'I'm a teacher - these are the Christmas gifts we hate getting from parents'
Think you can't go wrong with a mug? Consider how many others have had the same idea..."It just reminds teachers that everyone still believes we are all coffee guzzling, brown teeth and bad breath baddies who spend more time in the staff room topping up our mugs than planning, marking, teaching and actually looking after the children."It's often tempting to pick up a bath gift set, but with everyone having such different taste, it can be hard to get it right.
Joanne says: "Buying toiletries is a bit like buying knickers for the teacher - how do you know what they need, want or like?"And anything ‘fruity’ is almost certain to result in an itchy rash that will only make us more irritable in the classroom.It can be incredibly hard to choose a bath set if you don't know the person's personal preferenceIt sounds obvious, but if the gift in question has fallen off the back of a lorry it's unlikely to go down well.
"When city types refuse a drink at the end of the day joking ‘it’s a School night’ for us it really is so booze is always off the menu."At least it will get used and judging by the amount of parents clutching theirs in the school run, it’s the one drink most parents are connoisseurs of."Everyone loves chocolate, but as the saying goes, "everything is best enjoyed in moderation"."And it’s the one gift that will probably never make it out of the school.
