/' can coolers and even mezuzot made from clear Lucite can be filled with a variety of designs and colors from a needlepoint canvas. Ms. Einstandig points out that the gift can be finished by the gift-giver or given as a set for the teacher to do it herself. Prices range from $5 to $15. Ms. Einstandig's favorite gift for Chanukah is the "Personal Protector" ($20). This is a unique stain-glass "person" standing about five inches tall that can be customized any way that the buy- er wants. The Hebrew teacher is even holding a Hebrew textbook! Each figure comes with a note ex- plaining what the recipient will be "protected" from, such as "the class clown, the excuse giver and the unprepared student." She likes this manufacturer because no request for specialization has ever been denied. •• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • E lizabeth Green expects the Lucite picture frame decorated with Chanukah symbols, such as menorahs, dreidels and candles, to be a big seller. When Annette Friedman, a teacher in West Bloomfield, was asked about her favorite teach- ers' gifts, she remembers the most useful gifts as three gift cer- tificates she received—one to the movies, one to a bookstore and one to Blockbuster Video. Lynne Roman, a Hebrew teacher at Temple Beth El, agrees saying, "It was fun to browse around Bookpeople" when she got a gift certificate there. So if you can't decide on the perfect gift for a certain teacher, you can always stop at the local shopping center and enclose a gift certificate in a really nice Chanukah card. The main thing that teachers really appreciate, no matter what you choose to spend, is being remembered by their students. Money-Saving Tips Costly ingredients are a nice treat, but they can send a food budget into the stratosphere. Try using plain yogurt instead of creme fraiche, for instance, or dry sherry instead of Madeira wine. Inexpensive button mushrooms can stand in for wild mushrooms.
