Gift Card For Teachers

Our little one is in a new preschool - smallish center that's in between home daycare and professional preschool. There are about 6 teachers each with a small class of students of their own. A few times a week the teachers swap classes for short periods - due to circumstances or pool their students together because some teacher has prep work or personal work.

We are working on a hand-written note by me and a drawing (with help) by kid for each of the teachers.

I would like to add a gift card for each of the teachers. Please suggest amounts (or ranges) for primary teacher and other teachers in school. I wouldn't want to overdo/underdo it and make these new "relationships" uncomfortable/inappropriate in anyway. Also any suggestions on which gift card to go for: Amazon/Starbucks/Target/Michaels or any other place?

Note: I do like the teachers a lot - they are warm, friendly and greet us with a smile every morning. They do a good job of taking care of the kids.

 

Thank you @Rihana - I was wishing you would answer. It is my first-time foray in this sort of thing. Never grew up giving teachers gifts other than writing poems for them or sweet treats for the ones who were special mentors to me for some milestone (first job, graduation).

The school owner who doesn't speak much recently chatted with me and talked of how difficult it is to retain teachers. And how she tries to pay them above market rate - but we live in a high-cost of living city and it is really hard for the teachers. So my estimate was ~4x of what you said - please don't beat me up. A local parenting group suggested 1 day's pay as bonus so that was my ballpark given that the class sizes are quite small in this school (and some parents may or may not know of this practice in the US). I'll tone it down and wait for others to give some numbers they think are reasonable. I was also going to give the gift in private so that it doesn't peer-pressure others.
