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.
My point is, the never used to sell specific cards/gifts, it was a thing that some people would occasionally do if the teacher deserved it/was leaving etc...now they have made it semi-compulsory.
Clinton's know how to manipulate the sheep among you, mark my words on this one...in the next couple of years they will start trying to sell you "Christmas in July" cards:

The shopping channels are laying the ground work on that one, Bid Up TV have their Christmas shopping specials on 25th July.We have removed your signature - please contact the forum team if you are not sure why - Forum Team0 -
I used to get my teachers presents when I was at school, certainly remember almost everyone buying for one middle school teacher who was lovely, I was 11 then so 22 years ago, nothing to do with clintons and everything to do with recognising hard work, just as I gave my midwife flowers and a thankyou card and gave a friend who spent hours mending my washing machine a bottle of whisky!0

Hi Jakesmummy - my order came and I should have had a pomegranate body butter 200ml but it was missing and I had to phone them up. Paperwork said it was dispatched but nothing in the box..This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -
