DAYTON, Ohio — It’s not unusual for parents to get their child’s teacher a present around Christmas.

But parents in Ohio came up with a practical gift this year.

D.J. Sommers of Dayton, Ohio, said his parents usually give teachers a candle or flower to say thanks. But this year, they got bottles of wine with a picture of D.J.’s younger brother on the label and a message — "Our child might be the reason you drink, so enjoy this bottle on us."
