Just FYI: a DonorsChoose gift card is a great idea. The recipient gets to browse teachers' projects and pick one to fund, and when the project is complete, several weeks to months later, they'll get a letter from the teacher and thank-you notes from students.
I just got the thank-you package for one of the projects I contributed to during my DonorsChoose Challenge, and it was adorable. I also received a generous gift in my name from one of my readers - thank you! - so I get to look forward to even more thank-yous down the line. It's a feel-good experience all around.
PS. no, they totally do not pay me or Sb to say this. :)
