It's the primary teachers that really rake it in. Down south they get some ridiculously expensive gifts I can confirm this. When my weans were in Primary my most recent wife always liked to play Lady Muck and give OTT gifts to their teachers at Xmas including, one year, bottles of Belle Epoque champagne (the ones with the painted bottle) that I'd been given as a gift from a supplier. -worth about £120 apiece. The yummy mummies did like to try and outdo each other. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s no way a bottle of booze lasted longer than a few hours in your house. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moonster Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Do parents give nursery workers/high school teachers presents too, or just specifically the teachers from ages 5 through 11? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes to nursery. Not me, though. Both my children have about 7 different teachers in their nursery room. I recommend them to friends who are looking for a nursery. That's the best present they could ask for! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bernardblack Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Usually my aunties, uncles and cousins etc meet before Christmas to swap presents (NAP it’ll be multiple shower gels) but obviously that can’t happen this year. Mrs BB asks what’s happening this year and I politely ask if she would like to try and organise the various drop offs etc “No it’s your side of the family, you’d be best doing that” Fair enough, I text the various relatives and tell Mrs BB what they have said, to be met with a smorgasbord of: “Oh your cousin is always like this”“What does she mean by that?”“Does she not realise I’m working that day?” Give me strength please P&B 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raithie Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 My wife works in a nursery at a local primary school and even pre getting her qualification she would buy gifts for our sons teacher(s) at Christmas and last day before summer holidays. Naturally she's coming home with various gifts from parents or her own key children now as well so this trend will no doubt continue. Our son is 8 and today he is away with a box of chocolates for his P4 teacher along with christmas cards for his teacher and friends. It seems his school haven't banned any handing over of gifts/cards. His teachers in the past have always given out gifs to the kids as well to take home however no idea if that's happening this year. Me personally, I just stay out of it. If the wife wants to do it fair enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I find this utterly bizarre but each to their own I suppose.We always got the teacher a present on the last day of term at school (primary that is. I'd have got leathered doing that at high school). We probably wouldn't have bothered with Xmas other than a card but it's been a shit year and they are really good with our wee one so a box of chocolates isn't anything special. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She (rightly) told you to sort it out and you drew her back in to the affray. Schoolboy error. Mind you, given how thrawn they can be, you'd also have got the old, "You never share with me* shite if you'd said nothing. Some days are just lose-lose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
