    Secondary or primary? Primary may be different but I am a secondary teacher and get one or two presents, no more! It doesn't matter to me of course - I do love getting cards though that they have written themselves!
  • we are going to try making baubles.

    i have bought some polystyrene balls so ds is going to cover them in glitter, add a pretty ribbon to hang, and i was thinking of getting him to write the teachers name on it with them 3d paint pen things. he is in year 1 so not too sure how that bit will turn out?
    then wrap in cellophane and add a gift tag.
    **Waiting for a BIG win!**

    Thank you all posters!

    That sounds like a lovely idea, where did you get the balls?
  • Also any teachers out there?

    Any thing that you get that you get lots of and would rather not?! LOL

  • Pots of gold for teacher, TAs and the ladies in the office (using the Gu ramekins I got earlier this year on half price :D) with Poundland mini Twixes, Werther's, Gold Bars and gold coins. Bit of gold tissue paper and cello and they'll look great for very few ££

    Edit: I've just totted it up and I've spent £4 and have enough for 8 pots, maybe more.
    They call me Dr Worm... I'm interested in things; I'm not a real doctor but I am a real worm. :grin:
  • My sister is a teacher and always prefers wine - if you know what they drink!
