Preschool Teacher Xmas Gifts
A Christmas gift for your child's preschool teacher not only helps the teacher celebrate the holidays, it shows you appreciate and thought of him or her during the holiday. The perfect preschool teacher gift is one that shows you put a little thought into the gift and does not need to be expensive or fancy.

Gift Card

Preschool teachers are not paid a high salary, which can impact the teacher's ability to go on the occasional shopping spree. A simple gift card, in whatever amount you can afford or feel is appropriate, gives the teacher an opportunity to go shopping. If you notice the teacher brings a travel coffee mug to work each morning, buy a gift card for the local coffee shop. A restaurant gift card provides your child's preschool teacher with an opportunity to go out to eat and spend quality time with family or friends. A gift card to the local department store allows the preschool teacher to do some shopping without spending his or her own money.
Classroom Books
-
The gift of a book is one the preschool teacher can share with other students. A preschool teacher is always looking to expand the classroom library. Unlike public school teachers in some schools, preschool teachers do not receive a spending allowance to add books to their libraries or purchase much-needed supplies. A special way to give a book to the preschool teacher for Christmas is to purchase one appropriate for the class, write a short note inside the cover and have your child make a painted or ink-stamped hand print next to the note. Write down your child's name or have him or her write it and add the date. Years later, when the preschool teacher reads the book to the class he or she will remember your child and the book given for Christmas.

Homemade Gift

Homemade gift baskets make a nice gift. Homemade gifts are a way for you and your child to express appreciation and creativity. Preschool teachers enjoy homemade gifts that help them remember the child who gives the gift. A homemade Christmas ornament with your child's picture in it is a special gift a preschool teacher will enjoy looking at each year. If you know some of your child's preschool teacher's interests, put together a personalized gift basket. A teacher that enjoys playing tennis may like a gift basket that has some sports drinks in it, a sun visor and a few tennis balls. Make a basket intended to provide the preschool teacher with some past-due relaxation time by filling the basket with magazines, herbal tea bags, a soothing CD and a mug.
