bfaddict1977 Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 I was wondering if giving mrs fields chocolates or other fine chocolates wrapped in boxes was acceptable to teachers. Will they eat that since it isn't homemade? I really cannot do gcs this year. I have 9 teachers to buy for. Thanks,
peppysfireball Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 I make homemade candy the month after thanksgiving. I fill a nice tin or tray and give one to the teacher and one to the bus driver. THey aren't like that here about homemade stuff.
bfaddict1977 Posted November 20, 2011 Author Posted November 20, 2011 yeah there was a thread a while back on how teachers dumped what kids made for them so that's why i asked. I didn't want to put forth all that effort for naught
lorilwayne Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 As a teachers wife I have not seen any teacher here have any problems whether homemade or boughten. One thing though maybe check for allergies I.e peanut.
<3my3babies Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 Most teachers won't have a problem with candy/chocolate. The homemade stuff should be fine too. My school district doesn't allow us to give the kids homemade stuff, but the teachers can do what they want.
tinkrbel Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 I'm wondering...Are you thinking of buying a big box and splitting it? If so they may treat it like homemade. You;'re probably better off buying a set of stuff at BJ's/Costco and splitting into individual boxes. Walgreens will have the chocolate covered cherries on sale soon and most people like coffee, you could maybe do a box of chocolates and flavoured coffee from targets dollar spot if that's not beneath you:P
bfaddict1977 Posted November 20, 2011 Author Posted November 20, 2011 i saw boxes of candy about 1 lb each wrapped. i wouldn't split them up:) lol That'd be really cheap.
harrispizza4 Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 Every year I get my kids teachers a box of Hersheys Pot of gold! I get them for the nurse, office ladies....everyone who has contact with my kids on a daily basis...they love it!
tinkrbel Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 i saw boxes of candy about 1 lb each wrapped. i wouldn't split them up:) lol That'd be really cheap.I think that sounds fine then. I don't see why they'd throw those out, maybe re-gift them if they don't particularly like or give out at parties or something:P
BFQueenofNY Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 I buy boxes of chocolates at CVS when they go BOGO. The school bus driver, the 2 teachers, the nurses at the pediatrician's office share a box and the mailman. I also buy 1 or 2 more for "emergencies".
