FAQS 

Are teachers allowed to accept Valentine’s Day gifts?

Yes. Teachers are allowed to accept Valentine’s gifts from students provided that the kids are also giving gifts to all their other class teachers. Otherwise, it would be more practical just to skip Valentine presents altogether and go for the card. 

Is $100 too much for a teacher’s Valentine’s Day gift?

Yes. Spending $100 on a teacher’s Valentine’s gift is too much. It’s better to stay within the range of $20 to $50 when choosing Valentine’s Day gifts. Also, we know it’s cliche, but we shouldn’t forget that presents aren’t just about the money, but rather the appreciation behind them.
