IF your child’s teacher is in a class of their own, you could show your gratitude at the end of the school year with a special gift.
A small gesture will mean the world and doesn’t need to break the bank.

So say thank you with these budget ideas . . .
MAKE IT SPECIAL: Teachers say the presents they treasure the most are the ones made by their pupils.
Let your little one create their own work of art — a postcard with a picture on one side and a message on the other will melt hearts.
Show it off in a silver hanging metal frame, with glass on each side, down from £4.50 to £2 at Matalan.
KEEPY CUPPIES: For the tea or coffee- loving teacher, how about a reusable cup or special mug for the staff room?
You could place a home-made or shop-bought goodie inside and, if you can spare the cash, a gift voucher for their favourite coffee shop would be the cherry on top.
Attach a hand-written, heartfelt gift tag from your child.
TAKE NOTE: Every teacher will appreciate a fresh new notepad.
