You can buy plaster ornaments for abut 50 cents and paint them. It is time consuming, but a nice gift.\n\nA student gave me 2 pretzel sticks dipped in chocolate. I thought it was a lovely gift. It is not expensive.\n\nBuy pencils and tie pretty ribbon around it. The gesture will be appreciated.\n\nGet see through cellophane bags and put a few pieces of candy in each one. \n\nCandy canes are always good; and peppermint is a scent that helps in test taking.\n\nThere is an ice cream store here (Handel's) that has coins that you can buy for a free ice cream. It is not that expensive and you can put each inside a card or just hand them out. It is fun.\n\nCreate bookmarks using scrapbooking paper if you are into that kind of thing. It is easy and you can see some examples on ebay or google some ideas. It is not that expensive and they are pretty. Any kind of bookmark is useful. Here is one example: http://cgi.ebay.com/Flying-Dumbo-Disney-Scrapbook-Tag-Fibers-Cute-Bookmark_W0QQitemZ320045971564QQihZ011QQcategoryZ55418QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

depends how much that you want to spend and if your trying to personalize. Whenever I cant think of something for my friends (im 23), i normally go to bath & body works and pick up a gift basket, every girl loves that stuff, itll run you around $30. If your looking to spend more than that, gift certificate to a spa. If you can spend higher, concert tickets for a band that you both enjoy.

I'm not a music teacher, but I'm a music student. At my school we do recording projects and charge $10 for a CD, everyone loves that. We normally do ours around Christmas. We also have a calendar. We take pictures of the different music activities and make it into a calendar for the up coming year, people seem to buy those as well. Hope these ideas help a little bit, if not good luck!

buy a t shirt or cd of music he likes, or even better an ipod so he can put music on it that he wants... or go to walmart and look in the craft section... since its winter, buy about 3 yards of fleece with a religious print on it and cut the ends and tie them into knots.... \n\n like this:   http://www.diynetwork.com/diy/diy_kits/article/0,2019,DIY_13787_2276464,00.html\n\n\nyou dont have to use a cutting mat though you can just use scissors but make sure you measure right...\n\n\nmake it reversable...oneside can be basket ball, one side religious...\n\n\nand it will be more special because you made it! :)

A nice watch, or if he is a tool buff like me find out what tool he wants/needs. Maybe a Carhartt Jackett or some work clothes for when he's building, or a new pair of workboots. I'm the same way I like pratcial gifts that I can use.

Make the teacher a scrapbook of all of you.  You could each put in special letters of why you think he/she is really special.  This way the only things you are paying for is a scrapbook, note paper and film.  You could even let some of the other people he/she has taught write notes.  This is something that he/she can carry with them forever.  It will also remind that that he/she are doing a great job.   You can even ask some of the other teachers if they would like to put in something.

Sports items, music is always great so CD's are nice ,a nice gold or silver chain (depending on there taste) Depending on your price range a leather jacket would be great or maybe some tools.

I think that the mp3 would be thoughtful since he likes to use yours and you could also give him a CD mix with some songs that remind you of him and him of you to put on there... but next to that you could also make him something. \n\nOne gift I made him was a nice photo album with photos that we took together or of things that were on trips we took together. This christmas I am also doing something like that with photo-transfers but if you are not artistically inclined a scrap book is really a easy and very personal gift to make. Simply head to your local craft store for ideas... and remember to leave blank pages for the memories you still have to create!

Well, if you ever need to get them a present, take a look at "The Duct Tape Book". I included a link to it on Amazon.

A great book would be a wonderful gift! Even magazines and other reading material, I think he'd enjoy. Stuff that they can really use. Even stuff like batteries are great because there are limited places they can buy that stuff for their personal use.\nPs. If you have any further questions, you can email me, if you'd like.\n*Edit: Oh, I forgot to mention... also phone cards! That's always a great gift! Or a portable DVD player (if you want to spend that much money).

Since your husband already plays, the best idea might be for you to take him shopping!!! He can get some "hands on" with several different guitars, and save the hassle of not being comfortable with something you bought on "advice". This will be cheaper in the long run, and will guarantee that he loves the gift. After all, he's the one that chose it, so no worries he will return it. Hope this gives you some help!

I use to be on the dance team too, it was a blast. She's obviously athletic and loves music.  I would like to suggest the following: \n \n1. Winter time is coming up so how about a stylish faux fur bomber jacket? http://shopping.yahoo.com/b:Fashions%20for%20Teen%20Girls:784712903\n \n2. Or this is perfect: Beat Generation Groove Master which is a stylish messenger bag with a portable speaker in it. It would be great for her to practice her routines with this. http://shopping.yahoo.com/b:Accessories%20Queen:784713434\n \n3. If she has an iPod how about a Apple iPod nano Armband in pink: http://shopping.yahoo.com/b:Rock%20Starlett:784713436  or if she doesn't have an iPod and you can't afford to get her one get her this Creative Labs MP3 for http://shopping.yahoo.com/b:Female%20Techie:784713416\n \nYou can find these gifts and more unique Holiday gifts at Yahoo! Shopping’s Holiday Gift Center: http://shopping.yahoo.com/b:Holiday%20Gifts%20%26%20Gift%20Ideas:784712816\n \nHope this helps!

Go old-school. Make their locker look like a present. Use wrapping paper.
