    Put it in coffee! I have one client who gives all her service people Quality Street chocolate. I saw several tins at her house last week so I know it's coming!

    I usually do gift cards for Timmies for the mail carrier, newspaper etc since they are out in the cold a bit and get so much chocolate etc but since I got BOGO quality street when they were $11.88 some are getting chocolate this year

    Timmies cards work well. Most people like these.

    Kind of hard to go wrong with a Tim's card - even if they don't like coffee (I know!! But there are people out there who apparently don't drink it, I don't know how they survive) there's lots of other stuff they can choose.

    I always give a bottle of wine to my kids teachers. I think that anybody who puts up with a bunch of kids every day deserves a good bottle of wine on their vacation - Heck, I deserve a big glass of wine for putting up with teenage boys on a daily basis.

    Oh, yes. I'd like to know a good amount too? Then there is the question of who to include… the regular teacher, the French teacher, the EAs, ECEs, Lunch Monitor etc….. Last year my son had 5 'teachers' in his class all day everyday, plus the French teacher. That really adds up!!
    I was going with Starbucks GCs, is that okay too?
    Good thread!

    I give at least $30 (Wendy's or Timmy's Gift Card) to the school bus driver....it pays dividends as he will give us the extra leeway when my kids are running down the driveway.!
