How to choose a gift for a graduation teacher?

The graduation party is an important milestone in school life, because this date will be solemn, unforgettable and a little sad for many people.

In fourth grade, graduation is a transition from elementary school to middle school. And if the first teacher is the “second mother” who devotes a lot of time to the child, now he has to communicate with several teachers. In the ninth grade, some of the matured students already leave school, parting with the student team and teachers. And the most important and solemn prom night comes in the eleventh grade, because he personifies the exit into adulthood.

For this reason, the desire of pupils and parents to express their gratitude to teachers, to keep a memory of themselves is understandable and justified. In addition to warm words and flowers, the tradition to present memorable gifts has long been established. But to choose an interesting and necessary gift is far from easy, because it must meet several criteria.

In order for the gift not to get dusty on the shelf, taking up space, you need to consider the following points:

• interests, hobbies, hobbies of the teacher;
• how much the gift will be timely, necessary and useful;
• will he serve for a long time;
• relative neutrality and universality of the gift, if it is not possible to know the preferences of the teacher.

For this reason, at the official part, usually held in school, except for flowers, You can only hand stationery. Presentation of more expensive gifts can be made only outside the educational institution.

If earlier the teachers themselves often suggested that they could be given as a gift, now it is impossible to do this, therefore Representatives of the parent committee will have to resolve this issue themselves.

Primary school teachers are not allowed to give expensive presents to the graduation class in the 4th grade, but with a little imagination, you can “invent” an original gift, the creation of which is worth attracting children. One of the ideas in the implementation of which children's participation is simply necessary - touching album "Ladoshki". Here is the easiest way to make it: on a dense white cardboard, the child either leaves his handprints painted with paint, or simply leads them around the contour.

It can be as one palm, or both. Then the imprint is carefully cut, on one side a picture of the child is pasted, on the other - you can either write a poem about the school, or kind words addressed to the teacher. Then all the "palms" are collected in one memorable album.

Interesting individual gifts can be ordered in the workshop. It can be a watch where the dial is replaced on the photo of the pupils, a beautiful box for storing jewelry and knickknacks with a photo class on the lid. Another interesting idea is an author's cake with elements of school subjects or a sweet “bouquet”.

Many parents and students themselves are engaged in needlework. Crocheted napkins, tablecloths, quilt, blanket, made in the technique of "patchwork", embroidery - any creative ideas are welcome.

In the ninth grade, subject teachers on the occasion of the end of the school year can be presented with just a beautiful bouquet and various stationery items. It is not necessary for the class teacher to give an expensive gift - jewelry, household appliances, trips or gadgets will not be entirely appropriate.

Typically, students and parents are well known tastes and interests of the teacher, therefore, first of all, you need to focus on them. To an avid theater-goer you can give tickets to a play, a book lover - an e-book or certificate to a bookstore.

Practical and always necessary objects will be appropriate. Their list is listed below.

• Beautiful pen. Commemorative engraving with kind words will be a wonderful decoration. It is possible to attach a notebook or diary in leather binding to the pen, an original stand.
• If the teacher is a collector, you can purchase items complementing his collection.
• Many teachers are passionate florist. Rare plant set of original flower pots - A great choice for a gift.
• Interior items: floor or wall clock, designer table lamp, original floor lamp, throw pillows and bedspreads, beautiful dishes. Modern technologies allow to turn these, at first glance, ordinary things into a unique decoration of the room.
• If the teacher himself is a creative person, fond of painting, music, needlework, then sets of high-quality professional tools to carry out this activity will always be relevant.
• A good gift that allows the teacher to choose a gift for himself is certificate for the purchase of cosmetics, perfume or clothing.

The last bell and prom in the eleventh grade are special and exciting events. This is parting with the school, parting with teachers and classmates and entering adulthood. The solemnity of this moment involves the delivery of special, more spectacular gifts. But to hand a costly gift at the holiday dedicated to the last call should not be. This is a school holiday and, in accordance with the law, a gift, the value of which exceeds 3 thousand rubles, can serve as a pretext for a charge of corruption and the subsequent application of disciplinary sanctions against the teacher.

On this day, it is appropriate to present to the class teacher as a souvenir. an original photo collage, an unusual photo album, an electronic photo frame, a film about class life, a thank-you book with kind words. The students themselves will cope with this task perfectly. Such gifts are kept very reverently - the memory of such a release will remain for a long time.

But at the graduation party, in an informal setting, a more informal personal gift can also be presented. When choosing it, you should also be guided by several rules.

• Appliances It is presented if it is known that the teacher needs it at a specific moment. The choice of brand should be approached very responsibly, so that the device does not break when it is first used.
• The same goes for gadgets. A modern teacher needs a laptop, a tablet, and a phone, but they need to be acquired by familiarizing themselves with their functional capabilities and well-versed in the models offered. Checks and documents for any equipment must be attached.
• Jewelry may not be entirely appropriate. Of course, this is a beautiful, valuable and solid gift. But you need to know how the teacher relates to this kind of products.

There are subtleties that you need to know when choosing: jewelry or gifts made in silver, are given only if it is branded or collectible items.

• It is not necessary to choose rings or bracelets, as knowledge of the exact size and, preferably, fitting is required. More suitable earrings, pendants, pendants, brooches. If the teacher's taste tastes are unknown, then it is better to give a gift certificate.
• Vacation vouchers, spa treatment, tourist trips can be handed out only after a preliminary "intelligence", as it may be that the state of health or the presence of other plans will not allow the trip.

It is customary to give gifts at the graduation party not only to the class teacher, but also to subject teachers. When choosing them, you can go two ways:

• choose something neutral, suitable for a teacher of any profile - this will avoid unnecessary comparisons and offenses;
• focus on professional activities (for example, a teacher of Russian language and literature will be grateful if you receive an e-book or a collector's edition of dictionaries, a mathematician will appreciate a laser pointer, and a biologist - an exotic plant or an electron microscope).

A male teacher can give an expensive tie, a clip for him, a wrist watch. If he cares about health, is interested in cars, then a gift certificate to the appropriate store will be quite appropriate. The ability to choose a gift and give it beautifully is a very valuable quality. It is important to approach the choice informally. Not only a material gift is valuable to any teacher, but also words of respect and gratitude, a warm memory of the students.

Teachers and practical jokes, comic gifts, funny letters, medals and orders, poems and songs will be appreciated. As a rule, the 11th grade is a solid and friendly team, where there are born humorists, scriptwriters, and creative personalities.
