You can never thank a teacher enough (really)
Looking for a gift that's Just Right for your child's teacher? A wee gift that says "We appreciate everything you do!" without getting too personal? Lovely monogrammed notecards are always a good bet - you know, to write thank you notes for the 47 mugs the other parents are giving this year.

The simple flat cards from Toodles Noodles are perfect for teachers (and babysitters, too). They're not too fancy, not too fussy, and certainly not cutesie like a lot of "teacher cards" tend to be. Personalize them with script or block letters, and choose a single initial or add a name. For under $10 for the set it just seems like a smart gift at the right price.

Let's just hope you don't get one of these cards back with a report about your child's behavior on it. -Susan
