Present for leaving nanny

[maxandru]

Hi all

Our lovely nanny will be leaving us at the end of next week as my twins are going to nursery full time in September. She’s been with us 5 years (since my eldest was 9 months).

id like to get her a leaving gift but short on ideas. I would like to avoid gift vouchers because she’ll be getting quite a sizeable redundancy payment anyway and putting money/vouchers in an envelope feels a bit awkward.

Has anyone got any ideas please ? Flexible on budget. I’ll obvs get her some nice flowers and a card too.

Lovely photo frame with a photo of the kids?

Afternoon tea /with bubbly/spa day etc for 2 so can take a friend

It's difficult because we don't know her. And everyone is different. Piece of jewellry / earrings would be my go to but not for everyone.

I wouldn't give a photo of the kids. I'm sure she loves them but just no. Jewellery is a good idea, a necklace perhaps if she wears them. A permanent keepsake.

Good point.

she likes cooking & eating, hiking and nature. She’s not super girly. She is mid 50s and married with 2 grown up step kids .

A decent day pack for hiking!

I'd go with this.

Thanks all, we went for a voucher to a nice restaurant !
