It is that time of year when we need to start making the all important list. I must admit I do struggle a bit with teachers gifts. I want to be original and make sure it is something they will like and not want to throw back at me, like the 20th box of Roses chocolates. I am sure 20 bottles of wines would be great for the holidays but a bit boring and perhaps they don't drink. I have compiled a list of awesome teacher gifts under $15 that will be available at Piccadilly Market on 1 December.

2. Bellalu Lip Balms are homemade in Geelong and come in 11 mouth watering flavours. Each balm is presented in a hand-crafted box with gift tag making it the perfect gift for that someone special.
