I taught elementary school for a dozen years and only received a couple of apples. Some of the things students gave me were: key chains, pictures they drew, coffee mugs, stickers, hugs, books, and other miscellaneous gifts.

In my 12th year of teaching, one of my 3rd grade students brought an apple in for me. I was extremely touched by this, especially because he was student from a very tough home.
Apples continue to be a gift theme, but I tend to get a lot more Dunkin Donuts or bookstore gift cards these days (both of which are put to good use!). I have to say though, some of my favorite gifts have been letters and cards from my students that I have been able to keep over the years.

Some of my students bring gifts from time to time. Some are quite nice and I even get cookies and treats now and then.

Well... on the third day of school one of my first graders brought me a frog that he caught in his front yard. Does that count?
