I buy Yankee Candles for my kids teachers as a gift. One of my twins teacher will not be getting anything, tough. She was about as friendly as Cruella DeVille.
One of the PTA fundraisers this year was Yankee Candles - bought one for my SIL, but never thought to stockpile a few of them - oh well, there is always next year :)
Knock on wood, so far I haven't run into any of the Cruella deVille type teachers, yet!
