Christmas Gift Ideas Part 2: What should I get my nanny family for Christmas?
It’s the season for gift giving and you might be wondering what should I get my nanny family for Christmas?
We’ve asked Nannytax Nanny Ambassador Isabel, a.k.a. @tiny.team.adventures, to share her top Christmas gift ideas for both the children and the parents in the family you nanny for!
Gift Ideas For the Children:
1. Personalised Storybooks
A story with their name and even their likeness makes reading time extra special.
2. Craft Kits or DIY Sets
Age-appropriate kits, such as jewellery-making or science experiments, can be fun and educational.
3. Personalised Puzzle or Name Blocks
These make for a keepsake toy that’s interactive and unique.
4. Outdoor Adventure Pack
For little explorers, consider a small backpack with a magnifying glass, binoculars, and a nature journal.
5. Board Games or Books
Choose a game or book based on their interests, whether it’s animals, adventures, or art.
6. Keepsake Ornament
A little ornament with their name or something meaningful to them for the family’s Christmas tree.
Gift Ideas For the Parents:
1. Personalised Family Calendar
Include photos or meaningful dates. It’s a thoughtful gift and also practical.
2. Gift Certificate for a Family Experience
Look into local family-friendly events, like zoo tickets, museum passes, or an afternoon tea experience.
3. A Nice Bottle of Wine or Gourmet Food Basket
Some nice wine, chocolates, or artisan snacks make for a classic and universally appreciated gift.
4. Family Photo Frame
A high-quality, elegant frame with a nice family photo if you have access to one.
5. Spa or Coffee Shop Gift Card
For some relaxation or a treat, a small gift card can be a nice touch.
6. Custom Christmas Ornament
A simple, elegant ornament that can add a memory to their tree each year.
