If there's a thread on teacher gifts please point me that way!

DC's school have had a bit of restructuring and so now has 5 (yes 5) teachers. All input equally (2 are TA's but full time).

We also use after school hub most weeks, there are another 3 staff, again they seem to share the role equally.

That's 8 ladies to buy for, £40 if I can limit it to £5 each.

Their card will have a little message from dc but dc desperate to give a gift like all the other kids are...

Any ideas welcome 🤗

A chocolate orange each or a box of hot chocolate sachets. Honestly no teacher cares - we all love a present but don’t expect it.
Honestly £40 is too much.

I would get DC to make a card
If you feel you must give something then a tin of shortbread for the staff room

When my kids were in Primary, I had often accumulated "free" bottles of wine from supermarket meal deal offers - so sometimes the "free" wine went for a teacher's present.

Alternatively, we've given children's craft items sometimes.

My DC one year had a kit to make little cardboard baubles and gave these to their friends as Xmas cards, and also to the teacher and TA

Also, fairly inexpensive cinnamon secented candles from a set in a Xmas cellophane bag, tied with ribbon - cost was £1.50- £2 but looked Xmassy and was something you could use.

One really nice and helpful form tutor got given chocolate flakes to make fancy hot chocolate, cost about £4. That seemed to be very appreciated.

I have a SEN child and staff have at times been very kind, so I really did want to say thank you.
