I know easy enough to get an amazon gift card, but wondering if there are any high school teacher and what things you think are essential for the teacher/classroom? Brand new teacher so looking to give a little gift with maybe a gift card.

When I first started teaching I was living alone. I would have loved a restaurant gift certificate. I was so tired I never wanted to cook for myself so I had a lot of cereal.

Bulletin board idea to pass along or show up and help your friend put this up: buy one of those 12 by 12 scrapbook paper pads with coordinating papers. I used to get the deep colors that were distressed or a pad that had black and gray papers with various patterns. Staple them to the bulletin board, row by row, spreading out the colors and the patterns. Easiest and coolest looking bulletin board ever. I did this in my classroom and the papers had been up for six years before I left. I heard they are still up, two years later.

Gift card to Teacherspayteachers.com
It is a site where teachers sell prepared lesson plans/slides/worksheets etc. Teachers can search by topic + grade. I couldn’t have made it through last year without it.

Every teacher and school is different, but if you want to put together a basket:
Some gourmet snacks
Fun colored expo markers
Nice pens
Fun colored Post-its
Nice hand lotion
Fun decals for games
What we really need: subscriptions and gift cards.

If you are looking for something for the classroom - a good quality electric pencil sharpener look for the one on Amazon with the best rating.
A personal gift - a gift card is the best answer - for a restaurant or Amazon so she can use it for whatever she needs.
