if you already gave them chanukah gelt and a mishloach manos, it truly adds up.

I have four kids. Each one has a minimum of two teachers. That's not including the assistants and the specialists or music or art or gym. So just the bare minimum would be 8 teachers. And you think that I should spend how much per teacher? And get this money from where?

we have to be realistic. all of us have plenty of things to spend our $$$ on......and we've already paid tuition, given chanukah gelt, and sent mishloach manos to our teachers. if they got engaged or had a baby, we gave them an additional gift.
I'm not so sure an end of the year gift is necessary or even important, compared to the above.

I was on kingston briefly and everytime I need a gift I realize kingston has nothing. Does anyone know if anyone has gifts from their house? I remember someone used to have a store but never went there. I was thinking what would be nice is a pampering set with bath stuff but does crown cosmetic even carry something like that preferrably inexpensively?

Not “nothing”, BasHinda. The silver store on Kingston has cheaper things. Silver Spoon, too. You can get likker at Eber’s. You can get stuff at Auction Ware, too! And Judaic world is filled with stuff! Depnds on your budget. I saw nice Father's day gift at Sterling - a Shabbos alarm that you can preset to wake you up five different times. I assume Flash has electronics . . . Doar has jewelry.
There's plenty to buy!

Some GREAT gift ideas for teachers and pretty much anyone here:
www.kosherinnovations.com
They have
KOSHERLAMPS
KOSHERCLOCKS
BUG CHECKERS
Really cool stuff and the clocks for example are pretty reasonable... Anyone ever give any of these things as gifts?

A nice card like people have been saying. My favorite gift is a gift certificate for a manicure!

I can't afford silver. what would be affordable there? Also stuff like Judaica world I'd get a certificate. Liquor or jewelry I would have no clue what to get them. Jewelry is so subjective especially. I wonder if most of those stores have certificates though. Anyone know? the only one I know of is judaicaworld.
when I say there's no place for gifts Ithink I mean more places where I can get a nice little basket like maybe with some soaps and bath things stuff like that. Something that would be safe to give someone.

YOU CAN GET A BASKET PROb. at First Qualit and fill it up with nosh anywhere.
As far as silver, she specially has cheaper gift items, like the covered matchbook , and she has some wooden things, too, like pushkas. Or - go in with someone!
Likker is easy to give - you go and ask for his own brand, which is $6.50 I think. He has different flavors, and it's a nice thing for anyone to keep in the house for lechaims/birthday farbies, or for baking. (I just got his chocolate likker as a gift last week!)

I already sent shaloch manos on the 14th of Adar. I wonder though if the basket isn't so far off. do you think crown cosmetics would have some nice lotions/bath oils thta look nice? Icould make my own baskets. Hmm.

once you get, fill, and decorate a basket, it's not cheap anymore.

I wouldn't decorate it besides some clear wrapping. As I said, CH isn't exactly that full with non food related stuff here for gifts. I thought someone had a gift store through their house though. Am I wrong?

Mrs. Eber's british daughter in law used to . . you could ask her when you're in the store. She used to pierce ears and stuff.
Hey, BasHinda, want some small silver earrings for the teachers? Did you read my Jewelry to Give Away post?

I did but you didn't make it sound so appealing though. also I'm not sure how I'd get to you when you're in CH.

What's your budget? I think a bottle of Eber's liquer for $6.50 or a manicure (assuming it's around the same price) is a good one-size-fits-all gift.
would you rather bake muffins for them and give them in a tin? breakfast at Bunch of bagels? or something like that?

well my new idea is using gift bags and I have leftovers from Purim and hey if you can figure out a way I could get the jewelry I'd do that. I've got leftover tissue paper I think also from Purim and maybe crown cosmetic has something. Hmm [:
