It’s almost the end of the school year here in the UK and we all know the dread of having to find something suitable for a teacher’s gift. Will they like it? Will they use it? Should I buy from a small business? Do I give a generic present that they receive every year?
To help you make a decision, we have compiled a short list of South African businesses that are based in the UK that make all sorts of items that all teachers would love.
