When does the first term of 1448 end? End of term gift ideas
The first term of 1448 ends on Thursday 7 January 2027, which is 29 Rajab, and in Riyadh the last school day is Wednesday 6 January because 7 January is an extra holiday in Riyadh. The mid-year break then runs from Friday 8 January to Saturday 16 January. The end of term has three moments for a gift. A thank-you to the teacher from the whole class or from the child, a treat for the class on the last day and a success gift at home after the results.
A thank-you gift for the teacher at the end of term
The last day of term is a chance for your son or daughter to thank the teacher for a whole term. A small bouquet or a vase in calm colours for her desk is enough, with a card the child writes by hand. For more ideas for teachers, see Teachers' Day gift ideas.
A gift from the whole class, shared by the mothers
If the class mothers agree in the WhatsApp group, one big gift beats ten small ones, such as a large flower arrangement or flowers with chocolate. Let one of you order while the others share the cost, and put the students' names or the class name on the card. Unsure of the teacher's taste? Pick several gifts and she chooses one.
A sweet treat for the class on the last day
The last day before the break is sweeter with a big box of chocolate or a cake cut for the whole class and the teacher. To be honest, we do not sell small individually wrapped giveaways for each student, only boxes and cakes made for sharing.
If you want it delivered to the school, agree with the teacher first and enter her number, and she sets the place and the time from the link. See chocolate and sweets and cakes.
A success gift for your son or daughter after the results
When the first-term results come out, celebrate at home with balloons in the letters of the child's name or in their favourite colour, and a cake to cut with the family. If the gift is from a grandmother or an aunt, it reaches the child's home in Riyadh and Jeddah by the mother's or father's number, and they set the time. For more ideas, see success gift ideas for children.
A gift for the teacher during the break
Missed the last day? Send her flowers with chocolate at home during the break, even if you do not know her address. You enter her mobile number only, and she gets a WhatsApp link to set the place and the time that suit her in Riyadh and Jeddah. The steps are explained in send a gift without an address.
Before you send
- Order the last-day gift a day or two before, so the recipient has time to set the place and the time from the link.
- If the gift is going to the school, the recipient sets the time from the link so it arrives in a slot that suits their working day.
- If the class mothers are chipping in for the teacher, agree on the amount and the gift early and let one person order in everyone's name.
- In Riyadh the last school day is Wednesday 6 January, not Thursday, so plan your order around that day.
- Unsure of the teacher's taste? Pick several gifts at one level and she chooses one without seeing the prices.
