Presents for teachers?
15 Answers
Anyone got any ideas as to what I can get for my daughter's teacher and teaching assistant (both female) for Christmas. I'm sure they must get bucket loads of flowers, chocolates, mugs and pens and it would be nice to get something a little different for them.
Thanks for your help.

I'd much prefer you to tell me how pleased you are with the teaching your child has or the other reasons you think I need a present. I only give at the end of the year to my sons teachers. I always ask and although (as a non-drinking teacher) I wouldnt want wine thats what they've always said. I do give non-alcoholic too and send for the other adults who support him - its not just the class teacher who does the important work with your child, remember the lunch time supervisors too.
I agree with Lucy, but it seems to be tradition now, and also it is nice to show teachers that they are appreciated (if they are) I do also buy the teaching assistants. But I always buy 2 tins of sweets or biscuits (I admit usually on offer in September) 1 for the dinner ladies (in the kitchen) and 1 for the dinner nannies (lunchtime supervisors). Not many remember the hard 3 hour graft of the kitchen staff, my mam done it many years ago, and my kids have always taken something in for the kitchen staff, who are always very appreciative. Not that its the reason I do it, but my kids get good treatment from the ladies giving the food out! Some keep a portion of their favourite if its running out and they are late in the queue, and I don't know them from adam.
