Teachers! AIBU to ask

[Deshasafraisy]

What has been the best end of term gift you have ever received?
What would you like to receive?
Thanks.

The last few years I've been sewing bags, pencil cases and pen holders/bookmarks for notebooks for teachers and TA's. They've gone down really well and last year my youngest DC teacher said she was glad he was in her class as she knew she would be getting a set too

Speaking of handmade presents, I’ve had a gorgeous handmade scarf from one mum, and a tiny cushion made by a child which I now use as a pincushion in my sewing kit- handcrafted presents like this do feel really special, and remind me of the child who gave it.

I like wine

I've had some amazing gifts. Lovely handmade items, stuff from pound shops but chosen by the child themselves, books on forest school and outdoor education (several parents clubbed together); and when I was leaving I got a guidebook to the country I was moving to. I keep everything. I am touched by every gift.

I’m not fussed if I don’t get any.
I’ve had some extremely expensive gifts. My favourite gifts are those the kids make.

I don’t like wine, vodka and tequila are my drinks lol.

A big box of glue sticks, pencils, coloured pencils, glue sticks, and the like is always a bonus. It saves me from using my money to buy these things for the kids.
