One of my good friends is a kindergarten teacher... she has said that some of her favorite gifts include:
coffee mug w/ good coffee (from a local coffee shop, not like Maxwell House)
bookstore gift card
movie theater gift cards (or movie rental gift cards and microwave popcorn)
Wal-Mart or Target gift cards (like ZTABullwinkle said, this would usually be spent on school supplies)
One parent (whom she personally knows) actually gave her two home-printed coupons: one for a home-cooked meal with all the sides and drinks, and the other for a free babysitter so she and her husband could have a date night.
That last one was my friend's favorite, but I can't imagine that'd go over well unless you know the teacher personally.
I also like ZTA's suggestions of a restaurant gift card and a manicure!
