presents for school teachers

Me mammy said one of the best & funniest 'gifts' she got was a card with a Tea bag and a kit-kat in iside it with the words - "you got me through now have a break - you earned it!"

She's a secondary school teacher for nearly 30 years

Small and I came back with a spinning picture frame and a stress ball!

I expect that will work.

Small wanted to get Sir a 'sympathy' card, cos hes a Leeds supporter, but I managed to talk him into a thanyou teacher one....

*phew*

If we'd been more organised we usually make stuff. My sister (a nursery teacher) says that they're the presents she likes best!

Mini Chrstmas cakes are usually a winner (made in a clean small baked-bean can or similar), and 'decorated' by the youngster. I did them with my mum, and I seem to remember that one year I decorated them with mazipan dinosaurs....

Its just a cute idea for small cakes. Something different for birthdays.

If you want to make cute little cakes, another option that I was given once was a little fruit cake made in a little terracotta pot (new not used!).
It would also have the added advantage as a teachers present in that you could paint it to decorate it.

They make quite nice pressies for people who live on their own - my Nan always used to get one!
