Childminder gift (for her or her family)

I’m stuck this year.

Have got her DD sylvanian families but I always get her and her husband something. Last year a home made hamper of treats, year before 6 bottles of nice wine.

What can I get this year?

Cream tea voucher crossed my mind but they have such hectic weekends, I fear they won’t book it and it’ll go to waste.

Cinema voucher, so all the family can have a treat?

I just came on to post the same question, but must admit was thinking something a bit smaller than a case of wine! I was thinking of a tin of biscuits, nice ones in a Christmassy tin, but I’m worried that’s a bit, well, crap.

Food gifts from a nice shop? I'm planning a trip to Carluccios to get a few items as gifts.

Thank you everyone

That planter is beautiful. I would definitly love that.

And I like the idea of cinema tickets for the family.

Chocolates are a bit of a downgrade from previous years so wanted to spend about £30/£35, we don't tend to do end of term (summer) gift so I clump it together at Christmas.

Just a quick update, following @Ricekrispie22 ‘s suggestion, I went with this from M&S:

It’s lush and comes with lights and everything Smile

Our CM is getting a really nice travel mug supposed to be so spill proof that it could go in a bag full and not leak. With £20 Costa voucher. Dd1 &2 Have also made tree decorations & cards. Her daughter has a box set of rainbow fairy books on the way
