Class teacher gift - approx 55-60 yrs old no partner no kids

[EnchentButteler]

Begging Looking for inspiration for a class teacher gift to be bought between 25 parents please! Lady is approximately 55-60 years old, wears no wedding ring/goes by Miss and has no children. Would love some ideas for a joint class gift around £50. Thank you for reading.

I'm not quite sure why her marital status/lack of children has anything to do with the issue. Maybe a gift voucher (Amazon?) and some flowers?

Amazon gift cards are the safest bet. I too am puzzled as to why marital status / children are relevant.

How bizarre, why does her marital status one into it?!

Gift vouchers, chocolates, a candle, a plant, flowers, wine?

What the fuck has it got to do with her married status and child status ignored it’s a gift for her?! I hope people buy me gifts for my birthday and not my dd!

If it’s* not ignored darn phone

Gift voucher is always a safe option. Cinema / eating out / Amazon always goes down well in our school.

Didn't you know? Amazon have a special gift category for single women over 40 with no children. We don't like the same things as 'normal' women our age so it's really important to ensure the gift you select is chosen PURELY with our age, relationship and child baring status in mind.

Or if that's completely fucking irrelevant (clue, it is) you could just ask 'best present ideas for a Teacher?' Or check out the many many other posts asking the same question.

Thanks for the deeply unhelpful comments. It's to give a picture of there being no point buying her something associated with a partner or children/grandchildren. You've never met her and that is literally all I know about her apart from what she looks like and I have no intention of buying her clothes An Amazon voucher seems too impersonal.

Teacher presents give generic tat so I wanted something more interesting that she might actually like having probably received lots of tat over the years.

A nice plant or some stationery and then the rest in vouchers?

Spa day voucher
Pamper hamper
Book voucher
Nice candle/wax burner

Stationery sounds like a nice idea thank you.

What about a decent diary / organiser for next year and some nice stationary ? An interesting plant for the classroom may go down well (( carnivorous plants such as Venus flytrap etc ))

I might ask a parent to pop in and check if she has plants/room for another

What's the budget?

Could you cover a 6 month subscription to this papergang.ohhdeer.com/ and some flowers. At least stationary is useful and it might be nice for her to get something lovely through the post. You'd have to send it to the school but that cna't be impossible can it?

Obviously not looking for an excuse to subscribe to this myself... no way

Stationery is a crap gift, a bit like giving a carpenter a cheap saw but with diamonte- so isn't it wow.

Don't but a class gift- you risk wasting a lot of money on something that will not be wanted or used. Just give small individual ones or even better sit down and write a letter stating why you appreciate her. Preferred by all teachers.

£2 each probably says that you didn't value her that much- so maybe just leave it.

You are suggesting a venus fly trap as a whole class gift? Offensive and passive aggressive?

@lostinnorfolk - best the op scraps any ideas in my post then :)

If I wanted to buy a teacher a gift equivalent to giving a carpenter a saw I'd present them with a lovely package containing a decorated periodic table, a huge times table poster and an alphabet frieze

That papergang looks great! If I can work out how to pre pay without autorenewing I think that could be a winner!

As a class everyone is pretty meh about her but she has worked hard this year so deserves something nice even though we're all glad the year has nearly finished. I don't want to put no effort in just because of that.

It's a bit of work, but how about asking each child to draw a picture -maybe of themselves, or the teacher, or themselves with the teacher, and each child adds a note saying thank u etc, and then putting them all in a scrap book type thing. Takes a bit of organising, but will be cheap, very sentimental and easy for the teacher to store. Could always top up with some wine, chocs, candle etc.

I would love to do this for, but dd is at nursery at the mo so has multiple teachers. Plus I dont know very many of the parents to ask! Maybe whe she gets to school....

Sorry-have assumed the kids are quite young-forgot to ask how old they are? This idea obvs better for younger children

Voucher for Amazon or large nearby department store. Make it personal with a card from you and/or child.
