If you want to get each individual gifts perhaps you consider making salt dough christmas decorations, cheap and fun to make.

or you could consider an oxfam unwrapped gift for a combined present to all the staff

Strawberry white hot chocolate. Strawberry nesquick, a few white chocolate buttons and marshmallows. Recipe is just add milk to strawberry milkshake and break up the buttons microwave for about 1m 30sec add marshmallows to the top.

I came up with this after trying it at Thorntons about 3-4 years ago they have not done it since.

It does need a catchy name any suggestions?

I wouldn't bother with a present, a card showing your appreciation is more than enough. I would never eat anything home made that a student bought in, I have to watch them repeatedly using the toilet without washing their hands, not appetising!

I really like the special cards/ notes. They are the things I keep in a treasured book and look at when it's been a bad week.

To go with a nice card
How about pots of gold?
Old jam jar filled with gold covered sweets & a lotto scratch card inside.
Your children could decorate the jars with Christmas stickers

I wouldn't eat anything homemade from someone i didnt know either.

Last year we made Santa sleighs for teachers & TAs. Instead of chocolate bars, we made some Xmas decs from beads & wrapped them up. Bought beads, choc Santas, candy canes & florist wire from the market & the base of the sleigh was cardboard covered in wrapping paper

ive made hot chocolate on a stick, the lazy way, nutella in a silicon case, pop a lolly stick in, bang it in the fridge, kids have made little tags, im putting them in cellophane sweet bags with a few mini marshmellows and bish bash bosh!

A box of nice biscuits for the staff room and cards made by the children for each teacher.
