Gift for sitter

in July 2011 Moms

G goes to a sitter for two full days per week and the sitter doesn't watch any other kids (besides her own 6 yo who is in school most of the day). We really love her, and I want to get her something nice for the holidays.

Her family doesn't have a lot of money, and last year I just gave her a gift card since we'd only been using her for about a month before xmas. I want to get her something more thoughtful for just her....but my friends are telling me it might be too weird. Last year she commented that she liked my Uggs, and she has a beat-up pair of cheapies that it looks like she wears a ton. Would it be weird to get her a pair of Uggs, or should I give her the $$ instead? Any other ideas?

Thanks!

    When I say that I like something or mention something, its always awesome that I get it. Makes me feel like people listen. I think an ugg gift card would be very very thoughtful.

    I don't think it would be weird to get her Uggs. I think it would be thoughtful and show you care about and listen to your conversations with her. A spa gift card might be nice too.

    I don't think it'd be weird at all. Very thoughtful! It seems like something she'd truly appreciate rather than something generic. Just be sure to get a gift receipt in case they don't fit just right.

    This! I definitely would be appreciative of such a gift. Go for it!

    I've always heard the best gift for nanny/sitter is cash. But I think it depends, is she more of an "employee" or more of a friend? If that makes any sense lol.

    I feel like if it's the latter, and you seem to know her well, and she's specifically mentioned that she likes your Uggs (and you know her size) then I think those would be a very nice gift.

    We have a nanny that comes to our house p/t - while I'm debating getting her a gift from LO, like an ornament or something small, we plan to just give her a weeks salary cash as a Christmas bonus.

    I think the Uggs would be perfect. Mine is getting a $50 gift card to a local restaurant. I'm jealous of your Uggs idea.
