My mom was a teacher for 30 years and I know about the abundance of mugs and ornaments she would bring home every year! Gifts of the handmade-by-kids variety are always a hit as well! :) These are some really great ideas.

I think what a lot of parents forget, though they are so well intentioned, is that as cute as a little gift can be, we get anywhere from 20-30 gifts like that each year. With my class, we tend to pick a service project and buy gifts for it. Last year, it was the elder day care center in our town. The families were amazingly generous, and I remember the gifts my kids shared much more than I remember the little things I have received over the years.
