A teacher has told of her "heartbreak" at wanting to return a £75 gift from her pupils because she is struggling to pay her bills.
She was presented with a food hamper from Marks & Spencer but allergies mean she can only eat a single jar of jam inside it.
And the educator told of her guilt at wanting to ask parents for a receipt to exchange the end-of-term present so she can buy other groceries instead.
The teacher asked for help with the dilemma on the Am I Being Unreasonable? (AIBU) section on Mumsnet.
She wrote: “I am a reception teacher and my class very kindly gifted me a hamper at the end of the year. It is an M&S hamper worth £75, so very expensive.
“It has six items inside. One of the items is a half bottle of wine, which I don’t drink for religious reasons. Four of the other five are things with nuts, which I am allergic to and the remaining item I can make use of is a jar of jam.
“I am struggling a lot for money at the moment and would really like to swap the hamper in exchange for vouchers where I can buy food. I don’t want to seem ungrateful though, and it would mean asking a parent who organised this gift for the receipt in order to return it.
“I tried to see if I could take it in without one and was refused. But the thought of having a £75 jar of jam actually breaks my heart, what would you do? AIBU to consider asking for a receipt?”
Mumsnet users offered the teacher a mixed reaction on the site.
One said: “I think you should take the organising parent to one side, thank her profusely but explain that while it was very kind and generous you are allergic to lots of the contents so you’d like to exchange as you don’t want to waste it.”
Another user wrote: “I’d ask for the receipt and explain exactly what you’ve said
