scottiedog Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Hi, I am struggling to think of a Christmas present for my granddaughter's childminder. Any ideas? What has been the best present you ever received? Scottiedog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 (edited) It's hard to suggest without knowing her, but I received a really nice pen and notebook from one of the Mums. A really pretty necklace from Next. I also got a really lovely hamper of gluten free goodies. I got a lovely knitting wool holder from Sally Walkinshaw Ceramics. (I think she's called) All really lovely, but as I say, I don't really know what kind of things you are looking for. Does she have any interesting hobbies and interests? https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/TheHappyBirder Edited December 9, 2014 by Cait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigzag Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Many, many years ago when I worked in a day nursery, I was given a frammed painting of myself that a four year old child had done. It was such a special and personal present. In fact my son did one for his reception teacher when he was in school. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnyday Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 We use 'wow vouchers' - sometime ago one of my mums had a super sparkly wow on canvas made for me it read "to Xxxxx for having the pre-school in the world" - just lovely :1b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 We had a school leaver who made us a framed scrabble board with letters glued on like a game in progress, and all the words were words that the child and mum associated with nursery.

Oh yes I've had similar - it was my name + pre-school teacher and a word for each letter printed on a rather lovely bag........I laughed because there is a 'y' in my name and the word she had chosen was 'youthful' - I'm 103 so that was a bit of a stretch :rolleyes: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
