When I was a teacher in Australia, I always received bottles of wine. I'd have my Year 8 students show up on the last day of the school year before Christmas(summer) holidays with enough booze for the whole class to party. One year I received 17 bottles of wine and a bottle of liqueur from Malta. However, a 13 year old bringing a bottle of wine to school is probably a capital crime here in the states and would result in a school lockdown.

My most expensive gift was a certificate for four for dinner at a restaurant owned by the parents of one of the students. Anything on the menu! I think we enjoyed our $250 meal very much.

I used to receive handkerchiefs, chocolates and things associated with my favorite football team, the Western Bulldogs. No matter what I received, I was always appreciative. I never wanted one of my less fortunate students to feel his gift was not valued.

A unique gift I received was a foot long blue tongued lizard(skink) that the student caught on his parents country property. He had brought one to class earlier in the year and I had mentioned that I had really wanted one when I saw it. I got my wish six months later.


I think a gift card to a book store or a school supply shop would be very appreciated by most teachers here.
