<\/p>\nWe are rapidly approaching the end of term and, for most children in primary schools, these will be the last weeks with their current teacher. Your child\u2019s teacher will have had a significant influence on your child over the last year, and you have hopefully noticed progress in their reading, writing, and numeracy skills, amongst others. Whilst a gift is not necessary, many parents opt to get something for the teacher as a token of their appreciation for the teacher\u2019s hard work over the last year. If you are stuck for ideas on what to get, then read on.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Before we look at possible gift ideas, lets cover some of the “don\u2019ts” of gift giving for teachers:<\/p>\n
So, now we have covered the gift don\u2019ts, let\u2019s look at some possible ideas for gifts for your child\u2019s teacher. All of the ideas listed below cost less than \u00a320.<\/p>\n

Many teachers would tell you that rather than half a dozen bottles of wine or boxes of chocolates, the gifts they remember the most are those where the child has made an effort to draw or write something. A simple card made by your child is therefore likely to be a big hit. Depending on your child\u2019s abilities, your child could write in it a thank you note with a list of things the teacher has helped them with over the last year, or a sentence about what they liked best in the classroom.<\/p>\n
Buy Blank Cards & Envelopes<\/a><\/p>\n If you know your child\u2019s teacher drinks, then wine or beer or another alcoholic drink is sure to be a big hit. However, it is probably worth asking one of the other staff members for ideas, since there is no point buying a bottle of white wine for someone who only drinks red. If you are on a limited budget, then a bottle from your local supermarket will suffice.<\/p>\n Buy Wine & Beer Hampers<\/a><\/p>\n We all know that schools are struggling with budget cuts, and it\u2019s very likely that your teacher has had to supplement their class stationery cupboard with items purchased using their own money. A stationery set or hamper for the classroom will probably be a big hit. Your child could decorate an old shoebox which can then be filled with pens, post-it notes, and glue sticks.<\/p>\n Continuing with the idea of personalised stationery, consider purchasing a personalised stamp for your child\u2019s teacher. You can choose what text the stamp produces. For example, you could order one that says “Mrs XXX Says Good Work!” or something similar.<\/p>\n Buy Personalised Stationery<\/a><\/p>\n Giving your child\u2019s teacher a book gift card is a great way of treating your teacher whilst giving them the chance to choose something they would like or use. Book gift cards are particularly good for teachers because they can either spend them on a holiday read, or use them to buy books for the classroom. If you want to choose some books yourself to give, it\u2019s best to choose books for the classroom rather than the teacher, since you won\u2019t necessarily know what genres the teacher likes to read. If your child regularly comes home with tatty phonics books, then consider getting the class a new set.<\/p>\nWine or Beer<\/h2>\n
