Gift for someone you dont actually know

[Herbisaurous]

Help please!

I have a child with a disability. He has a PA who supports him access some activities who has been absolutely bloody wonderful. I'd like to get her a little something at Christmas (much like I do with his teacher, our dog walker etc.) but I don't know what, because I don't actually know her.

What I do know is that she swims a lot, because that's come up in conversation briefly where she asked me about hair products because we have similar hair.

Any suggestions please? I'm always wary with food/drink because I'm often on the recieving end of things like lovely chocolates or alcohol that I can't eat/drink. All I'm really coming up with (off the back of the swimming hair/skincare convo we had) is bodyshop vouchers so she can choose something herself and that feels like a safe bet, vegan friendly etc. But is that a cop out? Budget probably up to about £30

All suggestions welcome! Thank you.

Ultraswim shampoo and conditioner. It’s quite expensive. As a swimmer I would appreciate this!

I don't want her to think I'm suggesting she has hygiene issues 🫣

What about a nice cosmetic/wash bag that she could use when going swimming?

I always appreciate nice ones as it’s something I feel guilty spending lots on for myself. I love the Carrie Elizabeth ones. Maybe just over budget but they usually do a great Black Friday offer ☺️

I would be happy with a body shop voucher. Not a cop out at all and it’s a nice amount. It’s hard to buy for people you don’t know.

L'Occitane shower gel and handcream. That would not imply hygiene issues.

I get gifts for some of the vet staff and L'Occitane gift sets always go down well. The almond shower oil is lovely

Deffo go for a voucher - teacher here and I appreciate everything I am gifted but so much of it is regifted on - would love a voucher!

Body shop probably do Christmas toiletry sets at thus time of year. Could you get her one of those?

If she is into swimming a hair wrap towel might be a useful thought. to add to the hair products.

Either a Costa or starbucks voucher whatever is local to you. Or i think chocolate is always a good go to, I know you said you can't eat it but 99% of people can

Go for a voucher, she can get something she actually likes. What about Boots or M & S. A £30 voucher is generous.

You’re not buying her deodorant- why would she?

I think a voucher would be best as you don’t actually know much about her. And a note to say how much you appreciate what she does.
