Hi
Any suggestion for a good present for Year 3 teacher. Think collection will be about £100-£120.
Got her theatre vouchers at Christmas.
Are those virgin experience vouchers any good? Or do they end up being a pain with nothing that suits a whole family. (She has 2 small children herself)
Any other voucher ideas? But not a spa.
Any teachers out there as to what sort of thing you really appreciate at end of term?

Afternoon tea voucher for somewhere nice?

Is there anywhere local that would be good for her and the children to go during the holidays? A local science centre or castle or ice skating something?

I'm a teacher and one of my children asked what my favourite thing was. I replied "my son" to which she pointed out that he'd be hard to wrap and it needed to be something to give as a present so I told her to choose me a book and pointed out that second hand books are just as good. I know that doesn't help you but might help others who are buying an individual present.

Of course people shouldn't feel they have to give a gift -we only gave gifts to the teachers when we left school. A handwritten note or picture is a much better keep sake than any "Thank you Teacher" stuff -some of my children are wonderful artists and I have already amassed some great drawings.

Cinema voucher?

Personally I'd go with Amazon vouchers as the teacher can use to treat herself, the children or buy the extras teachers buy for their classes.

Do you know if I had that much money I would provide something to make her job easier, a box pf prit sticks, felt pens and stationary that she can use in the classroom to make her job easier next year. I hear stories of teachers simply using their wages to buy resources.
