I also saw this idea: A Box of Goodies  - Very cute idea, and doesn't seem very hard to make.  Also can be found here.

Another idea - quick, easy, and useful too

One year I made M & M Cookies in a jar then attached the following poem:

Green is for the inspiration you give to me each day.

Blue is for your patience in showing me the way.

Orange is for your warmth and caring smile.

Yellow is for the way you can always make me smile.

Red is for my life that you have touched this year.             

You’re a very special teacher just like this jar, that’s clear!

You place knowledge in your children’s hands and

melt into their hearts and lives forever.

You’re a “Magnificent” and “Marvelous” teacher!

Thank you for being my M&M!

Teacher Appreciation Gifts

I spent some time yesterday looking for ideas for a gift to give my son's teacher. One idea I thought of is to get a basket and fill it with items that have sayings attached to the items. The sayings are a bit cheesy, but it's a fun and easy gift idea.
Some of the sayings I found are:
*Thanks for making me a "smartie". (Smarties candy)
*Thank you for helping "quench" my "thrist" for knowledge. (Bottle of water)
