End of Year/Teacher Appreciation Gifts. What do you buy?

As I mentioned in my fruit-sculpture post yesterday this week is teach appreciation week. I am on the board of Athena's school's PTO and we put on a luncheon for them and gave the teacher lounge a Keurig. The year is almost over so this has me thinking end-of-year thanking as well. This is Athena's very first teacher, she really likes her, and watching my child blossom has been an incredible gift. Since I've never dealt with teachers in this capacity before, what's the protocol on Teacher Appreciation/End of year gifts? What do you do?

	Yes! $25+
	Yes, a small gift $5-$10 max.

Is this, in fact, the ugliest dress on the planet?

Louis claims that it is. I, however, do not believe that he has done the proper research to claim this the absolute ugliest in the world. I wear it with a black cardigan and black knee-high boots and do work.

He always use to make a scrunched up face whenever I came out in it and I politely ignored it. Then one day he asked:

"Why do you have to keep wearing that stupid dress?"
Me: (shocked and appalled) "What?? Why?? What's wrong with it??
Louis: "It is the absolute ugliest dress in the world. It's too short (what?? It comes to my knees!) it's too baggy, and the colors are horrible.
Me: "YOU ARE WRONG! I'M GOING TO ASK THE INTERNET!"

No internets, I want you to know that if it truly is ugly, I want you to be honest. I promise it will only make me laugh yet it would make Louis's day to be right about something for once in his life.

So tell me:

Is this the ugliest dress on the planet?
	Yes. Yes it is.
	Not the ugliest, but it's kinda ugly.
	Meh. I'm indifferent to it.
	Dude, I'd totally wear it.
