Suggestions for presents for teachers??

I will be buying presents for DS pre-school teachers as he leaves this term. This is the first time I've bought anything - never thought of it before at Xmas/Easter etc. There are 5 in total and feel I should get something for all of them. I have also been on the committee so have been quite involved. There are lots of things in the shops for teachers but mostly horrible so can I have some ideas please? Also dont want to spend too much money. I might buy bigger presents for his key worker and supervisor - am thinking on the lines of nice candles, plants, maybe smellies but they are a bit personal, photo frames that kind of things.

Any other ideas.

TIA

Wine seems to be the most appreciated teacher-gift.

Think nice candles will always be appreciated, also the kind of smellies that EVERYONE uses e.g. handcream/footcream/sun stuff if you know they are going away. This year I bought some of the teachers large A4 notebooks in WH Smith, they have funky covers, lots of pages and about 5 plastic dividers in with a plastic pocket on the front of each one. And they only cost £3.99! I wanted one myself. In other years, I have bought arty notecards or photo albums, also thinking that everyone will always use those. Although I do buy most of these things half-price in the sales and store them.
