    I too saw plenty of these in a Body Shop store today, lining was plain.
    Its not that we have more patience as we grow older, its just that we're too tired to care about all the pointless drama ;)

    Loads in Aberdeen today bought some to put passed for Christmas presents. :j
  • Just bought 2 presents for DH for his birthday, 2 teachers leaving presents, 2 presents for DD & got a free mango body butter came to just over £22 inc free delivery.

    Wanted the vanity case, wonder if it will come back in stock again?

    Schools break up on Friday so hoping the teachers presents come in time, do you think they will?

    teachers presents

    Yeah, I've noticed this has become a big thing in the last few years...a complete con devised by Clinton's to make you part with even more cash. We never had that rubbish when I went to school in the 80's/90's.

  • I have always bought teachers presents at the end of school year & at christmas, especially any that are leaving. Even when my eldest was little I have done it, I know when I was at school we did the same too so don't think it's a recent thing.

    It's not a con, I buy nice presents without spending much. I certainly wouldn't spend more than £10 in total for everything (that's 4 people this year, about £2.50 each on average) so don't think it's that much really.
