Teacher gifts.

I ordered biscuits from Beck. Ashton's teacher got them last year too, but I can't help if he got the same teacher this year LOL. She loved them last year and said they were to nice to eat. We are not giving Lachlan's teacher anything. Both Lachlan and myself don't like him. So Lach doesn't want to. Therefore the spare box of biscuits will go to Ashton's part time teacher.

I'm with Astrolady. Beck is making DD's teachers cookie biscuit thank yous. I'm so excited and can't wait to see them

My mum's a teacher and brings home boxes upon boxes of chocolates and biscuits from the kids, so I tend to stay away from those. I am having a mug painted by a WAHM on FB with DD's teacher's name on it, I'll fill it with chocolates. I also want to give her something else because she's been DD's teacher for the last 4 years, next year she will have a different teacher but can't think of anything yet.

Last year I got DD"s teacher a funky dog garden ornament made of wire, the year before I got her a man made of terracotta pots and the year before that I gave her a plant in a hand painted pot with 'teacher' written on it.

Last year I was given a nice note pad and pen and that was nice. That could be an idea for you?

we are going to give recipes in a jar ie you find your favourite biscuit/slice recipe and put all the dry ingredients layered in a jar with a note on it with how much wet ingredients to add and how long to cook for. Perfect if they get too many chocolates because they can cook it themselves any time

This is what my sister got for one year and she loved it. I think it was for cookies and it was layered in a nice glass jar, looked awesome. She also got some lovely platters, some hand painted by the patents.

i have no clue, dd's teacher wears purple shoes mostly, so i guess she likes purple, that's the only clue i have picked up, all year (about what she likes). Somehow, asking the teacher personal questions, feels like a no-no to me, so i haven't quizzed her (even casually), to find out what she likes. Such a big class, i worry about taking up her time.

I've started giving really nice Christmas Decorations. Having said that, DD's teacher LOVES leopard print and when shopping yesterday DD saw a pair of Leopard Print boots and asked if we could get them for her teacher...

Wow - never thought about it for CC ... makes sense, though. Would be tricky for us, as there's 4 main carers in DS1's room, but another 4-6 who regularly help out, plus the manager ...

I like the idea of a nice big cake for the staff room, though. I might do that
