What do you usually give as teacher gifts at the end of the school year?

I'm all for the class gift nowadays. The regular parent volunteers in my son's class have much better ideas for the teacher than I do and it saves me time as well. I mail the check to a mom and the teacher gets a great big gift that's personalized for her likes. Win-win!

I usually bake cookies or muffins for end of the year gifts and give gift cards with cookies and tea at Christmas, with a card. When the kids were a little younger, I had them make homemade cards too. I know a lot of schools where parents chip in for a class gift but ours doesn't do that.
