ROFL! I feel sorry for your kids or is it the hubby who gets to test the hole pattern?

I am not sure what grade she is teaching but what I got for my sister that she really loved was the whole book set by Shel Silverstein. He wrote "where the sidewalk ends", "a light in the attic", and "falling up." It is a collection of peoms that children love. Now if she is a highschool math teacher this idea is no good... So scrap it...

Anyway, good luck finding the good/best gift!

Just a reminder to those who are like me and need it...

If she's going to be a teacher I suggest it's her partner that needs the gift

how about a gift certificate to a proffesional school/teacher's supply store. teachers end up spending sooooooo much of their own money decorating and improving their classrooms. especially new teachers. they are so exited to be setting up a classroom for the first time they always go above and beyond. it can get VERY expencive.

When I was teaching (2 yr olds) at a daycare. One of the moms gave me a tote bag with pockets for pictures. Inside the bag was a thoughtful card explaining all the items inside. Inside was:

Spearmint & eucalypts candle- to promote relaxation
Smiley face stickers- after all they were 2 yr olds.
A candy jar full of hershey's kisses- for the extra energy I needed
A couple of book marks- to remember where I am
A lapel pin of a guardian angle - to remind me I am guarding there angels
And a small spatula magnet- for me when I needed to be scraped off the ceiling.

This really meant alot to me. So I am sure anything you get her will be right for the occasion.

I beleive in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve, and I beleive in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days. Kevin Costner/Bull Duram

"Your body as well as mine has needs. This is juat a little foreplay to highten our desire for each other. If we play out the game of love to it's natural conclusion, you'll experience fulfillment. Give yourself up to me and I'll guide you along the path to pareadise. Together we will be like fire and ice, love and hate, life and death." Virginia Henley

WANTED: a moment when you kiss someone and eveything around you becomes hazy. And the only thing in focus is you and this person and you relize that he is the only person your suppose to kiss for the rest of your life. And for one moment you get this amazing gift. You want to laugh and you want to cry. Cause you feel so lucky that you found it and so scared it will all go away at the same time.
