Christmas present for CM

[littlefrog]

I know there are other threads about this, but help me anyway!
CM is wonderful, I think goes WAY beyond the call of duty, DS adores her and her family.
Anyway, yesterday was her last day before Christmas, and when she dropped DS off (an example of her going beyond the call of duty) she had had to bring a friend with her because the pushchair was filled with 2 enormous Christmas presents - a wrapped something for DS, which is taller than him, and then a 'hamper' for us with all sorts of boughten goodies in it.
I'm overwhelmed! And I don't know what to do. The main present I've got for her (hasn't arrived yet) is a mug with various pictures of DS on it, and I was going to give her also some home-made cakes and biscuits for her and her family, and a bottle of champagne. I'm now worried that seems really mingy compared with what she's given us - what does anyone think? And if it does, any ideas of what else I can get her?

I think that would be lovely

Presents aren't about how much you spend - they are about how much you thought & I think you thought plenty

Champagne, homemade goodies & a permanent reminder of your DS - what could be better?

Agree with Katymac. Anyway, some things can be big and cheap, it's hard to know but size isn't everything . I'm a CM and would LOVE what you have mentioned so stick with that. I do understand how you must feel as I had the opposite problem last year, one parent spent over £70 and I was thrilled with what I was given but also got upset about what I'd got as I just couldn't afford to match that but like the other CMs on here said last year, it didn't matter what we spent on each other, that's not what it's all about.

Oh good. that's what I think too, but it's so hard to know what Christmas means to other people. It's lovely to give presents that the recipient will be really pleased with, and if you think she will be happy with what I've got planned, then that's great!
