What are some good Pampered Chef products for teachers to use in the classroom?

Our younger son is a senior this year at the same high school our older son graduated from last year. We have been very active in school activities and I know that they have a welcome breakfast for the teachers where they give away prizes to all of them. I am going to donate a Salad & Berry Spinner for them to use. I also had thought about giving a Season's Best to all the teachers but don't have enough, there are 120 teachers, not talking admin & support staff. I like the idea of the coupon for a free one. Would you suggest putting it with a mini-catalog & flyer with the coupon attached? I don't want to just do a coupon because it might get lost. What does everyone think? I was hoping to get orders, parties or fundraisers off of this possibly.

Thanks!

I have never gotten a booking/order from the person who wins the prize. Maybe you'll have better luck. It is a write off.

If you can be in the room when they give it away and see people's response, you might be able to gauge someone's interest and say something like "you can earn one of those for free." You also should ask the coordinator to get the name of the person who wins the prize so that you can contact her directly. I include a 10% off coupon.

WOW! I wish I taught at that school. Our parents NEVER do anything for us!

I would absolutely put it in a mini catalog. 125 mini's would only cost $16 right? I think that would be a good investment.

Our "Back to School" night is tonight. I made small gift bags for each of my children's homeroom teachers that included a can strainer, IC Dipper, & some chocolates. We attached a card signed by my child that reads "I know that the next few days will be a strain, but I am ready to scoop up some learning!"

There wasn't room for a mini-catalog, but I think I may put a catalog in the teachers' workroom with some "Back to School" specials just for teachers. Trying to brainstorm products that can be used in the classroom. Any suggestions??

Depending on the age of the students... Baker's roller, my-safe cutter, and mini cookie cutters for play-dough (or other crafts.)
