OT: $1 to $2 Christmas presents for students

[temery]

I am looking for a small present to give each of my students. I have over 100 students, so I am only looking to spend a couple bucks each.

Any suggestions for something that may be popular with kids at this point?

10 year old kids.

We can't give candy.

Rutgers Men's Basketball tickets. It would be a great educational experience for your kids. Plus hot dogs at the game are only $1.00.

A simple scratch off lotto ticket? Not sure if that would be considered in poor taste. What kind of students, are they 18?

Seriously, no idea. Guess depends on their age.

Do you have a dollar store nearby? Could get a nice variety of cheap toys or gifts there, if you manage to avoid lead-painted Chinese-made items. Get a nice big Santa-bag and let them pull something at random

those ungrateful brats should be giving you gifts for teaching them.

Maybe you could just not show up for a day.

On the bright side, you'd get to read about Tom in the local newspaper.

Great stuff for a teacher to give students. I got out for under $250.

Give them something they really want.

1. A chance to drop a bad grade
2. A re-do on a homework or quiz

Costs you nothing and puts the ball in their court to put in the effort to improve their grades.

Give them pictures of their moms.

How about get a gross of condoms and let them pick their colors? The parents would thank you for thinking about their children's future................................ (it could happen).
