THE school holidays are almost here and unless you're organised in advance, that means scrambling to buy a last-minute gift for your child's teacher. But if you're a parent who has left it right until the day before the teachers hang up their flashcards for summer, there's still time to rustle something up. 8 I managed to make these gift bags for my children's teachers for less than a fiver each Credit: supplied 8 I found some adorable buys on a budget including this little plant from Home Bargains for 99p Credit: supplied 8 This glasses case, again from Home Bargains, is a great choice if you're buying for a glasses-wearer Credit: supplied Like me, the majority of parents want to show their appreciation to the teachers and assistants who look after their kids five days a week.
I take my hat off to the anyone who can get my two kids, aged ten and six, switched on to learning because they're a handful at home. But which teacher really wants another bottle of wine or scented bubble bath? With a full summer of keeping the kids entertained ahead, I wanted to keep costs down so I snapped up budget buys from Home Bargains, Tesco, and Temu. I turned them into cute gift sets for their two teachers, and two teaching assistants, costing under £5 each.
Home Bargains When it comes to high street stores, Home Bargains has one of the best selections of teachers gifts I've seen this year. And while there's a fine line between "tatt" and "treasure", there were some really cute options on of.
