So, what did we get?

After all the threads about vast class collections of vouchers, offers of holidays in 2nd homes, jewellery and the merits of homebaking versus alcohol... what did the teachers of Mumsnet actually gratefully receive?

My lovely class gave me:
1 set of smellies
1 scent diffuser
1 box of chocs
1 diary
1 personalised notebook
1 bag of homemade cookies with a tree decoration
3 tins of biscuits

I gave my TAs .

TA here and part time at that.

I have had some lovely gifts including fudge, chocolates, smellies and a delicious loaf of homemade sweet bread.

As a parent I made a variety of cookies and filled big jars with them for DS3's teacher and TA.

I remember when I was in sixth form I helped in lower school classes in some of my frees and got gifts from the teachers and cards from some of the students. Although they were just chocolates I never expected any as a student and was t

Touched* and the cards from the students (who were all lower ability) were heart warming. They were all handfuls but their cards all said thank you etc.,

I got the teachers cards and a box of chocs and got all of the students a card each and let them have a chocolate from a tin of Quality Street.

Those years really helped me determine that I wanted to work with young people.

I'm a part time TA in nursery class, I was given a few boxes of chocolates and was very touched to receive them. I love my job
