Present for male teacher who doesn't drink?

[HousewifeOfOrangeCounty]

I don't know what to get him, can't do all the fallbacks like candles, smelly stuff or wine.

We will write him a nice letter as he's been fab, but what pressie?

[mistressploppy]

Posh foodie stuff, like truffle oil or stuffed olives?

[ja9]

the letter will mean the world...

shop voucher - hmv, next?

i got a cinema voucher from a pupil this term...

[lucykate]

dd has a male teacher, we were thinking a £5 i-tunes voucher as music is kind of his thing.

[mistressploppy]

I nearly said Itunes voucher!

[ja9]

great idea!

[HappyMummyOfOne]

I'd say cinema voucher too, I never get itunes unless I know they have an apple product to use it on.

[janeite]

Yes to posh olives. Or moleskin notebooks. Or good cheese and biscuits.

[nannynick]

M&S voucher if there is an M&S store nearby. The voucher can then be used for various things - including passing to someone else if necessary.

As a bloke (not a teacher mind... I'm a nanny) I wouldn't say no to an M&S voucher.

[crunchbag]

Bookshop voucher

[LadyLapsang]

Amazon voucher (lots of choice and good value)

Cinema voucher

Theatre tokens

Good olive oil / coffee etc.

If you know his interests, something on the subject; although be warned, I once so delighted DS's teacher by a pressie that picked up on a conversation we had years back that he rung me at home to thank me. Trouble was DS's friends were at our house and DS picked up the phone, I got some very funny looks as he hadn't rung their parents!!

[HousewifeOfOrangeCounty]

Brilliant ideas - will get ds to find out if he has an ipod and probably get itunes voucher.

[kreecherlivesupstairs]

Cock ring and butt plug? Seriously though, we were in the same dilemma over DD's very gay bus driver who has no vices apart from a really dodgy hair cut. I regifted a glossy book about people from around the world.

Gifts are not expected by most teachers but I don't know any who don't appreciate a voucher.

Would suggest not a tie! The male teachers I know are always given so many at the end of term. Must be the male equivelant of bubble bath or a candle! x

They have some good pressies in John Lewis which are suitable. One with 3 different funky cooking oils, one with 3 different pates, one with cheese and biccies, one with chutneys. All look fab and yummy and not at all girly. DH (though not a teacher) bwould love them all!

20 Benson and Hedges.

I would say book shop voucher.

I got DS2's male teacher an itunes voucher last year, but he was in his mid -twenties so a safe bet that he owns an Ipod of some description.
