Teacher gifts

[WhereIBelong]

We never did gifts, but always did a card that the kids wrote themselves.

One year DD- aged 7 put in a Freddo frog that she had bought with her own pocket money. Brought a tear to my eye, so goodness knows about the teacher...

Im in Scotland so the kids finished up on the 28th. For summer and Xmas we do a class collection normally £5 each. Means they don't get loads of mugs or pencils. We have bought meal vouchers and Amazon vouchers in the past. Some other classes have bought Pandora jewellery too x

I personally don’t like the idea of a child giving alcohol to teachers. It’s so bad for you and a cancer risk (can’t see anyone putting a packet of cigs in a gift bag), bit that’s a whole other thread.
I think something personal, hand made card, picture etc
Last year I got my son’s teacher & TA a gift aid card with a donation in their name for educational supplies etc in a deprived country. Loads to choose from. Both the teacher & TA cried.
My daughter once did a poem when she was about 8 about her teacher and how amazing she was, that also resulted in tears.

My kids teachers are getting wine
I’m quite sure after a year in classes with 42 kids they need it badly

My DS has 2 teachers - one male, got him a Costa voucher and a Thornton’s chocolate plaque and the woman, I got some nice things from Paperchase and some posh chocs x

We have got together as a class, each put £10 in and we split it across the teacher and the ta. Easiest way and then don’t have to think what to buy!

Thank you for that idea I’ve just bought skipping ropes from one teacher water buckets for another and salts for another
(To go with the bottle of wine)

We get the teachers and classroom assistants a £10 next or M&S gift card that way they can buy what they want - clothes or a meal in
