Gift for teacher

Tweet

It’s the end of the academic year and in primary school, many pupils like to give their teacher a little leaving gift. Of course the problem is what to get. Some give a bottle of wine or chocolates, but you don’t want to inundate a teacher with chocolate especially in this hot weather when they have been brought into a hot classroom! There’s a limit to how many ‘Best Teacher’ mugs or ornaments any teacher could want, and for a man especially things like flowers or scented things tend not to be considered as options so often. So Little One and I decided that a gnome would be as good a gift as any - it would be unique and hopefully would make him smile and show she had gone to some trouble to make him something special. Here is the result - apparently Teacher did smile, and named him ‘Bob’. Maybe he will brighten up his desk for a while. All rights reserved. © Text and image copyright Fleur 2021.
