This week, each of us is to share an inexpensive gift idea for an educator; classroom teacher, Sunday school teacher, your child's teacher, etc. I've learned from teachers I talked to that they'd prefer a gift card. Many times they're given candles, mugs, and things they're already overloaded with. While they appreciate the gesture, they'd benefit from something else.
People often confuse price with value. In today's economy many don't have the money to buy high-priced gadgets but, can still give a valuable gift. Consider gifting your fav teacher with a certificate for your services. "What service do I have to offer?" you ask.

I'm back to sign up for your giveaway! How generous! I thought I'd already done this...but no! So now I'm officially here and hoping to be entered in your giveaway! I would love to win your book! Many thanks! Coralie
Your book does sound fabulous. And I was just listening to the radio and they gave all the things that teachers really DON'T want from their students and I'm happy to say that nothing on your list was mentioned! Great job! LOL
Blessings
