For the teacher in July: a gift that isn't another candle
Updated 13 May 2026
At the end of the school year, the teacher walks home with fifteen chocolates, ten candles and three mugs. A personalised coloring book stands out because it comes from the kids themselves. Their portraits, school trips, the summer show, all turned into pages to colour. She can show it to her family or colour it over the summer. When several parents chip in, it works very well as a collective class gift.
A few examples that work for this case
The class photo of the year: each child colours their face, and the teacher keeps the book.
The standout outings of the year: museums, school trips, the summer fair.
Our tip for a class gift
Ask the class families for their best photos of the year (museum trip, school show, class photo). Stick to one face per child to respect image rights. Get written parental consent before starting. The 24-photo format gives you one photo per child for a class of 20 to 24, plus a few group shots.

Frequently asked questions
How do we handle pupils' image rights?
Get written consent from each child's parents. Ideally, circulate a sheet at the start of the project. If you don't have consent for a child, leave them out.
What's the deadline for delivery before the school year ends?
Summer holidays usually start around 5 July. Order before 13 June for a comfortable delivery, and gather photos two weeks earlier.
Can we give the same album to several teachers?
Yes. Each order produces one album. If a teacher covers two year groups, she can get a single album mixing both classes, or one album per group.
