Homemade christmas presents for teachers??

[Sigma]

Is this a horrible idea?? I am thinking of either buying a plain canvas bag or some plain Christmas baubles and getting DD to decorate. I might even put some home made biscuits in the bag. Will teachers this this is cheap and naff? Any other ideas for home made gifts?

I would love it. I love homemade gifts. I like the idea of the child being involved in it.

I usually make something, and DCs usually get a nice "thank you" card from the teachers.
Chocolate truffles, crystallised fruit, naice coffee in a decorated jar, biscuits in a drawstring bag, we'll turn our hands to making a range of things.

We made snowman pics for teacher and TA last year - they seemed genuinely pleased! I think they get lots of stuff so I would say give things that can be used up, are small or can be chucked away after Christmas!

I'm a teacher. Homemade presents are always my favourite. Shows thought and care and input from children. I also like wine though.

I saw a knitted coffee cup surround with thank you Mrs Smith on it on Pinterest. Thought that was a good idea

I can't knit, that's Pinterest for you.

Yes I would love home made presents, they are my favourite, followed by stationary, chocolates and wine

I'm not a teacher but have family who teach.
Fav presents:
Nice tea, herbal too and coffee for the staff room
Biscuits, the nicer the better. Homemade biccies trumps everything else.
Homemade jam or honey
A thermos mug
Booze but neither drink wine so getting stuff they like is rare. They got non-alco cordial that's served hot which they adored. Late chilly staff meetings improved immeasurably I gather.
A homemade card or picture from the child

That's about it. Stuff, they just give to charity and if it's homemade they then feel guilty about binning it but with 20-30 kids every year it's an awful lot of stuff/tat to keep.

Nice homemade card and biccies would go down a storm I think.

Have a look on pinterest, we're making reindeer plant pots this year, which is a small brown plastic plant pot, stick on eyes and a red nose, for the antlers just cut out a hand print on brown card and fill with chocolates, stuff the antlers into the chocolates and wrap in some Christmassy Clear plastic, shouldn't cost too much to make

im making a charm bracelet for DS's teacher with him

Love the ideas, thanks! I think I may do handmade stuff from DC for both grannies too.
