  • I vote gift card to Target or someplace similar.  Visa gift cards are a huge pain - service fees, and half the time they don't work right anyway. You can never go wrong with a  Target gift card.

  • I'll be following this post. I didn't vote because I have no idea what to get A's nanny either! @Hg45‌, you live in NYC too - everyone I ask tells me the standard gift for a nanny is ONE WEEKS PAY. Um that's a huge gift! I'm looking for something a little more reasonable.

    Ha ha true, that's what my friends tell me as well- but lets be clear- this gift is in addition to the yearly bonus we will be gving her. I don't think I will be doing a weeks pay as she has been part time and only started in September, but will probably do something like 50% of weeks pay- plus a gift.

    Same here - she's only been with us a few months. I was thinking giving a yearly bonus (50% of pay sounds reasonable) plus a gift from A.
