As term draws to a close
My mind has wandered to gift buying
Secret Santa
Gifts for colleagues
Presents for the team who teach my own children
My children will probably make the gifts for their teachers and TA
We will definitely be making cards
But it is always nice to search for ideas for special someones
My favourite gifts as a teacher
Have always been made by children I have taught
Or been specially chosen by their families
(And the digital camera I bought with vouchers given to me by the parents of one class!!)
The last time I had a class of my own was before the days of Etsy and Not On The High Street
These online market places now make it much easier
To find special, quirky things
For special people
Here are ten things I found that I am certain
Would make a teacher or TA smile
These very pretty and super useful magnetic pegs
Every teacher ‘otter’ have one of these! We always need to be jotting things down. And I can never remember or find where I jotted them!
A mason jar tumbler for all those new year, new regime health drinks and smoothies
A scarf is not just for Christmas but also for all those January playground duties!
A tasty chocolate treat that you would not find everyday
Tell a teacher they are ‘the bees knees’ this Christmas
A big bag for books! Simple and yet genius!
For teachers who like stars and for those who like flowers, sometimes a tiny token says so much more than words
These are ten tips for teacher gifts this Christmas
What is the best teacher gift you have given, made or received?
A beautiful mug with a tea bag inside, a delicious chocolate biscuit tied to handle with just add water when you need a break on the tag.
A tiny oak tree sapling that’s now the height of my house….often wonder where that wee boy is now!
