B&M shoppers can't get enough of bargain teacher's gift that's scanning at tills for just 25p
B&M has slashed the price of a bargain gift, perfect for giving to teachers, to just 25p.
With the school summer holidays just around the corner, many parents are likely racing around, desperate to find a gift to thank their kids' teachers for their hard work.

Thankfully, B&M has the perfect budget buy that won't break the bank.
The Mini Frosted Candle has been slashed from 98p to just 25p, a saving of 74%.
It comes in three gorgeous scents, apricot and amber, melon musk and peach and patchouli, that are guaranteed to make teachers feel relaxed and at peace after a long year.
The stylish candle has a burn time of up to eight hours, making it perfect for lighting when you're in the bath, or cosying up to watch a film.
Plus, it comes in a chic glass container that will instantly elevate the look of your home.
B&M said: "This Mini Frosted Candle will fill your home with its sweet scent all day long.
"A great addition to your home decor."

The plants are perfect for small gardens and patios.
But they are also suitable for growing indoors, the product description says.
Should you buy a teacher a gift?
IF you are wondering whether or not to buy your child's teacher an end-of-year gift, look no further...
As the summer holidays fast approach, Fabulous Senior Digital Writer and mum-of-two Sarah Bull weighs in on whether you should feel obliged to buy your kids' teachers a present to mark the end of term.
Sarah said: "It can be pricey trying to keep the kids entertained during six weeks off school.
"But before the end of term, parents all over the country are also trying to budget for gifts for their kids' teachers too.
"With teachers, teaching assistants, SEN specialists and other beloved staff members to buy for, it can be an expensive business.
"And while lots of schools actively discourage parents from spending their money on end-of-term presents for teachers, I consider it an obligation.
"After all - I know how tough my kids can be at home, and their teachers have to keep them in check for the majority of the day - so don't they deserve a token of appreciation?
"I also wouldn't want my children to feel left out when their friends arrive at school armed with pressies for their teachers.
"While some parents go all out with gifts, with alcohol and flowers popular choices, I'll be doing my best to stay at the £5 mark for each of the four staff members I'll be buying for.
"And with some fab options in stores like Poundland, Home Bargains and B&M, it should be easy for me to stick to my budget."
It also details how the mini plants can grow between 26cm and 30cm tall.
