While I can imagine teachers taking a lot of the presents to car boot sales or charity shops I, somehow, cannot see them handing over a spa day or a Tiffany necklace? if true these are the gifts teachers receive

I bought some boxes of the £1 celebrations! In my kids jr school, they have their house base teacher, then a dif teacher for English & maths, and then others! My eldest wanted to get 7 presents and found something on the Internet for a fiver each!!!! Errr - no!!!
I have bought my sons house base teacher a personalised notebook (£5 on eBay) as she has been great for him after his previous teachers at previous school.

I've got one leaving in a week, I know I won't be getting anything. I've given him birthday parties, birthday presents, Xmas presents and so on but never had so much as I card bad so I am not expecting anything next week when he's left.

I've always bought a little gift for my sons teachers, and DS makes a card...
This year I'm doing something a little different...we've made these
Found this idea on Pinterest and thought they were fun!

And was thinking about making these up for the new term...

Both these ideas are meant to be useful, thoughtful and will not cost the earth to make

When someone tells you nothing is impossible, tell them to go slam a revolving door

I think so yea, even just a home made card would be lovely but I didn't even get so much as a happy birthday verbally.

Had one leave recently who was the same, I did get a thank you but really thought I might have got a card or flowers or something.

Forced?? Between my 3 kids and various postings my kids have been at 11 schools. Not one of them forced me to buy the teachers a gift.
I don't buy the staff gifts. My twins made one of their teachers a calendar one year for christmas, and I bought a spike milligan nonsense rhyme book for my youngests reception class (an attempt to help the teacher get boys interested in rhyming and reading) but those 2 gifts were a choice, not a requirement.
What a lot of tosh. Always the same with the media. Attention grabbing headline, total twaddle thereafter.

I'm making chocolates for my sons teachers. I love making them and my eldest son is at secondary school and has had the same form tutor for the past 4 years and she looks forward to getting hers!

I make a big box of cupcakes which I hand in for all the teachers at DS's school at Christmas and summer-didn't manage it this time cos our new soon to be adoptive daughter moved in the week before the end of term!! Will do them for the school going back instead to cheer the teachers up

Well all I can say if any of my childrens teachers are expecting a villa, a Tiffany necklace or anything else from ***** list they are going to come unstuck!!
I have bought some vases (£1) and shall fill them with flowers, then wrap them, the male teachers have got jokey presents, again cheap.
One teacher is getting absolutely NOTHING as I don't feel she deserves a thank you, she'll be lucky if I even speak to her again after Friday!! I've never not bought a teacher a thank you present before so this is a first.
