The article from NBC Chicago discusses various gift ideas for teachers during the holiday season, highlighting both the best and worst options. It suggests that while teachers appreciate gifts, they often prefer practical items or those that show thoughtfulness over generic or overly expensive presents. Recommended gifts include personalized items like monogrammed stationery or mugs, gift cards (especially to places like Amazon or local coffee shops), classroom supplies, and small treats like chocolates or homemade goods. On the other hand, the article advises against giving gifts that could be seen as regifting, overly personal items like clothing, or anything that might add to their workload, like a book they have to read. The piece emphasizes the importance of considering the teacher's personality and needs, suggesting that even a heartfelt note can be more meaningful than an extravagant gift.
