Present for mother to whom I owe loads of favours - what do you think?

[stealthsquiggle]

Since I went back to work the mother of one of DS's classmates has done me untold favours - having DS to play/tea, taking him to after school activities / parties, etc. I did offer to pay her as she has been having DS after school once a week, but she refused. Since I am really not in a position to return the childcare favours in kind, I want to buy her some sort of Thank you present at the end of term - any ideas?

How about some vouchers from a local restaurant for a night out, with babysitting thrown in?

Spa day/treatment voucher?

what about taking her kid on a saturday/weekend for day to play at yours or small outing?

washersauras..like it just saw yours!

Favourite perfume or for a nice treat, splash out on the body creme/shower lotion of her favourite perfume.

I had a set of Cinema by YSL and its lovely using the shower gel and body lotion as a treat and something I would never buy otherwise

Bouquet of flowers or favourite drink

Thanks for all the ideas. I think Washersaurus may have the trump card there - even if I am working I could have her DS over for the evening and to sleep over in the holidays.

..now to find a suitable restaurant which does vouchers....

I can't really take the credit though; some of our friends & family have done this for us in the past for xmas presents etc - DH and I always really appreciate it.
