We gave DS' teachers one of DH's awesome (if he does say so himself!) homemade Christmas Puds and DS made a Santa card made with a handprint, goggle eyes and stickers.
My fave gifts from kids were handmade things like decorated photo frames, coasters, mugs, pencil pots, smelly sachets, jewellery. One extremely talented mum hand sewed me a cushion with a beautiful quote on it when I had Bub. Food always goes down well, though I do know a few teachers who refused to eat food given by kids unless they knew and trusted the parents, lol!!
And a nice thank you message from a parent/child is always appreciated (and often shared proudly with other teachers in the staff room as we are chuffed at our hard work being acknowledged).
