I would like to get Christmas gifts for each of my piano students- the problem is I have 20 of them and so I can't spend too much on any one student! I have 3 adult students and the rest are mostly under the age of 10 or 11, although I have a few teenage students.
One more thing- there is no food allowed in the piano studio so I can't give them any kind of food or candy.
If you have any ideas, please share them!
Thanks in advance, all ideas are welcome!
I'd get them jigsaw puzzles, assuming they are the puzzle type. 10 and 11 year olds are usually fond of them. Best of all you can get nice animal ones at the dollar store. I even have one with a piano on it from the dollar store. ;)
I'm not sure how much music books run for, but how about a piano music books for each? Include home-made card or something.
That's a good idea for my younger students. Thanks!! :)Quote:

When I was young, my piano teacher gave us little christmas ornaments of a piano and a cute little teddy bear playing it. ( actually- I still have it.. teehee)..
I too was going to recommend a Christmas tree ornament. And it doesn't have to go on a tree...it can also be hung from a bulletin board or the like...
Exactly- I believe all cultures decorate.. dont they?Quote:

The keychain was another thing I was thinking of...Quote:

There's also some cheap necklaces, for the ladies maybe
and some other neat music related items.
Thanks everyone for the good suggestions! I'll have to figure out how much I can afford to buy. I will definately check everything out!
