I do gift cards to our local teacher's supply store too. I only do classroom teachers.
My Mom and sister (I was until I had kids) are teachers. You just get so much "stuff" from the kids, not that it isn't appreciated, but after awhile it is like what do you do with it all. There is always neat stuff at the teacher's store that they'd like to have for their classrooms, but would have to pay out of pocket to purchase.
I would think the hand sanitizer would be welcome also
