    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.

    Ok, skim reading these and totally read this as "made reefer biccies"

    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!
