I'm sure she will love it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gifts-are-you-giving-daycare-providers-for-the-holidays#post-447493 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 15:08:02 +0000 chrispygal 447493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is only in daycare one day a week, so for those teacher we purchased a little gift set from Bath &amp; Body Works for each of them. LO is with an aunt the other 4 days and we bought her a necklace from Tiffany's. It's silver, so it's not over the top, but we wanted to get her something nice from our daughter to demonstrate how thankful we are for her. She is going to be mad at us for getting her anything, but we had to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gifts-are-you-giving-daycare-providers-for-the-holidays#post-447484 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 15:01:49 +0000 T-Mom 447484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: There was one year that the teachers requested we purchase a manipulative for the classroom in lieu of gifts, but it hasn't happened since!<br /> @winniebee: gift cards to target are awesome. Maybe I'll do that.<br /> @BabyBoecksMom: @yoursilverlining: your teachers are going to love you. My husband truly believes that giving nice gifts will influence how your children are treated. I don't think that is necessarily true, but it certainly can't hurt! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gifts-are-you-giving-daycare-providers-for-the-holidays#post-447474 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 14:56:49 +0000 yoursilverlining 447474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At our daycare the parents of each room pool $ and buy the teachers and assistants gift cards; so we put in $ for that.</p> <p>I’m also putting together gift bags for LO’s 3 main teachers and the 2 main helpers. I got a bunch of chocolates from a really nice local chocolate shop (chocolate covered chips, pretzels, chocolate bars that say “#1 teacher”, raspberry truffles, white chocolate truffles, milk chocolate truffles, some other sort of truffles, marshmallow trees dipped in chocolate) as well as caramel popcorn and candied nuts and a bottle of (cheap! haha) wine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gifts-are-you-giving-daycare-providers-for-the-holidays#post-447471 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 14:56:30 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 447471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gave them a box of baked goodies, a Christmas-y wine glass, a picture of DD, and $100 for the FT ladies and $50 for the PT girls. The ladies have been SO good to DD and treat her as if she was their own so I wanted to do something really special for them.</p> <p>@Mrs. Bee: That's a great idea - I wish I had done that instead! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gifts-are-you-giving-daycare-providers-for-the-holidays#post-447470 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 14:56:16 +0000 winniebee 447470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gift cards to Target - who doesn't love Target? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gifts-are-you-giving-daycare-providers-for-the-holidays#post-447468 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 14:54:22 +0000 Mrs. Bee 447468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i would prefer to gift something to the daycare so the kids could use it (the teachers are owners), but cash is king! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gifts-are-you-giving-daycare-providers-for-the-holidays#post-447463 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 14:52:27 +0000 Andrea 447463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: I am usually never on the ball, but having another baby coming soon has been motivating!

If you are giving gifts, what are you giving?</p> <p>Last year I went low budget and gave fuzzy socks (10 teachers for 2 kids). Previous years, I have given gift cards, plants, toiletries. I'm running out of ideas! </p>
