Ideas for leaving presents..

I_am_mad

Hi I am on school placement and will be leaving in 2 weeks time and I wanted to get everyone that has helped me thank you presents but as a student am on a tight budget. I have 7 adults to buy for and then 30 children. I was going to make the children some party bags with some sweets etc in them, does anyone know where I could get party bag stuff in bulk from?

I also want to buy 2 of those adults special presents but not too expensive as they have really helped me. Any ideas will be so gratefully appreciated.

Thank You xx

Whenever I've done party bags I usually go into £ shop by a pack of the spangle pencils and rubbers rulers etc and put one of each and a little choc bar in each bag... Can do 30 party bags for about £6 if your lucky

Buy a tin of sweets for the adults to share

Its a really lovely idea of yours.

Yeah I have seen some nice pencils which I got from tesco was about 12 for £1 got 3 packs and i want to put some sweets in which I can get from b and m bargains. I want to get 2 of the adults something really nice i was thinking of one of those little wallet card u can get from clintons and maybe some nice earrings or plants as they are quite cheap from tesco. Thank for ur ideas tho keep them coming xxxxxxxxx

One place I worked at got me a Wagamama cookery book as part of a leaving pressie; I don't recall what else I got, but I've still got that.

have a look in the pound shop , 99p shop or even supermarket they don't cost that much.
In Tesco atm there are bags of swizzels chews, lollipops & haribo mini bags for a quid!

I'm guessing you're talking primary here? one idea that i saw mentioned on TES once that i thought was lovely was to get the children seeds or a plant or something that they can both nurture and learn from. Or maybe something for wet play days like a special game?

as for your mentors and co, asda had a great offer on with 3 bottle of wine for £10 over christmas, it's worth keeping an eye out for things like that and stocking up. their own brand flaked truffles cost £1 and are heavenly. alternatively, is there anything you could buy them as a collective present, for the staffroom maybe, and then get a little something extra for the two who've really helped you? one of my friends bought a toaster for the staffroom as they didn't have one! an unusual gift which i bet will always be remembered just for being so downright odd :rotfl:
