Gifts For Teachers

As a parent, it can be tough to walk the fine like between appreciation and bribery when you’re looking for a teacher gift. What you want is something that says “thanks” without saying “give my kid an A, and I’ll make it worth your while.”

Of course, the real conundrum is finding a gift that says “please forgive my child for giving you lice.”
