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 \/>\nHere was my cost breakdown:<br \/>\nGraham Crackers $1<br \/>\nHershey Bars      $1<br \/>\nMarshmallows     $1<br \/>\nCooking Sticks    $2.88<br \/>\nRed bowl           $1.88<br \/>\nUnder 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.  Attache <a href=\"https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/nffsmoretag.pdf\">our matching printable tag <\/a>below (download by clicking <a href=\"https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/nffsmoretag.pdf\">here<\/a>) or make your own tag declaring your love.<\/p>\n<p>P.S. It never hurts to go a little over the top on the gratitude.  You never know, Little-Second-In-Line-Timmy may have her next year!  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=6000\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6000\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/nffwebsmoretag.jpg\" alt=\"nffwebsmoretag\" title=\"nffwebsmoretag\" width=\"288\" height=\"288\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-6000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/nffwebsmoretag.jpg 288w, https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/nffwebsmoretag-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/nffwebsmoretag-65x65.jpg 65w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 288px) 100vw, 288px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nP.P.S.
