I don't think it makes a lot of difference if she's 60 or 40. A tote or (drawstring) bag is always welcome, a towel, a bookmark, specially if it has something on it relating to either her pupil or her hobbies.

Hmm, well even though I have 11 years til then, well anything would be lovely.... Does she sew??? If not, maybe you could embroiderer her a lovely doily or towel or a nice crocheted hankie....or some soap or perfume or chocolates(homemade) or biscuits(homemade). I am sure she would love anything from you!!!!!!

Sean Connery, hee hee hee, and I am 60. Marji

Teachers usually don't have time to bake..so bake her a batch or two of cookies/candy.. You could package some for the freezer for a later time when she can treat herself.:) A gift card for a book store is good too :)

I know what I would want if I were 60......DANG I look G O O D in this mirror!

An embroidered sweatshirt, with some beautiful sayings about five year olds. I am 72 and still love those sweatshirts!!!

Teachers usually appreciate anything. If it is hand made all the better, makes it more personal. I think I have saved every gift received thro the years (ending with 41). They are all special because they took time to think of me.

I think a nice tote bag would be a great gift for a teacher no matter the age.Embroider something Real Cute on it. They always have books and many things to carry back and forth to school. A flower for you

If you do a tote bag or a towel, embroider the year & names of her pupils on it. Her tote bag may need wheels to make it easier to roll along instead of carring it. you could buy the wheels with handle from a shop that sells casses etc

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...not there yet. A tote bag with the students name, school, and grade would be nice.

A nice embroidered towel, bag, tea towel? I think they are great for teachers. I'm a teacher, not 60 yet, but getting there :(

A voucher for a day spa, massage, or beauty treatment would be my choice...
but I really need a tissue holder for my purse packs.
I made them for everyone else and I don't have one for myself yet. And yes, I'm 60 next birthday.
PS, if you don't have a design email me and i'll share the one i created with you. emad is in my profile and I will need to know your format and largest hoop size. hugs n roses, Meganne

I like the tote bag idea, if you could put the class picture (using the transfer paper for photo's on it and embroider all the children's names. I organized my 40th High School Reunion a few years back. I took my Annual to work, copied each students photo, (395 names) embroidered all their names, and put them on two large heavy pieces of corragated cardboard (4'x8') Our colours where black and red, so I covered the cardboard in black felt, did all the names on red felt and glued it all on the boards. I all did our school crest as name tags and also put their photo. I did a separate cardboard for to honour those who have passed on. Needless to say, everyone who attended remarked on what a great idea it was, and want them to be at any other reunion. Our 45th is coming up next year. I would take Tom Selleck. Tobi Keith, or Alan Jackson, any day. You must post a photo for whatever you decide.

Well I like the idea of a cup bag.We all made one to take our own cups to sewing.Its round with outside pockets to put t'bag , spoon, coffee etc.
Ypou could emb some lovely designs on the pockets
