Not all teachers drink, and I wouldn't necessarily gift wine to all my children's teachers,
but I think this would be such a fun gift for a teacher!

I love serial thriller's salt and pepper grinders! How fun, unique and different!
Homemade gifts like this lemon salt scrub are always appreciated,
and can be gifted alone or paired with a gift certificate
to a salon near their home (as opposed to near the school)
for a day at the spa or a manicure and pedicure
if class parents want to give a group gift.
The lemon scrub recipe above is simple and can be found on the Martha Stewart website.

Pretty notebooks, stationery, note cards and pens are always a lovely treat!
A pretty potted plant to last throughout the years...
Does your teacher have a hobby or anyhting she's passionate about? How about a gift for the gardener,
or a magazine subscription for the gardener, or any hobby or passion?
Does she like to cook, or bake?
I adore this autobiographical, recipe-filled book that's all about the family dinner. It would make a great book for any food-loving teacher. A few months ago I went to hear Jenny Rosenstrach read an excerpt at the Darien Library. Her stories resonated with me immediately. Not only is this book fantastic,
but her blog of the same name is as well!

Something like a homemade vanilla bean caramel sauce doesn't have to be enjoyed immediately. (As your teacher may indeed get lots of edible treats!) It can be made in large batches and gifted to several teachers, or friends and neighbors.
This recipe can be found at Annie's Eats.

Perhaps a charm for her charm bracelet? There are plenty of reasonably priced charms available.
Please refrain from tote bags and ornaments, as teachers have more than they can count!
Candles are tricky as they can have offensive smells...So if you choose to gift a candle you must be very careful to select one that is mild, more floral than sweet...
Plain white candles in pretty little votives decorated with wasabi tape would make a lovely gift... Does your teacher have certain colors that she adores?
Most teachers love to read... find out what's on her wish list....
or perhaps a gift card to a bookstore where she could purchase a book or a Kindle or Nook edition...

A pretty tea cup along with a box of nice tea always makes for a lovely gift.
You could do the same thing with coffee, if your teacher prefers such.

Please, I've been asked to tell you all, hold off on the tchotchkes and cutesy-cutesy gifts. A seasoned teacher will have too many of these already.
Teachers need to be organized...
A calendar or other organization tool would make for a lovely gift!
