What are you getting your in-home daycare lady for Christmas

[lmb5109]

What are you getting for your day care person and how much are you spending?

She talks about a certain movie theater and a restaurant she likes so I was planning on getting her and her family a gift card for those but wasn't sure on the amount. 

[lmb5109]

Shit, I didn't even think of it being equal to what I pay monthly. Crap, I pay $210/week. Can't afford that!

[savan]

One week's pay.

[lillioness]

One week's pay. I did not get the impression that most people who send their kids their did that though.

When my DS was still in daycare, I gave her a $100 gift card to a family restaurant. The next year, I got her family a membership to the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry. She was SHOCKED both times. I got the impression that people didn't get her gifts.

We're doing a restaurant GC to her fave place, a bottle of her fave kind of wine and a box of chocolates. Her daughter is a friend of mine, so I asked her for suggestions and she told me her parents love to go out to eat at a particular place and what kind of wine she likes.

Fifty bucks.

Which is not a week's pay, but I'm broke this year.

[mie]

Cash equal to a week's pay.

one week's pay.

We give a $100 gift card to her favorite restaurant for her and her husband (who runs the daycare with her).

A big ass bottle of Crown Royal.

[pugz]

dolla dolla bills!

probably $100, plus a Christmas card and some baked goodies

We can't afford one week's pay but since DH is a teacher she gets two weeks paid vacation in December.

$25-50 gc, wine

[Deleted]

$50.00. I can't afford a full week's pay and no one does that here TBH. I think my DC lady just gets a lot of tree ornaments and thank you cards actually. I'm also probably going to get her $50.00 worth of stuff she can use in her daycare as well. There are certain toys she's been talking about and she's really into art supplies, play doh etc. so I think I'm going to replenish the stash.

We always do two weeks' pay at Christmas.

I really don't think anyone at our daycare does a weeks pay or anything like that. Last year, I put together little boxes with candies and $20 cash. (there are two ladies). If I had my shit together enough to bake, I would have done that instead of candies, but whatever. DH doesn't think we need to do anything. I did feel awkward about the cash, but if it was me, I'd honestly prefer that to a small gc.

A restaurant and michaels gc, prob $50 each.
