  • Teacher Gifts of Home Fragrance Products For Under £5.00

    It’s getting closer to that time of year where many people want to thank the teachers who have been educating and looking after their children for the last school year. I’ve spent many years buying gifts for multiple teachers for both of my children, so I know how it can be difficult to get affordable, nice and not the norm gifts for them. I can imagine it’s hard for others too if they don’t want to buy the usual mug, diaries or biscuits. So I’ve kept my eyes peeled for affordable home fragrance products that would make nice gifts for teachers in both ASDA and Home Bargains.

    Why choose home fragrance as a gift?

    Most people use some form of home fragrance products in their homes. They’re practical, can be used for decoration and fragrance. Overall home fragrance products is a little more thoughtful than other potential gifts.

    ASDA – Tinned Candles

    My local ASDA has a good selection of home fragrance products. I spotted these new tinned candles because they looked great, good variety of fragrances and were only £2.00 each! They looked more expensive than what they were and even on it’s own would make a nice gesture.

    Home Bargains – Reed Diffusers

    I spotted two different brands of reed diffusers, two different price points with different scents available. The first one I spotted was James & Co Fragrance Reed Diffusers. 100ml in size and scents included French Lavender and Vanilla, each costing only £1.79. The other brand I saw was from Wax Lyrical. 100ml in size and only in one fragrance which was Coastal Breeze. This was a little more pricey at £2.99, but still not particularly expensive.

    I also spotted two jar candles which looked very appealing. One in the brand of Yankee Candle in different scents. I picked up Cupcake Party. This was a good sized candle (not massive but not small either) and cost only £3.99. The other was Wickford & Co, and these seemed to be cocktail scented. The jars were striking, fun fragrances and only £2.99.

    There were so many more fragrance products available in both of these stores. But the ones I mentioned grabbed my attention because of price, how they looked, fragrances available and having a sneaky sniff of them made me interested! Pop one of these in a gift bag alone or with something else, and this would be nice gift to receive at the end of the school year.

  • My Affordable Teacher Gifts For End Of School Year

    The end of the school year is creeping up for families and schools in the UK. It’s an exceptionally busy time thanks to a mix of different events before school gates shut for the Summer. One thing many parents will be rushing around grabbing within the next 2 weeks are gifts and cards for their children’s teachers. If you know me or/and read my blog posts, you would have guessed I sorted out our gifts ages ago! Just in case you are looking for some last minute inspiration, here is what I bought my daughter’s two primary school teachers for the end of this week.

    My Teacher Gifts!
    Simple’s Pollution Protect Sheet Mask

    I picked this up for 49p in Home Bargains a few months ago. I opted for this because I’m not sure of my daughter’s teacher’s skin types and it’s a safe option. No fragrances are included, no alcohol and colourings. Ideal for skin which could be sensitive so okay for all skin types. The Simple masks I’ve used have been very moisturising and nice on the skin, so I thought this was a good and exceptionally priced buy.

    The Body Shop’s Bath Bubble

    I’ve used these many times and enjoyed them because they’ve created fragrant and enjoyable baths. Only £1.50 each and available in a variety of fragrances. So not only a great quality product, but an everyday affordable item too.

    The Body Shop’s Body Butter

    When The Body Shop had a sale late last year/beginning of this year, I bought these knowing these would be teacher gifts. Most people love a body butter, and these were the perfect small sizes (50ml) to use as a try me. Or possibly ideal travel sizes if teacher’s were going away during the Summer holidays. £2.00 each and a great body product I’ve loved using myself in different fragrances.

    Dr Organic’s Body Wash

    Another item bought from Home Bargains. 75ml body wash for only 49p was the icing on top of the cake for a small gift bag containing 4 different bath, body and skincare products! These smelled great and in a decent size. The full sized versions of 250ml usually cost around £6.00, so this shows how well priced this body wash was.

    So for the grand total of £4.48 each (x2), this gift hasn’t broken the bank. I would hope that they’re enjoyed and is different to the usual box of chocolates teacher’s get! For under £5.00 this should give our teacher’s a little well deserved pampering, all done on a budget!
