Teacher gift - Cash?

[Schoolhelp23]

Want to give my Y6 daughter's teacher a nice gift as she's been amazing, she's taught her for 3 separate years too. Is cash in a card inappropriate?

Cash and gifts from parents have to be declared

No, definitely not. Your daughter should make and write her a card.

I don’t agree with gifts generally, but maybe a voucher for a local coffee shop

I don’t know why but cash seems to be a problem but vouchers seem to be ok?it seems a bit weird to give cash to a teacher as a parting gift though I’m sure they’d much prefer that!

Have a look at the schools gifts and hospitality policy and go from there
I'd do a voucher to John Lewis over cash

No cash gifts.

No it's weird.

For my DS when he left in year 11 I did a book voucher fir one teacher and a voucher to a restaurant that I knew the other teacher loved (I checked with school office first re policy) - both had gone above and beyond for my son in his secondary school

A whip round for a John Lewis voucher would be better than cash. We used to do this at primary school, far better than 30 bottles of wine/boxes of chocolates.

Then a personal card from your child.

Not appropriate I'd say!

No cash , I don’t think she would be allowed to accept it.

A nice card will do

No cash. A card is fine.

M&S voucher to spend on themselves on home stuff, clothes, drinks, food shop or motorway service station snacks on their way off to holiday.

No definately no to cash! We do an Amazon gift card or one of those gift cards that you can spend in loads of shops, both in store and online is even better. Stick it in a handwritten card- job done.

No cash.
A card is fine.
