I know it's early but......

What do you do about Christmas presents for your mindees. I have already decided that I will get them all a little something maybe to value of £5, I know it doesn't sound much money but when you times it by all the mindees it soon adds up! My biggest question is what do you put on the gift tag? Do you sign it from just yourself of from your dh and dc as well? I am really confused and it is my first Christmas as a cm so don't want to get it wrong so to speak. Sorry for asking so early but I am really busy in December with extra evening work for extra Christmas pennies so like to get everything done before I start that. TIA

Last year ds' cm bought him a small present and he loved it BECAUSE it was from her. I think I would be quite hurt if his cm didn't get him a small token present because she is part of ds' family.

I have bought her some virgin vie goodies from me and dp, and then a little present from ds (probably hand made).

I am also a teacher, so I have to think what I can get my 30 children - which doesn't cost much either. Any ideas?

We do get presents

Year before last I got a huge number (17?23? not sure) of boxes of chocs/biscuits - last year it was much better only 10 or so

I want to be your childminder Summerfruit - I love monsoon (umm if each child gave me £2 of vouchers I might have enough for.........)

Hmmm I can't ask thou'
