My 1975 Eighth Grade Band gave me a gift became one of my most treasured memories as a music teacher--a simple engraved plaque that was made in the school tech shoppe proclaiming me the "Best Band and Orchestra Director in the World." There have been other, more expensive birthday, Christmas and years end gifts, but that one somehow--in spite of the "overstatement"--was most touching.
Also, you should check with your principal as some school districts--including my old one--limit the $ amount of a gift that teachers, and other staff, can accept from students or parents.
Never received a set of earmuffs, however. Too bad, though, as I now suffer from constant tinitus and have significant upper frequency hearing loss--probably as a result of listening for all of those "inappropriate note choices" over my 34 yr teaching career.
IMHO, a gift that simply says something like 'thank you--you made music fun' would be most appropriate and meaningul.
