I want to get a gift for DS' coaches as a token of our appreciation for their hard work, not least spending their Friday nights in rain/wind/snow with a rabble of over excited children!

I don't know them at all to be honest, there are 3 of them aged between 25-45 I would say.

I was thinking about a bottle of something each but jack Daniels etc is £16 a bottle so not cheap by the time you buy 3. But a box of roses/celebrations feels like a cop out.

I had a look at 3 for 2 gifts (as could then get something more expensive with the saving) eg a Jack Wills hat and toiletries/sock and toiletries gift set but Is this too personal? As I say I don't know then at all unfortunately as I only do pick up and it's such a rush.

What are you getting group leaders/ sport coaches?
Thanks

I'm a sports coach and I've had everything from tubs of sweets, to Amazon vouchers, to homemade cupcakes and cards.

I still have the cards.

WE club together and buy a joint Amazon or John Lewis depending on the particular individual. Our sports coaches don’t drink or eat chocolates which makes gifts hard!

DH usually gets given a bottle of red wine (white wine from those that don't know him so well) he is very appreciative of both.

I'm a sports coach, I get chocolates, wine, gift cards and vouchers - all much appreciated!

We usually just get wine or chocolates. M and S have some good offers on both at the moment.

How about 3 x £5 Costa vouchers? It's nice to get a free coffee and a fiver gets you a coffee and a cake!!!
