Present ideas needed for departing headteacher

I chair the Parent Council at my son's school, and so am coordinating efforts to sort out a leaving gift for the Acting Head, who's about to leave. She's not been at the school long (started in Nov), but has had a very difficult job, as the school has had a number of problems, and part of her remit was to begin the process of sorting them out.

Anyway, she's done a great job, and I want to show parents' appreciation with a nice gift. So, any brilliant ideas?

If online, it will need to be something that can be delivered within a week.

At present I don't have a clear idea of budget, because we've only just asked for donations, but I'm working on the assumption that it'll be somewhere in the region of £50 - £80.

ETA she's in her 30s.

    Bearing in mind the relative shortness of her time with you and the size of the budget, I'd go for flowers and champagne.

    Unless you know of any specific interest she has ?

    Primary or secondary school?

    (There's a reason I'm asking!)

    Our head got gardening tools and garden centre vouchers when she left, but that was because we knew it was a big interest of hers.
    If you don't know her that well, stick to something safe like P&P suggested.

    It's Primary AmandaPanda.

    As far as particular interests go, I really couldn't say, so you're probably right about sticking to something safe.

    I'll ask around the staff though, find out if they know about any particular interests she has.

    If she's a primary teacher, you can get personalised copies of the Allbherg (sp?) book "Please Mrs Butler", so "Please Miss Bloggs" or whatever. My sister is a primary teacher & was given one as part of a leaving gift from her old school.

    Like the apple tree idea too, & some nice champagne (with flutes if £ allows) could be added to it to make a decent gift.
