My DC has a 1:1 TA who is amazing. They are sometimes very, very difficult to handle (meltdowns, including violence) but also very attached and affectionate towards her.
I know (small community) that her life outside school is also pretty full on, including just having taken on a major kinship care commitment. She works two jobs and can’t remember the last time she had a holiday.
I want to show my appreciation for her at the end of term and am lucky enough to have the resources to get her something relatively substantial. I was considering this box of relaxing toiletries but will she actually just look at it and laugh at the idea that she’d have time to use it? What might you think? And if this is off beam, any other ideas? Or is she likely to be embarrassed by the whole thing? Last year we had a similar situation and I bought posh chocolates but this caught my eye because it would be so lovely to think of her relaxing!
