Its my daughters last day at my childminders tomorrow before school in Sept. I'd like to get my childminder a gift. BUT not chocolate (she is on a special diet), probably not a plant (but open to suggestions), and probably avoiding smellies as she has excema.
Help budget about £50.

Agree what about a yankee candle? Or maybe a spa day / massage?

Thank you for being one of those lovely mum's who gives her chilminder a parting gift, they really are appreciated and make's us childminders feel appreciated to.

I always buy my minded kids a birthday and christmas pressie, and it so nice to receive an end of contract one back.

Your childminder is a lucky lady.

I would like to echo what pesto has said. Its always lovely to be appreciated. One of my best presents was a lovely handmade card from a minded child. I liked the M&S voucher inside but treasured the card!
