Christmas presents for teachers and TA's?

[Rory786]

Hi everyone, DD aged 6 is in yr 1 and she has 2 teachers and 3 TA's ! What on earth can I get that is tasteful but cheap!

I've got some cute Christmas candles from etsy, £3.50 each, personalised with the teacher /TA's name and a different picture on each one. I needed six so I was really pleased to find these!

Thats a great idea Kitty!

Just buy a box of biscuits for the staffroom.

We bought little jams and chutneys - three each, wrapped up like a Christmas cracker.

Teacher here...
Please DO NOT feel pressured to buy gifts! They are appreciated but not expected. Heartfelt note in a handmade card is all that's needed.

If your child does want to give something, then make it personal. We have mugs, chocolates, candles, etc in abundance. Useful things like post it notes, pens in the school's designated marking colour, notebooks, etc are always a good bet.

A plant is good.

I would rather not get a present. Sounds nasty but I have so many boxes of Thornton’s I don’t want and body lotions I won’t ever use.

PepperSteaks Donate them all to the local food bank. That's what I did with the many toiletry sets I would never use.

Rory786 I am a teacher and I have bought my own child's teachers / TAs a notebook each (£1.50 each from the works) As has been said already though, we don't expect gifts!

Thank you MrsL I hadn’t thought of that.

Nothing

I don't normally buy anything for Xmas, but I think this year,I will buy some cakes and biscuits for the staff room.

.....my go to Xmas gift is Xmas socks - I buy them from Tesco's and are 3 for 2 (£5 for 3 pairs).

I would say a box of biscuits or chocolates for the staff room would be appreciated.
