Demonstrate your gratitude with a teacher's gift showing a little thought
(26/08/2009)

You may want to show your appreciation to your kids’ teachers (or the opportunity to try and appease them for having to cope with your little terror for an entire year). They may deserve a gold medal, but inevitably end up with endless chocolates and flowers. So why not demonstrate your gratitude with a teacher’s gift showing a little more thought.

After a manic day in the classroom, returning home to a calm house scented with the elegant Bouquet Aromatique (£20.95) will take the edge off the stress. Or a pampering evening using the Abahna Mini Bag Set (£15.00) containing bath foam, lotion and soap will make the classroom feel a million miles away. Alternatively, if simply creating a calming mood is more likely to appeal to them, the Etched Glass Tea Light Holder (£4.95) or the Galerie Candle Holder by MENU (£14.95), which you can personalise with flowers or mini art-work, make great gifts.

If you something more practical suits, how about the Card Curve Clutter Curer (£6.95) for those prone to messy desks. Or the Enormous Jolly Cath Kidston Mugs (£4.95) in which they can enjoy their morning tea or coffee. Alternatively, a Smart Cookie biscuit jar (£16.77) filled with biscuits should be a winner.

Put a smile on their face with the fun Pencil Sharpener Desk Tidy (£14.95) that looks like you have been nicking things from the pencil case of a passing giant. Or the Doodlebook Frame (£15.95) – a frame surrounded by a sketchbook – will also make a great addition to their desk.
