What have you bought for nursey staff

[dueinnovember]

Need to buy some presents for nursey staff. What have you MN's bought? Used to be easier when they had key workers but now they don't will have to get quite a few presents. Especially because DD1 is in with the big children and DS2 is in the baby room. Either that or it's the big box of chocolates option? Any ideas?

Bottle of wine each.

nothing

although, we are going to be making igngerbread tomorrow so might take some in for them

I gave the teacher and the assistant teacher a gift voucher to a book store and a craft store respectively. I thought they might be innundated with chocolates, pointsettias and mugs.

The wine sounds like a very good idea as it keeps, so even if they don't use it at Christmas they can enjoy it later in the year.

We're giving John Lewis vouchers to key workers and wine to others.

I'm rather proud this year have made snowman soup for them and attached a small bottle bubble bath for the key workers.
about half way down this page
We made them for my eldest daughters friends as well

I didn't realise we were supposed to get anything! we can barely buy gifts for each other.

i work in a nursery and a simple "thankyou for all your hard work" is the most appreciated crimbo pressie

bottle of fizz (jacob's creek pink stuff) for key worker and boxes of Waitrose luxury mince pies for the 8 other ladies who work in DDs room or the office. Nothing spectacular but I'm sure they get plenty of chocs and at least this way they can take something home and they feel appreciated (I hope!).

love the snowman soup. we made fudge here.

lindt chocolate in shape of a bell for teacher, which i am very pleased about as school is oldfashioned type which does have a proper bell
some truffles for TA

am always scared of dc's dropping wine - pretty certain that would happen.

My dd1 has 4 "teachers". One is a teacher,one is the nursery manager and 2 are nursery nurses.

I got each one a round body brush from the Body Shop and a box of Lindor chocs.

They have been soooo wonderful with my dd1 that i wanted to give them something at Xmas.

Baked ours two big bags of chocolate orange biscotti today. DD helped

We bought M&S socks, pack of 3 pairs for £3. Lovely colours and patterns to choose from, present looks nice but is easy to wrap and we all wear socks at sometime don't we?

i got my childs teacher and classroom assitants as follows

teacher: plaque&homemade fudge from lovely shop

assitant lancome juicy tube she is young so would like it

other assitant a foot pack out of debenhams, as they stand all day

very important as they r special needs teachers and i like to thank them

Lush bathbomb each.

belgian chocolates for all,gift bag for keyworker with chocs and lancome juicy fruit

Body shop. They can regift it if they want.

Yorkiegal what's snowman soup? From the photos it looks like you are definately a domestic goddess of some sort but am slightly confused. Like the idea of the Jacobs Creek pink fizz and lush bath bombs. Am very impressed by all the homemade stuff going on but think I'll go to the shops instead now you've given me some good ideas.

I made some biscuits which DS (19 months) 'decorated'. They looked blimmin' awful but it's the thought that counts. Right?

i got dd's 3 teachers [playschool] a gold star bath melt from lush.smells gorgeous.

I got the gold stars from Lush too Mrstlj! Great minds Love the snowman soup idea tho (must remember 4 next year!)

Lottery ticket in each of their christmas cards and a mag subscription for the whole nursery as it were.

Crikey - I feel bad here. how much in vouchers are you all giving?

I have got a 15 pound asda gift card and boxes of chocs from woolworths closing down sale.

Am sure that sounds worse than it is.

I went with the boring old chocolates , but liking lots of the suggestions on here, will file 'em away for next year!

In our work, if people bring in wine, the boss takes it (even though he is teetotal, the meanie )
