Christmas Gifts for Daycare works

[hunniebun]

I am stumped on what to get the daycare works at both my kids daycare centers.  There are about 10-12 ECEs in all (who all care for my kids at some time or another) and all of them are excellent. Last year I got both centers a pretty tea pot and a big box of different teas for the staff room (from costco), the year before, we did ornaments and personal card for everyone. The year before we little jars of flavored honey from a local place...and this year I am stumped.  My budget is 30$ max per place, but would like it to be less is possible.  Any suggestions or people have ideas of what they get for their day cares?   I'd like to do a group type gift because I don't have time to write 24 separate cards this year, since I need to deliver it tomorrow when the centers close for the holidays!!!  Help!

Fruit basket, or coffee & bagel breakfast?

Refresh the tea from your previous gift, add hot chocolate and fruit.

I always do a basket of coffee, tea and sweets.  I spend about $30 too.

This year we're doing a gift basket with good cheese, crackers, and chocolate.  Also, in the past we pitched in with other parents to get each teacher a gift card.

I did Starbucks gift cards for $10 and a small succulent plant x 3 teachers.
