Would something like hand cream be an ok gift for little ones teacher as a thankful? I know they get a tonne of chocolates and mugs so trying to think of something that might be helpful.

I genuinely read "mugs" as "drugs" and still thought it still made sense for a teacher.

Sure the teacher would love a white Christmas!

Related: it was a colleagues birthday today. I bought her a coffee and a pastry. When I brought it to her, she already had a pile of baked goods and a coffee on her table brought in by other ppl

Don’t give a cinema voucher I can tell you that much.

I am now thinking a gift card instead. I figure the cream, while nice, she may have skin allergies or not like the smell, etc.
