Wow. This makes me glad I live in an area with a fairly low cost of living and fairly moderate average income. When anything formal is done we're typically not asked for more than $5. I usually spend around $10 for Christmas gifts and then anywhere from $10-$20 for end of year gifts. I felt like it got really expensive this year because I spent around $20 per teacher and my son had 2 main teachers and 2 special ed teachers!
