22 gifts under $25 for your kid's teacher
Ok, so you probably can't bribe your kids' teachers to give them better grades, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't show appreciation to the people responsible for educating the next generation of young minds.
Your children spend almost as much time with their teachers as they do with you, so they'll know best what he or she would be interested in. Then again, kids are selfish little people (it's ok, they're supposed to be at that age) so here are our recommendations for presents that will make you the teacher's pet at the next PTA meeting.
