♥ Crio Bru

One of my standard gifts I give at Christmas time- Crio Bru! It’s like ground coffee beans but it’s cacao beans and it comes in a few different flavours. Rich, dark and chocolatey, it’s great to make a hot drink or to use in recipes. You could always add a Keep Cup to the gift as well (see below) to make a more substantial gift.

Check out Mandy’s Crio Bru store online here.

♥ Xmas Decorations

Another of my standard teacher gifts every year. It is a little keepsake that will remind teachers of their student whenever they decorate the tree. Check out these beautiful ceramic stars that are handmade by a Brisbane mum.

♥ Flora Remedia Calm Roll-On

Seriously, I don’t know how teachers cope with the noise and energy of 20 odd kids every day. I sometimes struggle with two! So this Calm roll-on from Flora Remedia may be a welcome relief! It combines not only gorgeous essential oils, but flower essences as well for a double whammy. You roll it on your pulse points for soothing, calming and centering. Actually, I think I need one for myself anyway!!

♥ Keep Cup

The Keep Cup is a glass reusable cup for hot drinks. Perfect for playground duty or sipping on in class – a lot safer than a coffee cup. You might want to add a few vouchers from your local coffee shop as well. Get it online here in all different styles and colours.

♥ Treehouse Room Spray

♥ Organic Wine

If all else fails, just go with a bottle of good wine. After all they have put up with our cherubs all year. Maybe a case would be a more adequate compensation!! 😉
