I think I need to move away from that literary gifts website before I buy myself a lot of presents I've always fancied one of the personal library kits.

No, it morphs straight into Alzheimer's via the menopause.

Literary jewellery might make a nice token gift. I'm waiting for my first order to arrive for gifts

A watch maybe?? Every teacher needs a watch. Actually anyone who works in a school needs a watch IMO:rotfl:

Maybe buy her some stationery supplies from PTS or something and make her up a wee basket of things she will need/use in future. I don't know what age you teach but if it's Primary school age maybe stickers/pens/pencils/reward stamps/sticky notes etc.

We had a trainee teacher in with us and she finished just before Easter, she loved our teachers collection of stickers and the stickers I have in my own drawer (I'm a classroom assistant) that I would give out now and again, and when she was leaving I gave her some of my stickers and the teacher gave her a sheet of each of hers also lol. She also like the teachers magic pointer that we use for reading in the classroom so my teacher bought her a large and small one of those also. She was over the moon with them:rotfl:


P.S I'm staying well clear of any links that are being posted o here as I now I will get lost in them and possibly spend money don't have:o

She probably has most important literary reference books, but if not the Oxford a Companion to English Literature is handy to have on a shelf in her classroom.

Otherwise, a theatre voucher, preferably not tied to a particular theatre.

I've just looked at the links. Can't think of anything more horrid than that Shakespeare scarf and the jewellery made from old books.

I love the grammar mugs, though! Wish I'd seen them before I retired and would have had the set to rotate in class and in the staff room!

Edit to add: just love the literary gifts site. Saved it and that's my present list sorted for a couple of years.
