What do a bag of potatoes, a stolen necklace and a box of half-eaten chocolates have in common?
Believe it or not, they’ve all been given as end-of-term gifts to teachers. A list of the best and worst presents ever received by teaching staff, published by the parenting website Mumsnet, has revealed some truly bizarre items. Among the traditional scented candles and boxes of chocolates lurked a disconnected car radio, a pair of pants and a bottle of wine that had already been half swilled.
At Jessops, we know how difficult it can be to think of the right gift for your child’s teacher. We also know how important it is for parents to feel they’ve given a thoughtful and wanted gift – which is why we’re here to help.
Of course, the one thing teachers say they most love to receive is something personal, whether it’s a note, a card or a handmade gift. Our top ten list of personalised (and inexpensive!) gifts for teachers will inspire your imagination and ease that end-of-term stress…
You can always spot a teacher in a crowd – they’re the ones piled up with exercise books, folders, paperwork, and everything but the kitchen sink. So why not ease the burden by giving your child’s teacher their own personalised linen bag to cart their stuff around in? You could have it printed with a drawing by your child or a class photo to make it a real one-off. This is the ultimate practical gift too – these days, it’s all about reusable bags.

By giving them something useful, you’ll be helping to make their lives just that little bit easier… and you might even bring a smile to their face when they reach for the red pen to do all that marking.
