presents for the teachers!

OK the time has come to think about the teachers and daycare teachers gifts for Xmas this year....
Usually i get the daycare teachers a cruiser and chocs in a green or red, chrissy colours of course, but this year i am not sure what to do. i am really happy with the teachers and the help they have givent he kids this year so i am an after somethign with a little thought, but easy on the purse strings. i am sure we could all use some ideas for our teachers, so throw them this way...

No ideas from me, I haven't quite got to the stage of teachers yet. But I love the idea of giving them a cruiser, they probably well and truely need it by the end of the year hahaha.

We did get DDs ballet teacher a foot pamper pack from coles last year, I think they were about $10.

We buy the teachers a bottle of wine and send a nice big cake to school or kinda for just the staff.

oh thats a good idea, the wine, i mean anybody who has to look after kids all day, surely must need a drink..lol! hhmm, i like the foot pack as well.. do you get a red or white wine?? My DH only drinks red, i guess that would do.

Normally white and whatever is a good price.
I don't drink it so have no idea lol.

'Asti Riccadonna' is beautiful, especially for Christmas, although you might want to look out for it on special, its usually about $16. There is a cheaper alternative that tastes simular 'Omni Blue'.

Failing that, if you need a cheaper option to cover a few tachers, I think 'Passion pop' ussually goes down alright and there are those smaller bottles of bubbly that you can buy in 3-packs.

ahhh passion pop!! brings back memories...lol... I love riccadonna too, I always get that for a gift when i have a baby and i love it, why did i not think of that, for my "favourite" teachers... thanks girls. I am sure you are helping more than me here...

For this week only TARGET has specials on smelly stuffs. =)

50% off soaps in the shapes of farm animals, ice creams (they look real), cupcakes, doughnuts etc. I bought a pack of the ice creams (4 in a pack) for $7.50 reduced from $15. I plan on splitting the 4 and wrapping each one with cellophane and tying with cellophane with a handmade gift tag.

If you have a super fav teacher they had gift packs for $15 reduced from $30. Picnic baskets with cupcakes, farm animals sets etc. Really really cute items and such a great price. You could also split the gift pack up and individually wrap each items depending how many you have to give for.

Any good??
