Opinions on Presents

I actually look forward to the card the most - It is kind of like getting feedback and motivation and I love to see what they say. I am still on the fence about craft supplies. I got some last year and some of it is still on my craft shelf -unused because I got some stuff that I already had and haven't used up yet even to this day. i.e fingerpaints, colouring books, etc

It is interesting to see what others think /feel about it though. I was happy when I received it last year and thought it was great but now when I see that some of it never even got used I am wondering whether I am in store for more this year. lol

I had a teacher for one of my children say how much she loves getting craft supplies so she doesn't have to buy out of her own pocket and then I have heard teachers say that school supplies are not really a reward for the teacher. That is why it is pretty specific to the individual I guess. I have given school supplies to my children's teachers and I hope they didn't hate it

Happy Moma - your idea for a gift is nice. Last year - most of my parents gave me wine ( lol). I like the idea that you are giving the children of your provider something. Some of my parents send in gifts for my own children and that makes me happier to see my kids get something than it does for me to get something
