This is a fabulous list! The hardest part is deciding which ones to make! 😉 When my kids were in school, we made holiday treats for their teachers every year, even in high school. When the kids complained that (especially in high school) they were the only ones bringing gifts, I just told them that was even more of a reason to show their teachers that they are appreciated. Nothing says “thank you” like a homemade gift!
