Gift Card Resources

How much in gift cards as presents for preschool teachers would be ok?

My son is "graduating" to Kindergarten, he has been in preschool for 2 years and has 2 teachers who have been doing a great job (my son is quite difficult to manage), and also my daughter is a current student and will be with them next year. I'd like to give a present to each, maybe a Gift Cards, but I don't know how much money would be reasonable to put in them. Thank you for your serious opinion.

1. Well as teachers go they usually spend a lot of their own money to enrich the educational experience so I would suggest $25.00 each. It is likely the teacher spent way more on your kids because they love the job and want what is best for the student (take it from an aspiring teacher)
2. I'LL GO WITH $25
3. I say anwhere from 10-30 dollars in more then enough...because they are going to expect at least that next year.
4. $25
5. As a former preschool teacher, I'd have to agree with the $10-$30 bracket.
6. The economy isn't in the best condition, $25.00 each would be too much, it's just a token of appreciation - give $15.00 each! They will get additional gifts from other families and also Teacher's Appreciation was just last month.
7. I would go with $25. I once gave a teacher a gift certificate for $10...and she gave me one for $20 (I had volunteered a lot in her classroom). Very embarrassing!
8. I think you also need to take into consideration how nice of daycare of it. Ahem... are you paying out alot for a really nice daycare or it is more budget friendly? $25 is generous either way, but $10 may look cheap at a nicer center.
9. i am a preschool teacher, and i am glad you are going with gift certificates. it is our most appreciated gift. (although i love hanging plants also). i would say anywhere between $15.00 and $25.00 is very nice.
