I'm 14 and my streetdance instructor Sally (23) has been teaching me for about a year. I'd like to buy her some-thing nice so that she would understand that I appreciate her being my teacher and a nice little some-thing to say thank-you but at the same time we obviously arn't exactly friends and we don't know much about each other so I don't want to embarrass her by overdoing it with my generosity - I was going to give her a 10 pounds gift voucher to the body shop but my dad said that wasn't appropriate as I'm so young and it would embarrass her - has anyone any 'appropriate' gift ideas with my age in mind?

A nice scarf.
Or go to the body shop yourself and pick a nice assortment.

I too am a 23 year old dance instructor and I don't see how I gift card to the body shop could be embarrassing or inappropriate. It sounds like a great idea to me. Or perhaps a gift card to a spa so she can get a manicure/pedicure. Gift cards are always excellent for teachers.

I think the voucher is an EXCELLENT gift! It's not too expensive and you're showing that you know she cares for her appearance. If you're still not convinced, make her a personalized Christmas card (use some of the items from scrapbooking sections to decorate the card). The personalization will give it a personal feel. It's great that you want to show your appreciation!
Good luck!

Good gifts to people who are not your close family are something they'd never buy for themselves yet would like to receive. Something that doesn't turn into closet clutter once Christmas is over. I'd say, buy something that you could buy with your allowance. I can't imagine you have a regular job being 14. If you have to ask your parents for extra money it is your parents making the gift not you. A chocolate figure (bunny, bear, whatever Christmas thing) seems like a nice token of appreciation.

bypass each and all of the dance correct stuff. I also have a chum that teaches dance additionally and shes so ill of having stuff like that. present playing cards are constantly maximum suitable, do not difficulty approximately what your dad thinks, she's 23 and that i'm advantageous likes tub type shops! in the different case a recent card to a properly-liked clothing save, or eating place would be very staggering additionally. a powerful smelling candle is powerful too!

candles or stuff from Bath and Body Works or The Body Shop. Maybe even a gift card to a really trendy place like the Gap or H&M.

You should get her a card that sings, or make her a coloage she would probably appreciate that. Dont worry about over doing that or embarrassing her, she would probably enjoy what ever you get her, you'll probably be the only person that will get her a give anyways, maybe even a gift card somewhere

I think your idea is great women love to buy things for themselves. I am an instructor and have gotten gift cards to places like that and for dinners out. Good luck, I am sure you will do great!
