My favourite present ever is:

Stress kits. I will upload some examples (watch this space) I needed somethign to do this afternoon anyway!!! I am actually quite excited at the moment - my old class is video conferencing me in about 2 -3 hours from New Zealand! they are on camp.... very cool huh!

For the cheap option - but still wonderful - give people a christmas card or scroll telling them how wonderful they are.

Finished - here you go: http://www.eslprintables.com/printable.asp?id=134609#thetop It also has an example of student and teacher anti stress kit.

I hope you like it.

Hello Karen,

If you�re looking for a nice (and not so expensive) present for your adult students you could give each of them an ornament for their Christmas trees. I did it a couple of years and students were really glad. It�s a good way of saying "Merry Christmas, I really appretiate you guys" and they all love it (men and women) :)

Hiya Karenp,

You can also source a special christmas decoration for each student and pop it into a Christmas card. As Christmas is a time for remembering special people and times , it becomes a good reminder for them as they do their tree every year. I do it for my friends and they love it.

Regards

Andrea

Yeah I have already downloaded the printable Vickii and see the word " lollipop"

This remind me of my school years.My memoir is also related with the topic presents.

Once a time we-students- sold lollipops in the canteen with the permisson of the principal.

And the ones who bought our lollipops left written Xmas messages to us for to send others later.

We wrote the messages on Xmas cards and before Xmas we distrubute the cards like a postman.

Of course this distrubituon was only among the school.

But we had a lot of fun,gained money and used English practically.

It was a nice feeling to receive surprise cards from friends with whom we were always together.

This may not work with adult Students but with children it is worth trying I think.

Xmas cards are the best present according to me..

Hope you find the best present for your students Karen.

Hi All,

My two cents worth to this wonderful time of year is bookmarks. In fact I used them on odd accessions as gifts, prizes or just inspirational messages, back in the good old days of smaller and fewer classes. Unfortunately, nowadays I have far too many classes to do things like that. They (the bookmarks) are easy to put together, especially for a talented group such as yourselves and are generally well received. You could visit http://www.janbrett.com for some ideas. If you print them onto name card (business card) card, (which most domestic printers can handle) they last a long time as well.
