Its my best friends birthday coming up, and Id love to make her a hamper (did one last year and she loved it).
But shes recently qualified as a teacher and is starting her first job in January
Im so proud of her for getting a job that Id like to make a teacher themed hamper! Happy to make it a bit of fun as well.
So far Ive come up with ear plugs and a nice mug (for the staff room). But I cant think of anything else that could be classed as teachery?
Any ideas?

A pocketful of patience (could be made like a flat pin cushion and then used as a coaster, try putting some dried lavender in it for its calming properties!).0

Stickers for the children (can often be found on the freebie forum).
We use green pens instead of red - so maybe a selection of pens.
A selection of break time pick me ups - sachets of hot chocolate, coffee, tea, and some of her favourite biccies.0 -
depends if its primary or secondary really
the former would suggest a bottle of wine to help wind down - the latter - scotch or gin
in either case pair of slippers for when she gets home, a bell for her bike, some leather elbow protectors and a pipe
some CDs relaxing and soothing, some holoday brochures now she gets 10 weeks a year
.. er that's itI think I saw you in an ice cream parlour
Drinking milk shakes, cold and long
Smiling and waving and looking so fine0 -
some packets of stickers or a 'well done' stamp for marking the children's work.0
