    Teacher gifts.

    Another Beck's biscuit fan here - I am getting them all the jars of mini apple biscuits and can't wait.

    Last year I bought some really nice infused cooking oils in neat tall bottles, they were a hit too and they normally let me know when they've cooked with them this year.

    Also, what sort of money do you spend? I have four to buy for and no clue

    I'm doing travel coffee mugs with some nice coffee in them (sachets) and the cups with straws (you know the ones you have smoothies in???) with some little recipe cards for yumy smoothies.

    Google Becca's Biscuits. She's well known to a lot of BellyBelly people

    My budget is $20 per present tops. Each boy has 2 teachers so if I end up paying $20 each it's $80 all up.

    Becca's biscuits. She has FB page. I don't do foods because you can never be sure they will like them and this year especially with one gym bunny and one very slender teacher I suspect they wouldn't be eaten.

    Thanks for all the great idea. Every year I have to start a new thread because I suck at thinking of presents. I really should just bookmark it and bump it lol.

    Speaking from a teacher's point of view, any gift is a lovely thought but personally I would stay away for the chocolate/ biscuits ideas. You have no idea how many teachers get. I end up giving a lot away.

    I always love Christmas decorations as you can never have enough and I can. Always remember the child that has given it to me. I have a classroom tree I put up and I put the decks on there.

    Movie vouchers or gloria jeans vouchers are a great idea. I have had parents get together to get one nice gift.

    A nice vase for the teacher to put flowers in. I sometimes get flowers from kids, even if it's from there own garden and I always think, it would be nice to have a vase in my classroom instead of sticking them in a mug! Lol!

    Manicure or pedicure voucher. I got one from a student last year and it was my favorite gift!

    Bamboo plants (you know those mini ones).

    I Will keep thinking...

    I like to think that the opportunity to teach my child all year is present enough

    But just in case it isn't, I usually go for quality jams, coffees, tea or hot chocolate. I also bake mince tarts and/or shortbread so they get them. Last year DD and I made some reindeer biccies. Ill see if I can find a pic.

    I bet the teachers would love those after a long year of teaching.

    No. We made them for Santa.

    I agree with others as far as food, chocolates etc goes although having said that I only ever seem to get crappy chocolates (mmmm might be saying something about my teaching skills ) I have appreciated bottles of wine in the past but not all schools/teachers/parents approve! Desk or wall calendars are good too!
