If you are not the crafty type, I can also tell you that a small gift card from Target, Walmart, Amazon.com, or an office supply store will also be appreciated. According to a recent study, teachers spent an average of $398 out of their own pocket on supplies for the classroom.  I know first-hand that my daughter spends quite a bit more than that every year.Natalie Higgins with teacher supplies

    Like some of these ideas for my son’s teachers. However, I was wondering if anyone had any good ideas for MALE M.S. teachers. My son has 3 that I would love to give a token gift. They are all married, with kids. Other than that, I know nothing about them. Anyone?
