Gifts for teachers and coworkers
A gift for a teacher or coworker should say thank you without making anyone uncomfortable. Keep it modest, useful and a little bit nice. A note in your own words will matter more than the object itself.
Stay away from anything too personal, such as clothing, fragrance or jewelry. Choose things for the desk, the break room or a tired evening at home. Many teachers and offices also have rules about gift value, so a small, low cost gift is often the kindest choice.
If you are giving to a group, pick one thing that is easy to share or easy to repeat, so no one feels left out. Each idea here is limited to $30. Check the store's page for the final price and shipping before you order.
