Doing the teachers collection for end of year

[mysparkleismissing]

So far I've got prosseco, chocolates/biscuits and a box of homemade & themed collection of cupcakes/biscuits and brownies
Each will get a gift voucher for each of the teachers
Anything else I could add?

Ex teacher here. Kindly, please don't do all this. This is OOT and would make me uncomfortable.
One small gift is sufficient, but not expected.
Personally, I enjoyed getting wine (!!) but too expensive a gift feels "bribey"...

Yeah that's definitely enough. There are often rues as to how much teachers can accept

This is a collection on behalf of all the kids on the class and what we've done multiple years previously

Ah, I didn't fully understand your post's title.
Not wishing to piss on your bonfire @mysparkleismissing, but these gifts are often regifted or taken to charity. Sorry.

Gifts I have enjoyed in the past: Something practical for the classroom like a nice notebook, pens, ‘fancy’ highlighters. A good-sized canvas tote bag. A book linked to our class topics or values that all the children have signed or written a message inside. Good quality water bottle. Lovely travel mug. A video of messages from the children!

Something practical would be nice, high-end stationery or personalized items like notebooks or calendars are great. Edibles are fine imo, I wouldn't say its too much, especially if you've done that before and the gifts were received well. Just don't make more than this, that would be overboard.

Just put cash in a card. Gift vouchers are simply less useful cash.

Money and wine/beer.

That’s perfect OP!

That sounds really nice and thoughtful. Warning - I might not eat homemade cakes: I never eat anything kids might have touched. Also, if going straight off on holiday they could be wasted, same for flowers. (My favourite sort of gift from students is always a voucher, preferably John Lewis or M&S.)

Teachers get paid. This modern fashion of giving them presents is absolute nonsense. They can buy their own presents.
It's a keeping-up-with-the-Joneses commercial racket.
Head teachers should ban it.
The people who work at the local supermarket all work hard, serving and going into cold places to wheel out refrigerated products, filling shelves et cetera. Buy them all a present for a change.
The teachers in my family weren't the highest paid people in society but they were fine. They afforded houses and holidays and hand cream.

I have had presents from children at school, but the thing I liked best was a home-made card they’d all signed with little messages.

I have friends who are teachers and they have told me cards that the kids have made are the best. One friend keeps all home made cards she is given at the end of term.

But kids and families develop relationships with teachers in a way they don’t with other workers. I give Christmas presents to my cleaner, but not my local shopkeepers for the same reason. (And if teachers worked to rule, and did just what they were actually paid for, you would notice a difference!)

Cakes have been made by a local professional :-)
