The top voted answer for those too lazy to click:

When getting Christmas presents for VCE students, it is important to consider how it will affect or benefit the students' performance. The aim is to enhance the student's performance and minimise possible procrastination. A present may not be appropriate, but alternatives could be sought. Here are some examples:

Bad

    * Computer games: Addictive and negatively impacts performance. Could lead to poor time management (I have actually seen how this led to a 'high school dropout')
    * Car: Could encourage late night partying and going to unwanted places during the school year

Good

    * Music Gift Cards (E.g. iTunes & BigPond): Though one could say music causes distraction it could help in relaxation for some. This could definitely prevent possible procrastination compared to computer games. I've gotten these for purchasing music, and they definitely drew my attention away from games.
    * Magazine/Newspaper subscriptions: For those who haven't been keeping up with current affairs, a gift like this would promote a positive change such as to encourage reading. This could help students with preparation for VCE English during summer.

Therefore, it is important to make a list of possible presents and separate them into 'Good' or 'Bad'. Doing this will allow one to decide alternatives to 'Bad' presents. This method of deciding presents can also be used when giving incentives during the year.
