How about making a donation to the charity of her choice.
How about a large gift basket? Base the contents on what she likes, baking, mixes, cake or cookie or muffin etc- frosting- special pans- decorations: cooking- asst'd pancake mixes, flavored syrups, omelet ingredients, bath-- soaps lotions sponges, etc: reading- asst'd books, paperbacks,: anything that might go with her hobbies, etc etc.
The ideas can be endless/
I made a quilt for our Teacher of the year. I cut out 6 1/2 inch white muslin blocks and ironed freezer paper on the back as stabilizer. Have each of her class kids use Fabric Crayons (local Walmart or Hobby Lobby has them) to sign their name and make a picture. Use her favorite color or a school related print fabric to sash around each block. Sandwich the top, batting and backing and machine quilt in the ditch around each picture.
A spa package or massage would work for me!
When my kids were in elementary school, we would think of all the things that made that particular teacher special plus keep in mind what were the teachers likes and dislikes. We would compose a simple poem. Most of the time it was humorous. I would type it up and put it in a frame that was decorated by the kids. They would glue different decorations around the frame.
Gift cards to Wal Mart or any store.
star bucks... dinner out..gift cards.
After 25 years teaching I have more than enough candles and hand lotion.
Re- not wanting what you receive:
When a student gives a gift, it is from their heart. It is chosen with thoughtfulness for the recipient. The receiver accepts it with gratitude, no matter what the item is.
