RE: Holiday Gift for Daycare?
I just took gifts in today... DS is in the toddler room, so that's 3 full time teachers and 2 floaters!
I picked up some Burt's Bees lotion samplers from MamaSwap at a great price. I also ordered a $20 or $25 gift basket from Wine Country Gift Baskets (not sure how big it was, but it looked nice for the price in the catalog/online). And then we added $5 (float) or $15 (full time) Bath and Body Works gift cards.
It still added up, but I don't have time to bake goodies, and as another mom pointed out to me, there are 15+ kids in the class (15 "full-time- equivalents"), and if every kid gives even a $5 gift card, it will add up to a lot. I didn't want to leave the floats out -- one is there every evening, and I usually get DS near the end of their day... And I think they can find something in that store for $5 or $15...
I'm sure other parents in his room are giving way more, but it's what we were comfortable with giving this year...
