anything. Is she doing yoga? Then a custom-printed yoga block suits her well. Does she wear a charm bracelet?  Does she have a collection of kitty cat magnets on her filing cabinet doors? By paying attention to those subtle details, you just may find the perfect gift idea that is uniquely special for your child’s teacher!

What about you? What are you giving your child’s teachers this year? What special gifts have you given them in past Christmases/ new years?

All gifts, no matter how big or small, are appreciated. I’ll tell you later what’s my gift for Hyzyd’s teachers.
