" My son is in first grade, and I&amp;#039;d like to give his teacher a holiday gift to express my thanks. Can you suggest some ideas? Coffee mugs and ornaments are common purchases, but if you want to get creative, here&amp;#039;s a general rule: Your gift should express respect and affection without being extravagant ($10 to $25 is good). Why not involve your son in thinking of potential presents? See if he can find out his teacher&amp;#039;s interests: fishing, gardening, cooking, poetry? A gift certificate to a bookstore, a local restaurant or even for a manicure can be a safe bet. You could also include a more personal gift, like a signed &amp;quot;contract&amp;quot; promising the teacher that you will read to your son every night, for example. Of course, before you spend too much time brainstorming, check with your school district for any restrictions or guidelines. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
