Really Jrose?!?! I remember giving gifts to my teachers when I was in Elementary school. My favorite was the end of the year, we would pick tulips from our garden to take to them.

I didn't give my teachers gifts as a child. I didn't exchange with friends either. We usually swapped gifts with one other student at the class christmas party. We had about a $2 budget. Everyone almost always got those lifesaver books.
I gave gifts to a few "special" teachers when my kids were in school but not ALL teachers and not every year.

We always did teacher gifts growing up (in WI). My dad also fondly remembers he and his siblings opening up his sister's gifts she received as a teacher when they were all young adults and laughing at some of them like the kid who tripped and fell and got gravel in the fudge and gave it to her anyway. They lived in Boston. So it doesn't seem regional.

I don't remember doing gifts for teachers as a child, but we do them for our kids--usually a gift at Christmas and one at the end of the school year. We've been doing cards to Caribou around the holidays, and sometimes we'll do gift cards to a nursery (Bachman's) at the end of the school year so they can go buy some plants for their yards or what not.
When our eldest was an infant in day care we brought in cookies for the teachers in the room and did Caribou cards for the staff members who regularly were with our baby.
