Gift Ideas?

in Adoption
We're foster parents. The younger child in our home was a preemie and wasn't able to go to daycare when I went back to work in August. We almost had to send the kids to a new placement. Another foster parent stepped forward and has been watching her during the day. She's been great (other then a few differences of opinions due to her being a little "old school.") She gets paid by the county, but it's not a lot and she's been really great if we need to drop off early or pick up late. Baby starts daycare March 4th and I want to get this woman a gift to thank her. We're hoping we might get a chance to adopt these kids (but that changes monthly 
and we're glad they were able to stay with us for now. A little about her: She has 3 of her kids living with her (2 with special needs), 2 grown kids, and 2 foster kids placed with her currently. She is married. She's probably in her late 50's. She's a no-frills kind of person. Anyone have any gift ideas?

Re: Gift Ideas?
TTC since May 2006. After 3 failed Clomid cycles, 2 failed Injectibles/IUIs, 2 failed IVFs and 1 failed FET, we moved on to adoption!
Last ditch FET resulted in BFP, and identical twin girls!
My MIL is so no frills I can't ever tell you.
But! My FIL loves for her to wear jewelry. If not for that, I honestly think we'd get her gift cards to the grocery store.
Application approved Dec '11
