Hello,
I've got two toddlers who are in different classes within the same pre-school. Between them they have 10 teachers. What token (and by token I mean as cheap as!) gift could I get them?
I'd rather give them something they could split between them but not coming up with an awful lot.
Any ideas?

    At Christmas, I do bake a batch of cookies and take them to the office to thank the admin staff. At the end of the school year, my son's teachers are given a card and my seven-year-old writes a 'thank you' note. Why not get your little ones to draw or a paint a picture and you write a 'thank you' on the back? Teachers love the home-made stuff much more. Hope that helps!

    Do they not get a 'gift' every month in the form of a pay cheque?

    Do you get your dentist or doctor or binmen gifts? or is their job less important?

    I think buying teachers gifts is a totally ridiculous idea!

    I don't get it either. I saw cards for teachers in the shop the other day! When did that happen???

    Give em cash and tell them to pay it into their pension fund. Might help with the cuts.
