So, the holiday treats and little gifts are rolling in this morning - not so much for me, the sub, but lots for other office staff - what are some favorites you've been given over the years?
As a parent to an elementary aged child, I often wonder what I could give that isn't triplicate of other things they've received, and also won't break the bank.
The nurses are supposed to get gifts???? In 12 yrs I've gotten 3. The first from a teacher was a Cambells Soup gift pack. I'm still using those soup mugs! The second was a decorative candle set. Pretty. Finally, I had a student bring me some homemade baked goodies one time but I couldn't bring myself to eat them. I appreciated the thought though. I just didn't know how clean they were.
I've been gifted heavier this year than I'd expected. I've gotten gift cards anywhere from $5 to $30! For places like Starbucks, Zaxby's, Kohl's and Ulta. Oh my, I LOVE Ulta!!Today I got some beautiful ornaments, a Yankee candle, a scarf, and homemade stovetop potpourri (love that stuff, too!). I haven't gotten homemade treats but I wouldn't turn sweets away right now!
You have a nearby Zaxby's!? Lucky duck!!!
My favorite gift from a student was an ornament. It was a ceramic nurses hat that said "Nurse Sully" with a drop down heart that said "#1 Nurse 2015". It is adorable, the same kiddo included a very nice gift card to his family pumpkin patch for next fall.
I got lots of candy, cookies, and cards. And a couple of mason jar meals.
