I agree with the over the teachers thing. Teachers day turned into a whole week long celebration, their Birthday, Christmas, end of the school year. A little out of hand. Hello it's their JOB. And honestly compared so some other jobs the pay/benefits aren't that bad.

I'd love a thoughtful gift over cash or a card. But my family seems to be genetically challenged in thoughtful gift giving. In the last couple of years I've gotten cow socks, earrings with frogs on them, feetie pajamas. If they feel they must send something (and honestly nothing or just a card is fine) then cash or gift card might be better than any other random thing they pick out.
