Then she said it was for her son's teacher. WTF? When was the last time it was appropriate to buy that for someone in a professional environment? Insight? Do you buy oddly intimate things for you children's teachers?

All I got at Christmas was a bunch of made in China coffee mugs with chocolates and crap in them.

I did a variety of things, depending on the occasion (Christmas, end-of-the-year, teacher appreciation week). Sometimes it was homemade candy, treats for the teacher's lounge, home cooked meal, gift certificate to a restaurant, cash (if there was a collection going). Can't think of anything particularly intimate.

I usually do gift cards at Christmas and then a candle or something during Teacher week. Never anything with an apple or coffee mug, because I have heard from a former teacher that stuff went in the trash/garage sale pile.
