and fruitcake (I know-I know! But mine is really good and at least one of his teachers love it. If the other one tossed it oh well). American fruitcake can be pretty awful, but the stuff they do in England is very tasty. Wonder if your recipe is closer to an English version? Would you post it? That would kind of make sense since my family traditionally has all of the not great english cooking habits too. I have to get my hands on the card but I will post it. I think I might have to some next weekend if my mom doesn't beat me to it.

This year my students gave me a lot of chocolates, a travel coffee mug filled with chocolates, a beautiful polish pottery mug filled with chocolates. Have I ever mentioned that I LOVE chocolate? My students all know it and I was given a lot! I also got a gift basket with bubble bath, lotion, and a Christmas ornament signed and dated by the student, with a lovely note from the parents.
I don't know of any rules governing gifts from students here.

No kids.
From what I remember, my parents did get my elementary school teachers something for the holidays, but it wasn't that expensive.
After I went into 6th grade and had 8 teachers a semester, we stopped doing it.

My son is in daycare. I gave his teacher a $50 visa gift card (same as what i gave her for her bday). $10 seems way too low.

I miss working at a bank. We always had TONS of awesome things given to us during December. One customer used to send us boxes of oranges from Florida - that's where he spent his winters.
