WITH many schools set to break up for Christmas tomorrow, if you’re yet to get your little one’s teacher a gift, you’ve come to the right place.
Knowing what to buy a teacher at Christmas is often a challenge for many parents, but luckily for you, B&M have just the thing.
And don’t worry if the cost of living crisis has meant that your purse feels tighter than ever before, as these bargain buys will set you back just 50p – yes, you heard that correctly.
It comes after one savvy shopper took to social media to share her latest B&M find, leaving many open-mouthed.
Posting on BARGAIN LOVERS Poundland, Home Bargains, B&M, Primark, The Range & More, a public Facebook group with 638,900 members, Anita Armstrong posted a picture of the adorable Christmas cookies, which you can buy in B&M stores.
Alongside the snap, she penned: “Cute little Christmas gifts for the teachers for 50p.”

The sweet iced shortbread cookies not only look adorable, but are incredibly purse-friendly too.
There’s four different festive designs to choose from – a Christmas tree, gingerbread man, snowman and Father Christmas.
They’ll be perfect for giving to teachers this Christmas and are just 75p each.
However, if you’ve got multiple teachers to buy for, you’ll be thrilled to know that they are also two for £1, making them just 50p each, saving you 25p a cookie.
Not only are they perfect for teachers, but they’re also sure to leave your little ones smiling if you put one in their stocking or Christmas Eve box.
Many mums were left stunned by the cheap cookies and quickly flocked to the comments to express this.
One person said: “Just bought some.”
Another added: “Look so cute.”
How to save money at B&M
Shoppers have saved hundreds of pounds a year by using B&M’s scanner app.
The scanner lets you see if an item’s price is cheaper than advertised on the shop floor label.
Products that are typically discounted are seasonal items and old stock that B&M is trying to shift.
The app is free to download off the B&M Stores mobile app via Google Play or the Apple App Store.
According to one ex-B&M manager, you’ll want to visit your local branch at 10am on a Wednesday too.
Here’s how you can join the B&M bargain hunt:
- Download the B&M app for free on any smartphone with an App Store or Google Play.
- Once you’ve installed it on your device, click on the option labelled “more” on the bottom, right-hand side of the app home page.
- You’ll then find an option that says “barcode scanner”. Click on this and you’ll open a camera screen.
- Use the camera to hover over the barcode of the product you wish to check.
- If the price comes up as lower, take it to the cash desk and it will automatically scan at the lower price.
- You don’t need to sign up to the B&M app to use the barcode scanner.
A third commented: “Good for stockings, Christmas Eve boxes etc, how cute.”
Whilst one parent tagged a loved one and asked: “If you see these, can you get me two of each.”
However, not everyone was as keen on the taste of the festive finds.
One foodie claimed: “They’re cute and cheap but definitely don’t taste great.”
A second chimed in: “These are harder than a brick.”
Meanwhile, someone else slammed: “Cute but absolutely vile.”
