Finding something meaningful to give the teachers and carers who look after our kids each day requires a little out-of-the-box thinking. Of course, gift cards, chocolates and scented hand creams are always lovely, but I’m a big fan of mixing and matching more personal gifts to create something a little more special. Here are a few ideas I’ve put together in the past:
A bottle of alcohol or small-batch cordial wrapped in a beautiful tea towel.
An olive dish or small ceramic bowl with a can of Perelló olives.
A makeup bag with a lovely lip balm or body wash inside.
A really great bottle of olive oil or sea salt flakes in a lovely cannister.
A seasonal Christmas candle or any of the Christmas beauty packs available from Sephora or Mecca.
A personalised coffee cup or water bottle — you can usually get them engraved at this time of year.
Let’s give the gift of appreciation (and something lovely to open) for the awesome teachers in our lives.
