I am kinda the same way as Lindsay. I make something (homemade vanilla, plaque, etc.) for elementary as they have a class party but I dont buy for computer, music, pe, library,etc. I also dont buy in middle school. I feel that is what most everyone else is doing. I think it gets to extreme with everyone trying to out do each other. I know I have heard from teachers some of their best gifts were notes from the students,
I LOVE your new look! Good for you! You look awesome!
