Please don’t look through any of my old posts where I say “I’m getting organised for Christmas this year” or “I’ll start all of my Christmas gift making in January this year” because guess what? It hasn’t happened, as usual. I usually like to make something for the teachers whether its homemade cookies or a gift card presented nicely. I get the children to hand write and decorate a card and I like to write a note in there myself.  I’m not leaving it until the last minute this year (I promise) and here are 21 homemade Christmas presents for teachers you can get ready NOW.  (I’ll keep any baking for the last minute but get things ready as much as I can.)
