Easter Presents?

[Backinthetallgrass]

Aibu? I dropped my 5 year old off at school and there was loads of kids with gift bags, flowers and presents for the teachers today. Is that actually a thing people do these days? My older child is 9 years older and we never gave or saw Easter gifts being handed out.

I give the teacher a Christmas gift (grudgingly) and I do the end of school year 'thank you' gift (very happy to do this one). But now when I dropped my child off they were all dissapointed because they hadn't got the teacher an Easter gift :(

When I was teaching I got a handful of chocolate eggs at Easter- nowhere near as many as presents as at Christmas or end of the year. As ever, gifts are never expected but always appreciated. The best things are special messages written in cards at the end of the school year.

We bought eggs for dd's keyworker at preschool, and little bunnies for my older kids' teachers, on their request. Don't feel you have to, because obviously you don't! My kids wanted to and luckily I could facilitate it.

I've never had an Easter a gift, only end of year and Christmas. I'd be a bit embarrassed, I think!

I always take in something small for the children though. A creme egg or kinder egg each.
