I was definitely in early elementary school. I burned my hand once not using a potholder, but that is how you learn. I was babysitting for 11 and 13 y/o boys once and was blown away that their parents thought that they were too young to use the stove.

When I was a teacher, gift cards were definitely my favorite gifts. Often a group of parents would all contribute for a large gift card, either to a nice restaurant in the area, or a spa. It was such a wonderful treat and I really appreciated those experiences. What Are Some Good Gifts for Teachers? Good Questions Flag this comment	12/13/12 3:29 PM
"Food in Jars" by Marisa McClellan is my favorite cookbook for all things canning. It has fantastic pictures and the recipes are clear and well written. Recommendations For Baking and Preserving Cookbooks? Good Questions Flag this comment	10/11/12 4:55 PM

Going out for coffee. Bars aren't really my thing, and even though I do drink, I did not want my social life to revolve around drinking. Coffee is fairly cheap (compared to cocktails at least) and it is normal to hang out and chat with the people around you. It is how I met most of my friends that live near me.

I taught pre-school for years, and had to work three jobs to be able to pay my bills (the employees are not as well paid as you think they are) and always appreciated cash gifts or gift cards , but sometimes giving an inappropriately small gift (seven dollars in singles) is more offensive than no gift at all. Baked goods are nice in theory but recieving 25 boxes of cookies is not so great, especially when they are from the little friend who refuses to wash their hands/picks their nose/always has their hand in their pants/always comes to school in dirty clothes Ideas for Holiday Gift for Daycare Providers Good Questions Flag this comment	10/28/10 2:19 PM
