‘Bargain' £5 teacher gift is scanning at 59p in B&M but people say they ‘must roll their eyes' & would ‘rather get wine'
SHOPPERS have been left totally divided by a £5 teacher gift from B&M. So with the end of school term fast approaching, if you aren't sure what to get your little one 's teacher, you've come to the right place. 2 2 One bargain hunter was left stunned when browsing the aisles in her local B&M store, when she spotted a gift that's sure to be great for all chocolate loving teachers - and even better, it's now been reduced. But while Stacy thought the purse-friendly gift would be 'thoughtful', not everyone was as keen. Posting on BARGAIN LOVERS Poundland, Home Bargains, B&M, Primark, The Range & More, a public Facebook group with 855,100 members, Stacy uploaded a snap of the Thank You Teacher Chocolate Card, leaving many open-mouthed. Alongside her post, the savvy shopper penned: 'Spotted these in B&M. I know the chocolate isn't worth £5 but thought they were still thoughtful.' According to B&M bosses, this affordable and "unique" find, which is said to now be scanning at tills for just 59p, is the perfect gift for any teacher at the end of term. It includes an 'irresistible selection' of chocolate favourites from Cadbury, Galaxy, Nestle and more. It's been hailed as a 'thoughtful and delicious gift' for teachers, to say thank you for all their help and support. So if you know that your child's teacher loves munching on Twirl or Boost bars in between lessons, you'll need to move quickly to nab this. Stacy's post has quickly amassed 466 likes and 119 comments, but Facebook users were left totally divided by the high-street buy. While some thought it was an 'absolute bargain', others described it as 'clutter' and believed teachers would 'hate' it. I'm a teacher & there are four end of term gifts I can't STAND receiving Not only this, but numerous shoppers claimed to have spotted the gift at a reduced price, as one beamed: 'Down to 59p today! Just saw them.' Whilst someone else gasped: 'Just saw them down to 59p!' Thrilled with the gift, someone else wrote: ' Chocolate bars are over £1 each so to say you get the chocolate and the board for a fiver is an absolute bargain.' Meanwhile, another user penned: 'Love this!' 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." But at the same time, not everyone was keen on the gift, as one person said: 'Teachers must roll their eyes.' Another added: 'Teachers would rather have wine.' A third commented: 'Teachers must hate these presents and the mugs, key rings etc. Just club together as parents, fiver each, and get them a voucher. Cheaper and easier!' Someone else advised: 'Just give them the £5 worth of chocolate. More clutter isn't usually on the top of a teacher's wish list.' And a fifth cheekily joked: 'The sort of people who would buy this probably also have 'Live Laugh Love' on the wall at home.'
