Teacher here! Even though we have a million coffee mugs, we secretly love them and are proud of our mug collection.

@meaganodell4479 2 года назад

That’s what my sons teachers said. One even kept thanking me because she said due to the grades she teaches she doesn’t get teacher gifts. I was shocked and she said she is envious of the elementary school teachers cuz they get all the appreciation gifts and I told her they would be getting end of year ones as well she got all excited. Middle school teachers and HS teachers need love to.

@LYSLCY 2 года назад

@@meaganodell4479 that’s so true I teach middle and high, and I only get a couple of gifts each year (which is totally fine). We don’t expect parents to buy gifts for 8 teachers. It’s also totally fine to just get 1 or 2 gifts for your kids’ favorite teachers. Whatever our students choose is always appreciated, and when we do get a gift it is extra special.

@maggiebridget126 Год назад

I know a teacher who displays his mugs on shelves in his classroom. The most cherished ones are either personalized or handcrafted in art class.

@kimberlyborosa5097 8 месяцев назад

Not so for me. I tried liking them, but I just can't seem to find them cute, especially since I'm a minimalist who does not drink coffee or tea. I kindly asked students and staff not to get me them, I'd prefer just a simple 'thank you' instead, but they still ignored my request.

@angelamita9742 2 года назад

My aunt was a teacher and after she passed away we found a letter from one of her students that she saved about what a difference she made. It was so heartwarming and inspiring that I printed it and framed it to remind me of what kind of person she was and the kind of person I want to strive to be. My point is that this was gift that meant a lot to her and was even a gift for her daughter and I after she passed away.

@jodiewilkins6958 5 лет назад

I always feel embarrassed at getting gifts from my class. Especially as there are usually a few children who’s parents don’t bother or can’t afford to give to us and those children always look really embarrassed. And they shouldn’t! Christmas is a time to be kind, not to give presents for the sake of receiving them. I make a point of not opening in front of children due to these children but always write a thank-you note. I totally agree with the first few points! A heartfelt letter is amazing, and a class collection to a voucher is way better than 20 sets of miniature shower gel. To be clear: we never expect presents. However it seems that it is expected of us to get the children presents now. Trying to find gifts for 30 children under £1 each is so difficult and sometimes the recipients aren’t that grateful. I’m on MAT leave at the moment, but next year I’m going to install a kindness advent and encourage this rather than gift giving. Love your blogs, Emily! They have really helped me navigate life with a newborn! X

@noorthamir1184 5 лет назад

Jodie Wilkins I loved your comment. It’s so thoughtful. I can imagine how hard it’s when kids feel embarrassed for that. ❤️

@mommyof3smarties 5 лет назад

Jodie, i completely see where you are coming from. When you mentioned teachers giving gifts to the children, myself as a mother of 3 never would expect a teacher to give my children a gift. This has happened in the past and I honestly think that it should not be expected, i am ashamed by some who think it should. A gesture, perhaps (holiday hugs, mean so much more to a child)...a gift? Totally unnecessary.

@livrennie8630 5 лет назад

hey,, just quickly I was wondering this,, my science teacher is my fave teacher and I've had her for two years ,,I love her to bits. She just told our class she's pregnant and I know nobody else would bother but I wanted to get her something,, do you think personally you would appreciate a small blanket for the baby ?? X only asking since you said you were on mat leave 😂❤️

@meaganodell4479 2 года назад

Getting children presents I never heard nor expect that of a teacher. Wow 😯

@susandaulton4859 5 лет назад

The parent gave us a big Aldi 'bag for life' crammed with crisps, biscuits, coffee, teabags, cereal bars, cup-a-soups... ect... with the thought behind it being that it took care of our lunches for a couple of days! Which it did :)

@OMGitsaClaire 5 лет назад

My mom was a teacher for 30 years. She has well over two dozen Christmas mugs and another two dozen “best teacher” Christmas ornaments. And honestly most of them don’t get used. When she started teaching she got more gifts but the last years she taught her school system put a cap on teacher gifts to a value of $5 per child. But even a homemade and a $5 Starbucks gift card lets a teacher know you care and lets them have a little treat. And as for American teachers needing school supplies: my mom got $60 a year to supply her classroom. While kids brought supplies from home some kids didn’t have many resources. And by Christmas all the glue sticks are dried up and all the crayons are broken. If you want to donate supplies to the classroom ask what the teacher needs. It may be a new electric pencil sharpener or packs of pencils or packs of lined paper. But there will be something.

As a secondary school teacher in the UK, I spend a fortune each year on glue sticks, highlighters and packs of paper.

not sure if you'll reply but my teacher has saved my life and helped me so much and because i'm in year 11 and had her last year I wrote her a message last year and I did the same this year but I think it's not enough because I already did that but i don't know much about her because she listens to my problems more so do you think something personalised like a painting or something might be good? she gave me this really inspiring metaphor and I thought I could create a painting out of it but I don't know if she'll like it because she's a French teacher not an art.

There are many children in my school who tell me I am their favourite person at school, which melts my heart!

The US has some very strict ideas about teachers social lives. I've known teachers who have been disciplined for being seen at a local restaurant having margaritas after work, not acting foolish, not drunk, just seen with a drink. We would possible get in trouble for accepting alcohol as a gift, also it would get the parent in trouble to bring it on school grounds. I was taken into my principals office with one of his assistants my first year because some students had gotten a picture of myself and my boyfriend(now husband) off Facebook simply standing together at my cousin's wedding...the students made inappropriate comments about the two of us and I recieved a warning about my social life becoming a distraction. We don't drink. We don't party. We literally were standing in formal attire that was not revealing and smiling at the camera.

It’s so true, a message of genuine thanks is so awesome. I keep them all ❤

I'm going to get my teaching degree and move to the UAE. Lol thanks for sharing. This is my first time and your list of dos and don't is helpful.

@pardeeppaddan3628 5 лет назад

I'm a teacher love cards or pictures from pupils. Also love stationary gifts, chocolate/biscuits and candles.

@lizemuller7524 5 лет назад

I'm also a teacher, and I agree with the stationery we also have to supply our own stationery so that is a great idea! And a heart felt letter of appreciation is always the best

@mtaylor414 5 лет назад

This is fabulous and very helpful! Thank you Emily. I have a first grader (United States) who is my only child so this is only my second year to buy for a teacher and I am at a loss. This helps so much! xoxo

It's currently teachers appreciation week and i decided to buy my sons teacher lunch for tomorrow. I decided to pair it with a gift card and some school supplies (pens, expor markers, etc). Its not a lot but I figured it beats a mug lol

@polly5636 5 лет назад

When I was younger both my parents were teachers and they NEVER had to buy chocolate at Christmas, it all came from others! The mugs and tat just used to go in the bin... they always felt bad but there was just no room for it!

@cholocortez4887 Год назад

Tysvm for this it helped me so very much I wanna try this to my strict teacher so that she can hopefully change and know that she's still appreciated and is still a super duper very great teacher💜💚☺💚💜

This was such a welcomed video. I have been agonizing over what to get sons first ever teacher who is a superstar. This is great!! Thanks Emily and all the honest hardworking teachers out there 😊

When i was a teacher i looooved having little messages from the kids. I still keep them years on in my.memory box

@stellarfox2011 5 лет назад

Emily I have only recently discovered your channel as I’m expecting my first and I found your newborn essentials video... I am now addicted to all your videos! I can’t wait to have a lovely little family like yours 💕 p.s. you really do have the loveliest voice!

@terryjackson517 2 года назад

I bought my sons’ teachers all of them and more “edible arrangement, Michael Kors purses, MASSIVE gift cards, wine, money, chocolate, bath & body works, etc.”

@carlaswain2290 5 лет назад

Teacher here too! Absolutely yes to vouchers.In the whole time I have been teaching I have never received a voucher.I always get so much chocolate that it saves me from having to buy any over Christmas so that is a plus.

@ana-mariac.177 5 лет назад

Brilliant idea! Love it! I am a teacher and i totally agree 😊 Most hated gift by me is definitely flowers. Gratitude is always the gift that warms my heart. Keep up the good work, i love watching vlogmas on your channel! 🤗😘

@hanac1983 5 лет назад

When did this become a thing to give gifts to teachers? We never did as kids and this puts a lot of pressure on parents who are unable to afford it. Must also be hard on the children who haven't got a gift as it points them out as different. I find it a very weird thing to do.x

@rescuetheanimals5949 5 лет назад

100% agree x

@lalaloom9489 5 лет назад

Totally agree!

@sandracalderon-andrade7537 5 лет назад

It's a thing since it's nice to be appreciative of all the work teachers do teaching and caring for your child. A thank you note is free...just saying

@keeravivian 5 лет назад

-_-...She made it clear they don't expect presents, that the thing they loved most was a heartfelt note. I think that is the least you can do. They take care of your kid all year and do way more than they are paid for.

@kindairreevant8607 5 лет назад

Emily I love your videos so much 💓 💖 💗 Please do a day in the life! This is so helpful! x

@Jenniferslife01 5 лет назад

I'm a childcare teacher and I think these are great ideas. A thank you card would be the best gift from a child and their parents.

@karenmilitello9884 5 лет назад

No mugs, that's for sure!! I do not drink coffee and I ALWAYS get Starbuck's gift cards!! I like to get gift cards to book stores or clothing stores!!

@thiswildelifex 5 лет назад

Couldn't agree more with the "know who you're buying for!" My fiance is a teacher and we are vegan and she often gets bought chocolate and I work in special needs kids transport and I often get chocolate, cakes or non vegan candles and it feels so mean to give it away x

@annikabranding1810 5 лет назад

Wow Emily, you really did your homework. I am a teacher myself and agree 100% with your recommended gift ideas. Especially appreciate the cards and an honest "Dankeschön". Am German...

@carinacarroll1980 5 лет назад

I love giving my kids teachers gifts just a thank you for the year especially if the teacher was amazing and went above and beyond. I din't spend much and keep it thoughtful and simple.

@sehrnazim2944 5 лет назад

Bless you Emily! I was just stressing about what to buy my daughters nursery teacher (this is the first time I am buying a gift for a teacher) And I thought ‘has Emily done a video on this previously?’ And then the title popped up on my screen! 😀👍

@assyriannahrin 2 года назад

Totally agree, I always give gift cards

@lynseymoffett9656 5 лет назад

First time round buying gift for nursery teacher... Got a lovely card and a 2pack of novelty xmas socks in a nice little box from M+S.... So glad socks didnt show on ur what not to buy list lol.... Well maybe it falls under clothes....?!?! Great video, always perfect timing too xx

@lizcourtney1 5 лет назад

socks are one of those things that will always get used, I always appreciate them! Even if they're a weird style or whatever, you can wear them at home/have shoes on when you go out

Emily you are a life saver. You don't know how many times you saved me. I am not only a first time mom but also new to UK. Your videos are so much helpful and full of informations. A big hug from me. Love from Scotland 💓

@ebonymckenzie1112 5 лет назад

It is so amazing how you are allowing the teachers to have a voice. I think that teachers are extremely underappreciated. I know they don't do it for the reward but it would be nice for us to show them we care, even if the government doesn't. REAL TAKE from THE PURPLE UNICORN MISS D.P.C.A. DEUCES ✌
