Christmas Gift Ideas Part 1: What should I get my nanny for Christmas?
It’s the season for gift giving, and if you’re wondering what should I get my nanny for Christmas? – you’re in luck!
We’ve asked Nannytax Nanny Ambassador Isabel, a.k.a @tiny.team.adventures, to share her top gift ideas for what families could get their nannies this Christmas!
Gift Idea 1. A gift card to their favourite shop
Gift cards can be a great choice because they offer flexibility and allow people to choose something they really want or need.
With a gift card, the recipient can pick exactly what they like,
ensuring the gift is something they’ll truly enjoy or find useful. Gift cards are also convenient for busy schedules, reduce waste by avoiding unwanted items, and can be tailored to your nanny’s interests. Sometimes people don’t prioritise treating themselves, so a gift card to a favourite restaurant, spa, or shop gives your nanny a good reason to splurge or relax.
Gift Idea 2. Portable Coffee Mug
A portable coffee mug can be a wonderful gift, especially for nannies for several reasons. Nannies are often out and about with kids, going to
parks, playgrounds, and classes. A portable coffee mug allows them to take their hot drink with them and enjoy it wherever they are. Insulated mugs keep drinks hot or cold for longer, which is also ideal for nannies who may not have time to drink their coffee right away, and the typical spill-proof design ensures safety around children.
Eco-friendly and cost-effective, it helps reduce disposable cup waste and can help your nanny save money on buying coffees from cafes as they can brew at home and bring along with them. Plus, sometimes, just having a favourite warm beverage can make the day feel a bit easier and more enjoyable, especially on chilly mornings or busy days.
Gift Idea 3. Spa Gift Set
A spa gift set can be a fantastic gift for a nanny because it encourages self-care and relaxation, which can be especially meaningful in a job that often focuses on taking care of others. Nannying is rewarding but can be physically and emotionally demanding. A spa gift set provides a chance for relaxation after a long day, helping reduce stress and restore energy. It encourages self-care, providing an at-home spa experience with calming scents like lavender or chamomile to boost mood and improve sleep.
High-quality spa products feel luxurious without being overly expensive, so it’s a small indulgence they might not splurge on for themselves, with versatile items like bath salts and lotions that can easily fit into their routine.
