Present ideas for lovely CM

Hello all,

My DS (3) has been going to a lovely CM since last October. He will be stopping in September, as I will be going on maternity leave, and he will be starting pre-school, which she doesn't pick up from. It works out well for her too as she has a new person wanting to start in September. So the ending is very friendly and we are both a bit sad that is is approaching!

I'd like to buy her a really nice present to thank her - but am so stuck for ideas - she isn't really "into" anything in particular, ie hobbies - she is doing WW, and trying really hard to lose weight so am not sure about anything edible - and I am conscious that, as a CM for 10 years she has probably been bought lots of presents by various mindees and might not want any more clutter!

Any suggestions at all would be hugely welcome - I don't want to leave this to the last minute and panic buy!!!

What about an M&S voucher and a nice bunch of flowers? That way, she can buy herself something nice that she really wants. I got DD's CM a voucher for Christmas and she seemed pleased.

Good idea - thanks. I was trying to think of vouchers for specific things (eg beauty treatments) but I really don't know what she would like! So perhaps just one she can spend would be best!
