Def. chocolates. A gift card says "I couldn't be bothered spending the time choosing something appropriate for you."

giftcards aren't at all personal and inappropriate to show exactly how much you spent on them.

For my favourite teachers, I went to a ceramic place and made a personalised mug for them and filled it with chocolates. Otherwise, chocolates are a standard, but appreciated and won't go to waste (which giftcards often do)

Also think outside the square. Do they like a drink ---> bottle of wine or boutique beer pack. Or a fruit basket. An impressive gift pen. A tie (for a man, if he wears them). A scarf for a female.
Trust me, teachers will always be touched when a student takes the time to acknowledge their contribution.

We got our Biology teacher two framed photos of our class with quotes, etc. and a box of chocolates.

For the teachers I'd give stuff to, I reckon a case of beer would be their ideal gift haha, except the school would rape me on sight for carrying that.

I'm reckoning a nice thank you card for all my teachers, probs the stock chocolates for the ones I don't know that well and something more thoughtful for the ones I know a lot better. Like something quirky to their sub area, if you know they like a drink,, some wine or champagne or if you know anything else they like, something to do with that. One of my teachers is absolutely obsessed with penguins, so I'd probs get something to do with that.

When were you guys planning to give gifts? I was going in the last day of school when I get my results to thank them all (but one of my fav teachers is overseas then so I might go visit her after the Dec assembly I probs have to go to and give hers then). But then after sitting the HSC worried it may be hard to go in and thank if my results are bad :p But surely it'll be balanced out by a subject I'm happy with to make it worth it.
