It&#8217;s always difficult to decide what to give your son or daughter&#8217;s teacher. The question of how much or how little is up to you. Every family budget is different, as well as many school policies. Some schools have a dollar amount limit you can spend, while other schools have a free reign policy. Whatever your price range, the most important aspect of a teacher&#8217;s gift is sincere gratitude for a job well done. This week we are going to feature a variety of ideas for your disposal. Take them, leave them, share your own ideas!<\/p>\n<p>This teacher gift was inspired by a favorite summer American pastime &#8211; roasting marshmallows! Simply stop by your local grocer, pick up a box of graham crackers, a package of Hershey chocolate bars, a bag of marshmallows, a set of cooking sticks, and a bowl of your choice. I purchased all my items at Wal-mart today. The s&#8217;more items are all on sale and right next to each other in their summer section.<br \/>Here was my cost breakdown:<br \/>Graham Crackers $1<br \/>Hershey Bars $1<br \/>Marshmallows $1<br \/>Cooking Sticks $2.88<br \/>Red bowl $1.88<br \/>Under ten dollars! (If you wanted to spend more you could easily throw in a fun gift certificate, book, candle, or gourmet lemonade mix.)<\/p>\n<p>Fill the bowl with pinecones and your grocery items. Arrange them in a way that is appealing to the eye. I suggest wrapping the bowl with cellophane for easy decor, as well as transport.

It never hurts to go a little over the top on the gratitude.
