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.
