Its that time of year again - the last week of term starts tomorrow. I don't really agree with buying teachers presents at the end of the year - isn't that what they get paid for??? We never used to do it when we were at school.
Last year I made them something for the first time - little metal buckets decorated and filled with sweeties. This year it was done on a shoestring budget. The wooden notepad holders were out of WHSmiths and reduced to 49 pence each and the notebooks ate the 10 pence value ones from Asda!! The only other things I used was one 1/2 inch Bind It All wire, a sheet of pink Bazzill and some scraps of Making Memories Noteworthy papers and flowers from an old GoGo kit and a bit of pink ribbon. Used Paper Salon sentiment stamp and a tree and bird stamp by Pink Paislee.
Hope they like them.

That is such a lovely present. I am sure the teachers would prefer something like that anyhow which is useful. I work in a school and would rather handmade card and stuff like you have made 150% more than what is bought for us. Not to seem ungrateful but the thought is there with gifts like you have made!!! They'll love it! Like you said I am sure we didn't buy stuff for teachers like it is now.
Gorgeous, I wish I worked in your children's class!
What fab presents. I think us school secretaries would love those too! lol Deb x
Lucky teachers! I'm with Charlol - a homemade gift is very special. Love wooden note blocks.
These are gorgeous. The teachers are going to love them. I'm sure handmade cards and gifts make a really nice change.
Jo - I agree with the sentiment as to whether we should be buying presents every year, but these are a fab idea!!!
