Several of my students showed up at our BBQ last night with end-of-the-semester gifts for me, which I was not expecting. Anyway, I thought I would share some of the interesting gifts I have received from them...
First off, I have one female student who is in her 40s. She brings me gifts on a weekly basis. Sometimes it's a couple fun-sized candy bars. Other times it's cheap jewelry and knick-knacks. Here are a few of the things she's given me:
 |
| Earrings from the Cracker Barrel Old Country Store. My ears were burning after an hour of wearing them. |
 |
| a keychain from her field trip to Nashville |
 |
| text messages filled with emoticons and unexplainable images |
Yesterday, I received these gifts from three of my students...
 |
Not sure where I'll wear these $8 earrings...
she left the price tag on. |
 |
| a Swarovski black crystal necklace in the shape of a little boy... |
 |
| Cute? Weird? I can't decide. |
 |
| I know I'll actually use this one. Yay! |
My students were really sweet to bring me gifts. I just think some of them are so funny! And I wonder how much that Swarovski necklace cost...
The Swarovski pendants start at about $60. It's an expensive, but kind of strange, gift. Maybe it has some meaning in Chinese?
ReplyDeleteThese are such cute gifts and obviously have meaning to the giver. You are so loved! :)
ReplyDeleteI have one of Mom's brooches from the 1950's that you can wear with those $8 "diamond" earrings...
