Mugs are waiting

It was the night before teachers day,
We got all the stuff ready , of course we didnot know what to give but sure we need to give a smal souvenir present that is nice, usable , and cheap , we cannot afford to give ten teachers ten expensive presents so  we checked what we could afford around 50 dollars plus or minus , 
Tomorrow is teachers day and every year my son would take something to his teachers , he likes to give gifts . It runs in thefamily, i guess . whenever we visit we usually take something to whoever we are visiting even if there is no occasion ,in case we were stuck not knowing what to take along ,  two one liter juice bottles would do . "Giving leads to loving "' as we learned from our prohet mohammed pbuh , that gift giving is a great way to love each other , it means thinking , it does not  necessarily have to  be an expensive gift .my sister told me she got a nice gift , you can. Offer like it , that sounded fine because we really didnot know what to give . One year we gave each a hand towel and a Dove soap bar. Another year we gave a picture frame with a nice quote in it , and once we gave  a small nice flower pot and the flowers were colorful dusting washclothes . This year we needed some new ideas, the teachers expect something useful and practical from me .   That was a nicechoice ! we went to wholsale stores and chose the mugs , nice better quality than those one dollar mugs ,and then to the candy wholsale store ,we got the nescafe one cup envelopes , and a Hershey chocolate box and a Galaxy flute box , then we ordered a panadol box and May hurried to the stationary shop by the house she got red pens . 
Now all ready , in each mug we put a candy bar  of each kind, a red pen , a nescafe ,onemug size envelop , and half the panadol paper , a twelve count paper , then we  wrote for each  teacher two special rhyming lines and happy teachers day , from mjitani . At last came the wrapping , then we arranged them on the desk ready for the next day , we looked at them just like men  in a row waiting to do their chores , they have to wait one whole night on the desk before leaving ...
Still wondering about contents , well well nescafe for the teacher to be awake and up , chocolate to give her energy , panadol to ease her headache and of course the red pen to correct those nasty papers , and of course the MUG .
