I used a die cut snowflake and a card candy dot to jazz up the pot a bit, wrapped in cello and added a homemade tag, well under 50 quid (more like a tenner for all 10) and the teachers seemed to like them ;-)

Fab idea and very practical. I think it is madness to spend so much on teachers! After all they are being paid to do their job so just a little gift to show you've thought of them is ample enough I'd say. They will be able to enjoy your gift for longer than some of the other silly things they get given that cost more!
ReplyDeletebrilliant idea. £50!!!! gulps

This is such a fabulous idea, made with care and thought, also something to look forward to in the spring. Its absolutely ridiculous spending £50 on a teacher, its just silly parents all wanting to out do each other and nothing to do with the child giving a gift. Well done you for not being the "average" parent xxx
ReplyDeleteGreat idea Sarah. £50! that is a lot my MIL is a teacher and at her school no parent spends anywhere near that. A gift like yours is so much nicer and thoughtful than mass produced things.

LOL I must be soooo far removed from the average parent it's untrue! £50 on pressies - I think not. However, I know a few of my friends spend £10 per teacher (and that includes TA's)so I'm not surprised that that is the average amount.
ReplyDeleteI love your idea and I'm sure that the teachers appreciate this - I know I would. x
Oh my! I would never spend that much!!! that is a joke!
ReplyDeleteI love what you have made, and I bet they will be appreciated! xx
I don't know where they're getting their information from but this does not reflect any school I've ever taught in! I don't expect anything- but it is lovely when parents choose to give us a little something!
ReplyDeleteI love these and would have been more than happy to receive one from a child in my class!
Hugs, Alison x
fab idea , no way do I spend that much , did plan on making something this year but time wouldtnt allow so they get two boxes biscuits for the staff room, next year will be a crafty gift and love your idea of the wee pot ............K x
ReplyDeleteWhat a ridiculous amount to spend on a Teacher present I think yours is going to give a lot pleasure when it starts to bloom. http://nannieflash.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteGreat gift. I had a teacher tell me the other day how much she appreciates the handmade gifts rather than the ones bought at the store that people pay so much money for. I made a box full of goodies for my granddaughters teacher this year. I am hoping she likes it. Too bad I couldn't find the those pots as that is what I would have done. I always involve my granddaughter in my project for her teacher. BTW I wouldn't spend 50. for a gift even if I had it to spend. LOL
ReplyDeleteWhat a brilliant idea they are fab
ReplyDeleteHugs Jackie x
Sarah this is gorgeous hun, a lovely idea.
ReplyDeleteYou meanie, £50 is nothing when you think of all the hours they babysit for lol. Only joking hun it's flipping madness spending that much on a teachers pressie, wonder if the bribery pays off, hush my mouth bad girl for suggesting that's what these generous "gifts" are lol
hugs Mandy xx
Brilliant idea, and one to last for months ahead.
