Presents for people

[shaz-rla]

My son is due to leave nursery on Friday and I would like to get his keyworker a special gift as she also keyworked my middle child, we have had links with her and the nursery for 5 years and she is one of the nicest in there.  Can anyone give me some ideas?  I don't want to get flowers, wine or chocolates as there is not much thought in that and I don't want to ask her what she wants.  I don't mind spending up to �20 on her.  Thanks in advance!

Woofgang, what a fantastic idea! Thank you!  I have looked up their website and will give them a quick phone to confirm delivery timescale.

For the last couple of years, all the parents in my son's class have clubbed together and bought shopping vouchers for the teacher (John Lewis or M&S).  She is delighted with this arrangement saying that previously she used to get inundated with chocs, smellies, flowers etc.  If you gave her a �20 voucher, she would be able to buy an item of clothing.  Another idea is a token for a manicure or pedicure.

Thanks Binky (our youngest guinea pig is called Binky!) is your name after a pet?

Have you thought about an italian charm bracelet ?

You can make it personal to her ie. Name, birthstone, etc.

www.gillyandstripes.co.uk are really cheap and have a wide range of charms to choose from.

Purdster I think I may have left it too late to order it? Do they sell them in any high street stores??

[Binky]

shaz-rla - no my name Binky is not after a pet, although a member of my family had a dog called Binky.  It is rather more in the line of an old 1920s nick name - do you remember seeing films where girls from the 20s where girls are called names like Binky, and Lettuce?

Sort of remember, my nana used to talk of things like that too!  I hope you were not offended by me liking your name to one of our pets??
