Present Idea for Cleaner

[tadpole73]

Hi

Any ideas what I can get my cleaner. Wanted to get something other than the generic wine/candles/cookbooks. She basically works and looks after her family.

What's the budget?

Some really nice soap and hand cream?

For my invaluable, incredible cleaner i usually got a nice bottle of wine or Baileys (check she is a drinker first), box of Hotel Chocolat, and then gave her an extra week's pay.

I give 2 weeks in cash as a thank you bonus and some nice chocolates. I think the extra cash is much appreciated

Cash and some wine.

I give 2 weeks cash and chocolates. If it was me I’d want the cash.

Cash.

Cash here too. Maybe a token present like a nice box of biscuits but I'd want cash if it was me.

Cleaner here!!
Well received Christmas gifts include.
Laura Ashley chicken egg house (chicken lover).
Laura Ashley cup and tray set(coffee lover).
Posh woolly hat /scarf(ddog walker).
Posh fluffy socks pack (well received as dc steal mine!).
Posh toiletries.
Posh biscuits.
All my customers know me well!

Cleaner here,
I gratefully receive mostly wine, a couple give me vouchers, one gifts Jo Malone stuff, last year one paid double and a gift. I'd say the vouchers are the most welcome. As an aside, my "richest" client gives me nothing as well as cancelling over Christmas! But I'm not bitter honest!

Extra 2 weeks pay in a card expressing appreciation and a nice box of biscuits

Thanks everyone. Cash is obviously acceptable these days and a small gift

We give a £50 M&S voucher. I know she uses it to buy dinner and champagne for Hogmanay every year.

I usually give Jo Malone goodies to mine. Looking for new ideas this year.

She might really enjoy receiving them. I just got the school teachers a JM cracker each.

Box of Hotel Chocolat and £100 cash from us! :)

I love these threads, the amounts gradually get bigger and bigger until the recipient is gifted two weeks all inclusive in the Maldives and a gold Amex card.

I think you need to know your cleaner pretty well to know whether they'd appreciate Jo Malone as a luxurious treat, or whether they would prefer the equivalent amount of cash to make their Christmas/NYE more special.

I know someone who cleans because she enjoys it, works only for a few people, doesn't really need the money. Another I know is really strapped for cash as several clients suspended her services when they were working from home, and is wondering how she is going to make Christmas happen this year for her little boy. I doubt she would appreciate an expensive luxury.

Yeah, I've always gone along the lines of getting her something luxurious that she probably wouldn't justify buying herself. And as I travel a lot, can pick loads up from duty free for her and my sisters. However, just thought she might be bored of it by now so I'm collecting all your ideas.

We give our cleaner a bottle of champagne and cash - I can't remember how much, either a weeks wages or £100.
