amazon tokens are always acceptable.

Yes. As long as it's not too posh. It's the intention that counts, so a symbolic gift would do:smile:
We let them have a week at the villa in Barbados.

Tamagotchi - universally accepted as the best gift ever.

Mugs! They get through enough of them. Planning to get my disorganised teacher one saying "Keep Calm And Pretend It's On The Lesson Plan"

Think you can personalise some too :smile:

Depends on the subject. I.e. if it was an English lit teacher, get them a book by one of their favourite authors or get them just a book you would recommend or think that they would like :smile:

If it was like a science teacher, maybe a personalised goggles?

As you can guess, I am not the best at getting gifts lmao!

I'm getting my English Lit teacher (who also teaches me for english lang) a costa coffee cause one day i walked into her lesson and she said she wanted one... she also reminded at the end of the lesson she wanted one. She wants a iced coffee vanilla latte! So im gonna get her one when we return for y13 in June, when the weather's nice.

At least in the science department of my college, getting teachers presents certainly wasn't normal. Didn't stop me from getting a box of chocs (yes, very original) for my biology teacher, though!
