For many parents, the question of what to give the teacher for the holiday causes indignation and bewilderment. Meanwhile, the educators themselves do not see anything special in him.

We talked with three Moscow kindergarten workers and found out which gifts they prefer, which candies they most often get on holidays, and how they relate to cash presentations.

Veronica:

The tradition of giving gifts to educators is not everywhere. It all depends on the location kindergarten... If it is on the periphery (for example, on Shchelkovskaya, in Vykhino or Zhulebino), then you are unlikely to get even a decent box of chocolates. There are many visitors in these areas, and people choose gifts poorer. For several years I worked in a private kindergarten, where teachers were given expensive clutches, gold, Estee Lauder cosmetics. It was enough to mention that you need a laptop or a refrigerator, and there were people who wanted to give it all away.

To be honest, educators like it when they are remembered and given gifts. Now in the usual kindergarten where I work, mostly parents bring cakes, marshmallows in chocolate. Before the big holidays, mothers from parent committee come up and say: “We have 7 thousand rubles ( for 2 teachers and a nanny-approx. edition): should you give or buy something with money? " The management does not allow us to take money, so we ask you to donate certificates to lingerie and cosmetics stores. It will always come in handy on the farm.

If there are adequate mothers in the parent committee, then the gifts will be normal. Of course, it is much more pleasant to receive a box of Swiss Mozart sweets for a holiday (one box costs 700-800 rubles) than the same Korkunov.

The last hit of the season is stoles. They are being carried to me in great numbers. You have to redirect, but you don't need to spend money on gifts. One mother recently presented a huge bag with gifts, I had to return home by taxi: there was a huge bathrobe, food in beautiful packaging.

If you want to give the teacher an expensive gift, it is better not to advertise it. So that there is no envy within the team. It always turns out that someone gets better things. We do not tell about the gifts to the shift teachers, but there is always a nanny who will look at everyone and report the situation to colleagues.

Elena:

Like most of my colleagues, I am often presented with sweet gifts in the form of candy, chocolate, tea and champagne. Frequent shower gels and foams, which come under the funny code name "soapy". In all honesty, I confess that I am glad to any gifts: I love sweets, I drink tea and wash, by the way, too.

But the most beloved presents, which are taken by heart, are those that remain for memory (after all, sweets are eaten, and champagne is drunk). So, I have an impressive photo album with a very beautiful cover showing a map of the world; rag Christmas decorations: a bell, a herringbone and a star, which I hang each New Year in the House; a napkin with embroidered stitches and many unique postcard designs on which girls and boys have left their inimitable mark. Their first vivid impressions of the preschool period of life, captured on paper, unevenly and diligently inscribed letters along the drawing, are the most valuable gifts for me.

Nina:

The most unwanted sweets in our family are Korkunov and Rafaello, because in kindergarten they are carried in piles for the holidays. I have no space inquiries about the gifts I receive from the parent committee. But there is an allergy to nuts and chocolate, which must be put in everything grocery baskets which I get on New Years, March Eighth, and Educator's Day. I don't like it when gift certificates are given to a cosmetics store, but it's embarrassing to tell my parents not to. I don’t want to offend them, but it’s a shame for myself. I have to redistribute everything, I can't keep anything for myself.

If they asked me what to give, I would prefer money to everything else, or name a specific thing (for the amount allocated by my parents). Still, it is more pleasant to receive desired gifts, I want them to be different. The constant monotony in the form of sweets and teas is boring, although I am grateful to any signs of attention.

To give or not to give gifts to educators is a personal matter for each parent. If you are giving a present, it is important to do it with heart, and not for show. And remember that the attitude of the educator towards your child does not depend on the cost of the candy.

The names in the publication have been changed at the request of the educators.

It is customary to call the teacher the first teacher. primary grades but this is not entirely true. By right, the first person who becomes an authority for a child and whom he wants to imitate is the educator.

It is these people who begin to shape our worldview, in game form teach and instill life skills. Becoming an adult, a person still keeps in his memory the impressions of the kindergarten and the name of the teacher.

It is also important for parents, because it is he who is entrusted with looking after your still young children and shaping his personality. Therefore, on the eve of the teacher's anniversary, children and parents decide what to give the teacher for his birthday. After all, everyone wants to make this day happy for him.

Children make crafts and greeting cards.

Children ask their parents how to draw a birthday present for their beloved mentor. And at home, together with them, they are preparing a surprise for her, a portrait of the teacher.

But I want to give something from the whole group. Therefore, together with adults, they decide how to draw a birthday present. He must touch the heart of the mentor, he will be remembered. It can be a wall newspaper with photos and congratulations. Or here's a photo collage.

A beautiful bouquet of fresh flowers, a must-have element of the teacher's birthday celebration.

A delicate orchid in a pot will remind you of this day for a long time.

Or such a beautifully designed flower.

A cute dog, a composition of fresh flowers, will not leave indifferent the mentor.

Or a box with flowers, sweets and a cute soft toy.

You can make interesting flowerpots out of pencils or numbers.

With your own hands, together with your parents, make a bouquet of sweets.

A symbolic candy cake, also an interesting presentation option.

An original present will be cookies with icing and congratulations (see).

Advice. On the eve of the holiday, it is better to get together for parents and distribute who will do what and give. Then the gifts will be varied and interesting. For example, someone will bake cookies, others will help make a collage.

A present for the teacher, presented in a basket, will look aesthetically and effectively. It could be a set of good chocolate teas.

Or different delicacies.

Interesting gifts on the teacher's birthday

Do not forget about the main mentor who organizes the entire process of the preschool institution, about the head of the kindergarten.

So:

• For example, you can give him a beautiful porcelain service, just like the teacher.

• Nice gift set for making coffee.

• An exquisite porcelain figurine is an exquisite gift for a mentor. It will decorate the interior of the house and will remind of the group that presented it for many years.

• Not only beautiful, but also a symbolic gift - porcelain elephants, a symbol of prosperity and prosperity.

• The florarium, which is fashionable now, will become a decoration of the home interior., flowers in a vessel or miniature aquarium.

• To keep your mentor looking good, give her a nice cosmetic or bath kit.

• Gift for body and soul - soap self made.

• Or aroma lamp and a set of essential oils... They will help relieve fatigue, recover psychologically.

Hints. Before giving a gift to a mentor, try to find out what she likes and what she is interested in so that the gift meets her wishes. Perhaps the teacher has long wanted to buy something from household appliances. After all, you must admit that this is not the most secured category of professions.

Bouquet for the teacher with their own hands

The price of your gift is not in its value, but in the feeling of gratitude for the upbringing of your children. After all, they are partly their children, they give them part of their soul.

"Day of the teacher and all preschool workers" was established on the initiative of a number of all-Russian pedagogical publications (newspapers "Kindergarten from all sides", " Preschool education", The magazine" Hoop ") September 27, 2004. He was supported by the authors of most of the main preschool programs, kindergarten teachers and many parents. So the teachers and nannies had their own holiday, and for the holiday, of course, it is customary to give gifts!

When discussing what exactly to give on Teacher's Day on September 27, it is better for parents to immediately decide on the direction of choice. A gift for a preschool worker educational institution can be either original, practical, or professionally related. But in any case, in order to choose a worthy gift for your teacher and nanny in kindergarten, you need to think carefully, "include goodness" and imagination.

Glad to meet you!

The simplest, although, you see, not the original version - flowers and candy so that on their professional holiday, educators do not get bored during a quiet hour. The gift is inexpensive, versatile and very pleasant!

For those wishing to surprise

I would like to show originality - instead of sweets, hand over to the teacher personalized greeting poster ... Among parents, there are probably those who are familiar with computer design at least at an amateur level, and printing can be ordered inexpensively at any photo studio.

Other options are cute and not expensive gifts - painting , frame for photo or handmade soap set ... A rare woman, and mostly women work in kindergartens, will not be happy with such a present. If inserted into a regular photo frame for 150 rubles collage of photos of all the guys in the group , then you get a truly valuable, memorable little thing, which you simply won't raise your hand to hide in a closet.

For the practical

If most of the parents in the group are practical people, you can throw off all together and buy a worthwhile thing for the house : a juicer, hair dryer, food processor, coffee machine, or baking dish.

Can be suitable as a gift and something from computer technology such as a photo printer. It will not cost as cheaply as a photo frame and a collage, but the teacher will be able to print on it not only their personal photos, but also pictures of the kids from your group.

In good memory

For a small amount (up to a thousand rubles) you can purchase alarm clock with voice recorder ... Record on it the voice of one of the children singing a funny song, and the teacher and nanny are unlikely to ever forget this touching moment of their work biography.

Another option for an original gift for both the nanny and the teacher can be beautiful basket from a vine, decorated with flowers. You can neatly put various pleasant little things in it: chocolate, bath salt, the same handmade soap, in a word, products that are not as individual as beauty products and with which it is impossible to be mistaken.

Relaxation night light (where colorful wax balls slowly take on whimsical shapes), a waterfall lamp or scented lamp will give your caregiver the opportunity to relax at home and easily deal with any stress.

About her, about girlish

If you have already established friendly relations with the teacher, then you can please her with a gift that you would give to a colleague or good friend: certificate to the beauty salon, beautiful box with different accessories for storing jewelry will delight a young woman. But for a more experienced educator, you can choose as a gift plaid , stole or cozy sofa cushion .

"There is still a chance to excel"

A word to the donors and heroes of the occasion. What do parents and caregivers think about gifts for professional holiday?

Nadezhda Lisitskikh, educator

I am a practical woman and therefore I love it when someone gives me something practical; I would not mind a certificate for a small amount, for example, in a jewelry store.

Olga Savinova, junior educator

I am usually glad to all gifts, but not chocolate! My children from the group know that I don’t like sweets, so they don’t give them away, but before that there was a case that they would give 20 pieces, and then you don’t know where to put them ...

Daria, 6 years old, kindergarten preparatory group

I would give Valentina Petrovna a drawing with Ariel, this is a mermaid. When I draw dolls and mermaids, she always praises me, she probably likes it.

Natalia Baranova, mother

For our teacher and nanny for the holiday, we usually rent 100-200 rubles, children in the group are more than 20, so the amount is quite decent. They are young women, so we give them flowers and cosmetic sets. About original gifts never thought, but there is still a chance to excel.

Maria Konstantinova, educator

When they ask me what to give me, I am always uncomfortable, I say that I am an independent person and earn money myself. I am happy with any, even very modest gifts, it is always very pleasant.

By the way...

Should I give money to a teacher? Many parents believe that it is easier to give money to a teacher than to rack their brains and choose to buy what they like. However, not every teacher will be happy with such a gift, moreover, in some kindergartens, cash incentives for staff are completely prohibited, this may be spelled out in the contract. It is worth consulting with other parents and finding out how acceptable such gifts are to teachers in your kindergarten, and only then make a final decision.

What to give to a teacher, nanny or kindergarten head? Tips for choosing a gift for Teacher's Day from yourself, from a child or from a group of parents - dozens of examples of useful gifts.

Teacher's Day is celebrated at the end of September, on this holiday it is customary to congratulate all employees preschool institutions... A small present from yourself or a nice gift from a group of parents will be a good addition to congratulatory words and poems. The choice of a gift depends not only on the available budget, some kindergarten workers are offended if they are given expensive or personal gifts, while others are happy to accept them. Therefore, considering different options, you should take into account the characteristics of the recipient's character.

What to give for the day of the teacher personally from yourself

You can donate a set to the child's teacher chocolates, it is advisable to choose some unusual multi-tiered or curly box. A useful and offensive gift will be a collection set of tea or good coffee in gift wrapping... The vast majority of educators are women, so it is quite possible to buy something for home and everyday life, for example: champagne glasses, coffee cups, a set of cutlery, a set of knives, a silicone baking dish, a teapot made of glass, a beautiful salad bowl, a copper turk for brewing coffee. It is appropriate to give bamboo napkins for hot dishes, a set for serving olives, an original flower pot or a stylish vase for donated bouquets, be sure to accompany the presentation with a suitable one.

In addition to the kindergarten teachers, other employees work in the kindergarten, for example, nannies. They, too, must be congratulated and given small gifts. The simplest solution is to buy a large chocolate bar for each. But, most likely, other parents will do the same, so it is better to spend a little more time and choose a gift that will bring joy to the woman. Young girls can be presented with a piece of beautiful fragrant soap (you can buy handmade or liquid soap) or a shower gel. Hand creams, nail file sets, bag mirrors, souvenir pens, aroma medallions for essential oil... An elderly nanny can get a picture frame, kitchen potholders, a set of handkerchiefs, a pepper mill, a cup or tea strainer.

If it is not possible to buy a gift in a store, then children should be involved in its creation. Let them draw personalized cards for educators and nannies and write congratulatory verses on them. Together with the child, you can make as a gift small figurines of salt dough, flowers made of paper or napkins, mosaic pictures from eggshell, coffee trees or any other crafts. Handing gifts made with your own hands should be entrusted to the baby.

What to give from a group of parents

The pooling of finance always expands the possibilities in choosing a gift. You can give the head of the kindergarten something that she will be happy to use in her office. In order not to buy what is already there, it is advisable to go to the office on the eve of the holiday. It may be missing a comfortable table lamp, an electric kettle, a coffee maker, a mug warmer, a wall clock, a pretty pen holder, a picture on the wall, a flower vase, a humidifier, or a tabletop fountain. Teas in colorful earthenware jars and sets of spices in beautiful jars on a wooden stand look good as a gift.

For a teacher on her professional holiday, a group of parents can give something necessary for the home: a mixer, an iron, a coffee grinder, a blender, a set of pans, a double boiler or a toaster. There is nothing wrong with buying a kit as a gift for a teacher's day. bed linen, bath towel, blanket or blanket. Some parents are afraid not to please with a gift and give money, this is not entirely appropriate. Better to go the other way and present it as a congratulation Gift Certificate... A win-win option is a certificate for a hypermarket, which sells everything: food, cosmetics, household appliances and much more.

Before the distribution of sweets, the children congratulate the birthday boy. As adults, they wish him health and happiness, give him a gift from the group, play loaf, lead a round dance. I shouldn't do this, but I do it because I respect children's party and your children.

No one with you, Dear Parents, does not ask for sweets, but maybe it is your child, seeing that the teacher handed everything out and holds an empty bag of sweets in his hands, will ask:

Didn't my mom put you a candy?

They do not humiliate themselves by giving ...

A separate issue closely related to this is gifts. Here, in general, parents try to outdo each other.

I remember how one of our elderly caregivers cried, to which the parents of kindergarteners presented a food set for the professional holiday: two sticks of dry-cured sausage, a jar of caviar, a bottle of wine, all kinds of jars, a la salmon, tuna, olives and ... not a single flower.

To the mute question of the teacher who opened the package, super practical parents answered:

We thought that the flowers would wither, we'd better give them food. And what a small salary you have.

And they could not understand why the teacher silently returned the package and left the group, and then asked the head to transfer it.

Of course, we have a small salary and we cannot afford to buy French champagne, but we do not stand with our hands outstretched, do we? Would you like to receive a stick of sausage from grateful customers by the 8th of March or any of the holidays? Do you think about how humiliating it is?

Even if the flowers wither, all the same, it is they who are an indicator of the respect and value of this person for the giver.... Why do you think that the teacher is a different kind of person?

If you really want to thank the teacher or nanny for looking after or congratulating on the holiday, think about what you would give your colleague. A set of kitchen towels or a can of caviar?

I do not call for making expensive gifts, but do not humiliate yourself and the person to whom you are presenting your gift.

Sometimes it's better to just get by with flowers or candy.

Maybe there are educators or teachers who demand gold chains and vouchers to Turkey as a gift for the New Year, Women's Day or Teacher's Day - I have not met such in all my 10 years of work in a preschool institution.

Much more of those who spend part of their salary on scrap materials: scotch tape, pencil sharpeners, paper - so that your children draw and give these drawings or crafts to you.

Show basic respect for the person you trust your child for 8-10 hours every day. Nobody forces you to provide us with coffee or tea, give us envelopes with money or anything else.

Dishwashing detergents and sponges that you bring, we do not take home: count how many bottles of this product per year are needed to wash 17-20 full sets of dishes 3-4 times a day.

Nobody asks you to fawn, curry favor or worship "such a heroic profession." Just treat educators and teachers normally. We will answer you in kind.
