    An Apple? :D


    Actually - having said that - there is a very real possibility (if I get the recipe right) that eldests teacher will be getting some HM Apple Jam.

    We're just going to make up a smaller version of the baking hampers we're doing for the family - peppermint creams, brownie and jam in a nice decorated box.

    How about a wooden ruler with...."Teachers Rule Ok" ..."My teacher rules" or something else written on it?

    We have made these before (ruler 25p) and have made two holes each end to thread wire on so it can be hung up.

    A good gift for teachers is a bottle of wine. If you look for offers, you can get a decent bottle for £4 or less if you're buying a few bottles. The thinking behind this is that it's a gift that they can pass on if they need to or take out to a party etc. I know teachers are thrilled whatever they get but over the whole year, they can end up with many mugs/boxes of chocs etc.

    bottle of wine to de-stress

    Thats what the missus (primary teacher) appreciates anyway!!
    I appreciate sharing it!

    Usually something that gets drunk or eaten is best because otherwise you just end up with more & more mugs, rulers etc.

    Speaking as someone who works in school may I repeat the appeal for wine! Unless of course you know the member of staff does not drink, in which case it is always lovely to accept things that the children themselves have made with a card MADE BY THE CHILD!!

    My daughter is a teacher and I know she uses lots of stickers for the childrens work- smiley faces etc. But a thankyou is always more than appreciated. Foot lotion might be appreciated as well- they spend a lot of time on their feet- support tights- fine ones of course.
    Are those shopping bags you're carrying really bags of debt???

    another idea might be a roll-on headache relief.
