Retired Teacher Gift??
My husband has been invited to a retirement party for his 4th grade teacher. He is over 40 years old, so it was quite some time ago that she has taught him! He is attending the party, but doesn't want to go empty handed. After all they went through the trouble of tracking him down after all these years!! What would be a good gift? Also, I suggested he dress "nice" for this occasion. He usually wears jeans/shorts, & a T shirt w/ sneakers. I suggested khaki pants, nice dress shirt & shoes. He doesn't agree. He says thats not him!! Am I right or wrong? The party is at a ritzy hotel!! Any ideas & opinions would be greatly appreciated! (Party is only 3 weeks away!)

- Just what exactly did she "teach" him? Are you sure it has been "all these years"? ; )~ ... i am bad... okay this site is EXCELLENT... hope it helps give you LOTS of ideas! I got it started for ya. I have gotten a ton of gifts off here.
- I agree that at the very least he should wear some casual khakis and maybe a polo shirt. Surely he could adapt to something like this from his usual style. If she taught in specific subject areas, perhaps he could select a gift based on those areas of interest - a nice planter with seeds for herbs for a window garden, small implements and some good potting soil would make a nice retirement gift for an older science teacher, for example. Hope that he has a great time!
- Whether "not him" or not, he should wear a suit; it's only respectful. How about a gift basket of good smelly stuff for the bath/body?
