I am now in year 3 of buying teacher presents.
The first year I got to know DD’s teacher really well. She was a really trendy mid 40’s lady, and had her own house. I bought her a money box in Hallmark (the one’s made from delph) It was a high heel shoe with a leopard skin pattern. It had ‘Money for Shoes’ on it. She absolutely loved it.
Last year DD had an older lady, not married and didn’t get to know her at all. She wasn’t married and lived on her own. I got her a bird nesting box for her garden. She loved it too.
Neither were over €20
Haven’t a clue about this year. I have 2 to buy for. One is in her 20’s, trendy, not married and renting. The other is a very young, very trendy granny. Might go for the money box again for them.
