    In my day they just got apples :-) How much are you wanting to spend?

    £20-30. She has been a godsend and is a fantastic teacher.

    Lidl do a really nice Bordeaux for just over £3. (It's comparable to the £7-8 bottles from the supermarkets I'm told)

    It's only a game

    I really really like Faustino wine.

    How about a bottle of wine and a voucher for somewhere like Borders? I would love that as a pressie!
  • You could get her an M&S voucher. She can buy wine and some other goodies. Wow - £20-30. I must have been a cheapskate. My kids' teachers got a box of choccies or bubble bath. :o
    We could all learn a little something from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.

    TO spend £20 - £30 you'd be better off going to a decent wine shop rather than a supermarket. They'll be able to advise you on what to get too.

    somerfield have lindemans wine on offer at the moment for £3.99 you will find alot of the supermarkets have wine on half price and often its the £8-£10 bottles that are half price so maybe get her one of those and a box of nice choccies.

    There are some organic fairtrade wines out there that cost a bit more but would be nice as a gift.

    Also most teachers I know and work with, like thier wine me included and i only drink white and wouldnt know difference between an £8 bottle and a £30 bottle so unless she is a wine conniesuer then a bottle more than £10 may not be worth buying as she may not relaise its quality and value.
