To not buy the teachers Christmas gifts?

[Applescruffle]

AIBU to not buy the teachers Cheistmas gifts?
I mean, I know it's not unreasonable but is it the norm to buy them?

I appreciate the teachers very much and they are all absolutely lovely and I could afford to do it but the reality is... I just cba.
I have a million other people to buy for and I can't even think what to buy for half of them never mind another four people (two kids with a teacher and TA each).

Do the teachers even want 30 Christmas gifts from kids?

Is "I can't be bothered with it" a valid reason to not do it?

I must add I do make an effort at the end of the year. I handmake them beautiful gifts and get the kids to write cards and I always include the TA too and often some baked goods for the staffroom.

Ooh actually I could bake them some mince pies for the staffroom!

Anyway... AIBU and do you do it?

We'd love that at my school!

If you can afford buy the teacher a gift voucher from a nice shop for £20-£30 so they can get themselves something nice they need or like.

If that's too much then £5-£10 coffee voucher sounds great.

Otherwise group collection of £5 per child is lovely idea.

This is what I would like to get if I was a teacher.

Of course if a parent can't afford or has too many kids with teachers then I would probably get a nice card and a luxury chocolate which in total won't cost more than £4 if less.

I don't see the charm in cheap mugs, candles or anything that will probably go in bin.
