In my family we would give a present to our teachers for Christmas. Since we were pretty much always broke we would give them some jewelry that my father never sold. My father used to sell Indian jewelry and artifacts as an auctioneer so we had a lot of it around the house.
Keep in mind that this was in the '70's so turquoise, silver, and coral were pretty cheap. Looking at the prices now will almost make me cry. We would give teachers presents because this person was responsible for the safety of my parent's greatest accomplishment...my siblings and I.
I've kept up the tradition. I'm not giving out jewelry. I'm making bread with chocolate and Kahlua and walnuts and appreciation for taking care of my greatest achievements.
