They teach your children well -- so how do you express your gratitude? With the holiday season in full swing, you may feel like you need to buy presents for just about everyone, and your child's teacher is no exception. The question is: How do you show your appreciation without breaking the bank? And the answer is opting for some of these clever and creative gifts that will fit within your budget.

Of course, the old standby is the all-purpose gift card. From Target to Michael's to Kinko's, there are plenty of places from which to choose. Teachers often use these gift cards to purchase extra supplies that go right back in the classroom. So the gift card is basically an investment back into your child's education. If you want to make sure that the teachers use the money for themselves, purchase gift certificates to a restaurant, local spa, movie theater or movie rental place. Some parents prefer to take the homemade route.
