Christmas is a very special time of the year for us. It is during this festive occasion that one gets to participate in the act of gift giving.

Being a teacher for the past 7 years I have received quite a fair bit of presents from my elementary students.

It is not the price or the size of the gift that matter but rather the intention behind the gift.

The gifts that I treasured the most were those that were handmade and made with love.

• A simple handmaid card
• Baked cookies or cakes
• Fruit Salad

• A personalized poem/note from the student

Practical gifts which I appreciate are

• Red pens ( to mark the kids work)
• Table organiser

Extravagant gifts which I sometimes receive

• Food vouchers
• costume jewellery
• photo frames
• lunch box
• mugs
• cutlery
