By the time you remember the music teacher, the stores are picked over. This sheet lists everyone who teaches, coaches or looks out for your kids this term, with a modest budget per person and room for the handmade options kids can actually help make.
A group gift from several families usually stretches further than many small individual ones.

|---|---|
| Set a total gift budget for the whole list before buying anything | |
| Ask your child what each person actually likes; kids notice more than we do | |
| Check school policy on gift values before buying anything expensive | |
| Handmade options: a card plus baked goods or a drawing travels well | |
| Set a give-by date, usually the last week of term, and note it above | |
| Keep a running list of what each teacher received to vary it next year |
Fam keeps checklists, planners and trackers for every room of family life in one simple place.
