Is it too early to decide on what to knit for Christmas

Ok I want to start my Christmas knitting for my children's teachers. I now will have four things to knit this year as Elizabeth will be starting preschool in the fall. So I have Christopher's teacher (whom we do not know who yet because some 4th grade teachers retired), Nicholas who's teacher is Mrs. Cook and Elizabeth will have a teacher (whom we don't know yet) and she will likely have an aide. So that's four. If they are all women I would like to do dishcloths again this year and then I will put kitchen handsoap and hand lotion like I did two years ago. If Christopher has a male teacher then maybe he can get a scarf. So that's my plan. Thanks for helping me with that decision, now I just need more cotton and I need to see what patterns I will be doing. I think I will make the DW cloth (actually two of them per teacher), it's fairly easy.
