I give my sons rebbeim a bottle of wine and chocolates. In the past I also gave the ladies same as rebbe. I feel like wine is more of a guy thing especially if the teacher is pregnant. I would love to give them something that I know they'll enjoy - maybe a cheese cake single and a bottled starbucks drinks. The thing is wine and chocolates is easy brainless and looks nice...
What do you do?

Really good whiskey.
(I'm joking. But that's what I would like to get if I were a teacher. Wine is fine. Even if they are pregnant, they can serve it to guests, and that's also a huge help.)

Even if I don't drink wine its still nice to receive it since its an expensive item that I have to buy anyway for shabbos and that yom tov that comes exactly one month after Purim. Even when pregnant I drink a little wine at kiddush.
I would get something like bartenura moscata...most people like it.

Chocolate and an iced coffee will make a very happy teacher if you’re looking for simple.
As a teacher I’ve gotten nosh bags that the kids are giving their friends, elaborate baskets with more theme than food, a plain box of chocolate, and beautiful expensive baskets filled with goodies. Really, we just appreciate seeing that you’re thinking of us and appreciate us.

Scotch. After a day with the children they probably need it. If they are pregnant that can save it for that week when that are post-partim and go back to work. Then they will DEFINITELY need it.

Alternatively, they are not Rabbeyim, they are just women, so can't you just give them a bag of Bissili, a lollipop, and a juice box like everyone else?

I used to save the wines for Seder night. They were almost always k for p.
Wine is always good. Wine is my favorite.

Morahs don't deserve kavod? “Just” women?
I’m assuming this is tongue and cheek.

Considering that my previous suggestion was scotch, yes, it was tongue and cheek.
Why wouldn't you just give the Morahs the same as the Rebbeyim? Don't they deserve the same amount of appreciation and respect? Don't you value all of your children's education?

I didn't connect the two comments!
We give all of our kids teachers the same mm. BH we don't live in one of the communities where you are expected to tuck a check into a Rebbe mm. We do a bottle of wine (the cheap kedem wine that's perfect for seder wine) and a chocolate bar. We don't have a lot of kids so the cost does not add up to that much.

While we’re on this topic, what tip amount is appropriate, and do you give the same for rebbes and morahs?

I tip the Rebbeim more, because men inhertently deserve more money. Doesn't matter that they are doing the sme job as women.

I tip the morahs less since they work less hours. The boys English teacher that works less hours also gets less than the rebbe.

Easy and brainless is also a box of beautiful chocolates and a chocolate liquor.
