Any ideas on what to buy a newly qualified teacher

Need some ideas on what to buy a newly qualified teacher, spending about £20 - £30 ish.

Thought about books and pens etc, but wanted something a little special.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    What about a really nice pen set. Or a personal organiser, that would be useful for a teacher!!

    Or you could get them one of those desk organiser thingies

    Hope that helps x

    I work in a school, and a Taser immediately springs to mind. Oops, a bit over budget.

    This is a nice book - but you'll have to think if she'd mind getting a book about work. The classroom management one by the same author is excellent too but the swear filter doesn't like the link!

    My mums a teacher and I think she would like a hammer to knock herself out with at the end of each day:p ! What about a satchel, god knows the amount of stuff they have to bring to and from school. My mum has a really nice big brown leather one and she says its a god send
  • something funny together with a serious book about teaching :)
  • Hi chocogirl,i'm a newly qualified teacher and thought that the hampers that some of the others on here have made are amazing! Why not something like that with a few pampering goodies, chocs etc and then some nice bits for the classroom- i know im always trawling the pound shop sfor things for my class like sparkly paper, glitter glue, pens etc? then you cover all areas? I know that as an nqt i'd love something like that!! x
