What do you give the lovely lady who does your cleaning?

[MrsKingfisher]

The lady who comes to us is worth her weight in gold, she is fabulous.

What gift is nice and appropriate? Not a tub of Hero's or quality street!

Ours is self-employed. We give her a week’s wages extra.

I can assure you OP that you're cleaner is most likely on minimum wage if she's employed by an agency. I also would not be surprised at all if they have engineered a situation whereby she is not paid for want time off such as Christmas either.

Mine usually gets 30 per week. This is my first year having her but I was going to give her a voucher for 50 plus a Christmas candle set from the kids who absolutely love her. (She even bought my ds a birthday present of something he actually loves).

I'm sorry - you pay £75 a week for two hours of cleaning?!?!

That's insane! Even in London we pay £30 for two hours!

Nothing as I do my own cleaning but wow, some of you are very very generous
