Ideas for good luck/thank you present?

daisiegg

Wondering if anyone has any bright ideas.

I have had a trainee teacher working with some of my classes since January and she is due to leave soon. She has been absolutely brilliant and in particular has gone above and beyond to teach extra lessons etc while I have been in and out of work due to complications with my pregnancy.

Although we get on well I have not really spent much time or socialised with her so I am really stuck on what she might like. I want to get her something very nice to show how much I have appreciated her.

She is in her very early twenties (maybe 21), I think single, and lives with parents and probably will for a while yet. She is a Cambridge graduate and (in the loveliest possible way!) quite a 'jolly hockey sticks' type Oh, the subject we teach is English.

I know none of you know her any better than me but can anyone think of generally a really nice good luck/thank you gift? She will get something from the department as a whole too and we usually give a complete works of Shakespeare to our trainees. But seeing as she has done so much extra for me I wanted to get her something from me too.

Any thoughts?! Thanks v much in advance!

Gift vouchers for The Globe Theatre?

A lovely scarf or pashmina if she wears them, or fancy stationery/notebook type stuff that you wouldn't buy yourself but would use......?

Ooh I love both those ideas! Theatre vouchers sound great. She is a scarf wearer now you mention it. And loves stationery. Why didn't I think of that?! I blame baby brain...

Ha ha! Don't expect baby brain to disappear once he/she's here! My daughter will be 15 this year and I still get episodes of brain fog even now

My adult niece is a NQT and last year in her final one as a student we bought her as presents, a watch, thinking she'd need to keep an eye on the time and couldn't really be whipping her phone out to look, a nice pen for all the marking she'd be doing and make up that came in a bag that could later become a pencil case.
