Brownie leaders

Fantastic leaders: one single mum to a 5yo boy (who attends every week), one with ongoing health issues- no kids and one young leader. So all doing it just to be kind. Never even want volunteer support. Girls have a riot and do tonnes of fab stuff.
The leaders eat sandwiches together before the session. In the summer I did a bit of a thank you hamper for them so they could snack on nicer stuff. Don't really know them well enough to give anything other than generic. Any ideas? Thank you!

Is there a local restaurant you could get vouchers for? I say local, so that if they don't all live in the area, they could have a quick meal after Brownies one night?

It's lovely you noticed they had their sandwiches, so bought something to do with that!

I wondered that but I think child care and illness means that they can't easily fit withmeals out. I did think about maybe some Costa/Nero vouchers as brownie church hall is is reasonably close to the chains. That might work, mightn't it?

Yes, and possibly easier for them each to use than trying to organise something joint.

I'm a volunteer in scouting and any card or gift means a lot to me. It's a tough slog sometimes and lovely when someone says thank you.

A box of biscuits might work well. They always cheer up a long planning meeting.

Fair play to you. I was, briefly, a rainbow leader abroad and it was hard. Hence why I keep asking if they want volunteers but they are so cheerful and a tight unit of leaders and don't want any help. I wondered about biscuit overkill but will investigate. They do have a church kitchen so maybe some nice hot chocolate or something as well.
But am veering towards Costa cards just because I am always thrilled if I can get a fancy coffee when out (I know it is essentially a caffeinated milk shake, but still...).
