Holiday gifts teachers say they absolutely do not want

These stocking stuffers could land you in detention.
A former teacher has revealed the three so-called presents no educators want to receive during the holidays.
“If you’ve been in the classroom long enough you will have gotten one of these ‘gifts’ that’s not quite the blessing you hoped for,” content creator Natalie captioned a caustic social post that’s resurfaced just in time for the festive season.
For starters, she advised against anything from Victoria’s Secret — yes, even the lotion or perfume.
“I don’t care that you didn’t get them underwear,” she quipped. “That lotion smells bad and now you have a Victoria’ Secret bag on your desk. It’s just awkward.”
Next up, don’t even think about doing “an unannounced giant treat for the entire class” — fun for the kids, but a nightmare for teachers.
They are forced to deal with the aftermath of their young students hopped up on sugar and the subsequent crash.
“Listen, it’s cool that you want to get everybody donuts, but you need to ask ahead when and if the teacher is OK with that,” Natalie explained.
“It’s just way too much sugar, especially for the little guys.”
Lastly, teachers “don’t want your advances.”
“I’ve had a few dads try to come onto me over the years and it is uncomfortable,” she said.
“Remember, you’ve got the entire school year to work together — maybe just go online and find someone,” she suggested.
While Natalie’s informational clip was meant to be helpful to parents, viewers were divided over whether she was “reasonable” or “snotty” and “ungrateful.”
“Or, just say thank you and show some gratitude,” snarked one person.
“Maybe I just get them nothing then lol,” joked another.
“I’m so glad I stopped buying teachers gifts a long time ago,” one critic wrote.
“I’m a teacher and I’m grateful for any gift a student brings me,” someone else chimed in.
In fact, some school workers said they have previously received fragrances from Victoria’s Secret, calling it the “best gift.”
“I think you should just be grateful for whatever someone gifts you from their heart,” one user said. “I’m a former teacher and felt blessed to be thought of regardless of it I would have picked it.”
Others, however, were in agreement with Natalie.
“Parents need to ask first,” one person wrote, referencing the sugary treats and noting that teachers must be mindful of food allergies. “You cant just bring in anything without them knowing.”
“These reasons are all reasonable. getting perfume and sugar high kids = migraines for the rest of the day. Getting hit on by kids’ parents? Gross,” commented someone else.
