Cute article in the San Jose Mercury News - Teachers remember favorite — and offbeat — holiday gifts

This year my daughter made this home made candy (cookies?) for her teachers. She got some cute boxes to put them in. Per this article, handmade has a lot more meaning than a store bought gift. For some reason giving gifts to teachers seems to be pretty popular in my daughter's school district. My guess is cultural (lots of Chinese and Korean in the district) and showing respect to the teacher. In her middle school, I remember seeing some teachers with huge bags of presents they had received.
