Folksy Friday, Gifts for Teachers!


Teacher's Gifts!

As we approach the end of exams and the end of another school year, it will soon be time to search out a perfect gift for your child's teacher.

This was a new idea to me until I had children of my own. When I was growing up, you might have made your teacher a card, or drawn them a picture, but today seems to be a whole different ball game and I must admit to being astounded as to what sorts of gifts other parents were giving to the teachers, some of them incredibly expensive, something I was unable to do.

Luckily, for my children I was in a position to make something for my children to give their teachers, which was great, and I even receive requests from some staff as to what gift they might like, a bit cheeky, but at least I knew they appreciated what I made for them.

Now I know I can not be the only one that finds it hard to find the funds to buy expensive items for a teacher, especially if you have more than one teacher to provide for, so I have looked around some of my folksy friends shops, to find unique and wonderful items, that won't break the bank balance and yet will look like you have put a massive amount of thought into finding that perfect gift.


ItalicTeacher Gift Gallery.

As I wanted to give you a wide selection to peruse, I have popped smaller pictures in my blog than normal, but if you would like to see a larger image, please click on the picture for the full impact and all the details of the lovely items.


All of the items chosen fall well below the £10.00 price range, I think the most expensive being £8.50 and the least expensive being £2.50.



















I hope you have enjoyed my gift guide, there were so many more I would have liked to include, but please take a browse in Folksy itself and I am sure you'll find something suitable for every teacher and personality.


Thank you!
