Looking for a gift for a teacher

Avoids the apple-mug cliché. Real things they'd appreciate.
  1. Bookstore gift card — local indie $25-50
    Higher impact than Amazon.
  2. A good thermos — Stanley or Hydro Flask 32oz $45
    Keeps coffee hot all day.
  3. A handwritten note from your kid $0
    Yes, in addition. Yes, every time.
  4. A class supply they always run out of $varies
    Tissues. Markers. Lined paper.
  5. Donated book to the class library — with a sticker $15
    Lasts.
  6. A coffee-shop gift card $25
    Local coffee shop, not Starbucks.
  7. A really nice pen — Lamy Safari $25
    Daily carry.
  8. A lunch from a local restaurant (delivered) $20
    Surprise Friday.
  9. A massage gift certificate $80+
    Tired, in body.
  10. A heartfelt letter listing specific things they did $0
    Probably the best gift.
