This is the first time we've had a male teacher and I was wondering what types of GCs they might like. I like to keep Christmas gifts to $15.
These come to mind:
Target
Starbucks
I don't really know what restaurants they like or whether they would use specific movie tix since they live in different cities.
Any other practical ideas? I'll attach it to a small bag of good chocolates.

iTunes
Amazon

I would do either of your suggestions of if there is any local version of Starbucks, snack, lunch or treat place located near the school I'd do that.

I went with Target for our male teacher.

How about Panera or Chipotle?

Frozen yogurt place?
We have a new Racetrac gas/convenient store in our neighborhood. I would do that for a male teacher here. They can get a coffee, gas, food, frozen yogurt...

I always do a Visa gift card from my bank. The bank doesn't charge a fee, and the recipient can spend the money anywhere that accepts Visa.

Starbucks or local place, Visa if you don't have to pay a fee, amazon or local bookstore. For $15 I would pass on REI or similar since fewer things there for that amount and shipping isn't free unless you spend more generally. I don't think I would do much different for a male teacher.

Here's something about iTunes though. I was about to buy one for our male teacher since I know he's into music but he doesn't have an iphone nor does he use Apple products.

I gave ours a book about presidents for his classroom ( he loves history and presidents) and a gift card to wegmans.
I'd do Target. Of course, that's my go to for the female teachers, too.

My husband said Amazon -- so that's what I did. I would have picked Target - but I went with the male vote on this one.

Target. barnes & Noble. Those are my favorite gift cards for teachers, and also work for both genders. Bonus!

We did Target two years in a row for DS's male teacher.

Great ideas! I think I'll save Amazon for end of the year because we give a bigger gc at that time.
For now, still undecided but there are some good choices.

I'd agree. I don't have any idea what types of phones any of my kids teachers have. iTunes is so specific of a card, I'd skip it.
I'd do Target.
