ok I know its a BIT early but..

what are u ladies planning on as gifts to your caregivers???

I like to get my holiday shopping done early!

In Julianne's daycare, there are 2 ladies in the morning...and 3 students in the afternoon....so things can start adding up!

Okay well in Geno's school he has one teacher all day,
But if she's out one of the other teachers fill in.
As well as the director.

Re: ok I know its a BIT early but..

Re: ok I know its a BIT early but..

As a director of a day care I can tell you that the prefered gift for caregivers is cash or gift certificates. If you don't want to go that route then Bath and Body works stuff is appreciated as well. Hope you don't mind that I jumped on your thread

Edited to add that I agree about just getting for your child's main caregiver. If you want to show appreciation for others you can give cookies or candies for everyone else. We love that at my center

I would never give cash to an adult though. I would give a nice gift certificate though. I am sure they get tons of those 'Best Teacher' type mugs so I would avoid those.

As a teacher, I can tell you my favorite gifts were, Gift certificates to, get my nails done, Borders, picture frames are always nice, can never have too many, GC to yankee candle and bath and body works stuff.

I was going to say candles as well. It seems so simple and yet - who doesn't love a nice scented candle next to their bed.

Another nice thing is the manicure. A lot of places it only costs around $10....such a great way to be a little pampered!

Re: ok I know its a BIT early but..

hmm..ok maybe i will get the two main ones an AMEX gift check. I dont want to pick up a gift cert since I dont know the places they like to go to...and for the afternoon girls...maybe a votive candle and a purse size hand lotion or spritzer from bath/body works
