Ah, the end-of-year Christmas gift mental load.
Once you've stopped thinking about presents for the kids, it's time to sort something for their school teachers or daycare educators, dance teachers, footy coaches, soccer team manager, drama teacher, ballet… you get my drift.
Watch: The 7 Different Types of School Parents. Post continues below.
One thing to keep in mind if you live in NSW or Victoria — they have clear policies on giving gifts! In both states, any gift, benefit or hospitality valued over $50 must be reported. So you want to be careful you aren't giving them the 'gift' of more admin…
If it's a 'group gift' from multiple people, and it's over $50, they don't need to declare it, so a great way to go. And there are convenient sites that let everyone chip in and sign the card online, like Group Together.
But if you missed the memo in the group chat, or just want to get something special for that wonderful teacher who really made a difference this year, I'm here to help.
There are only so many mugs one's kitchen cupboards can accommodate, so we've lifted the load for you and found what teachers actually want this Christmas (and kept it to $50 and under).
