Copy of a gift photo book

[Anonymous]

My children's nanny gifts us (parents) a photo book (made on Shutterfly/similar) of photos of the kids doing fun things throughout the year that she takes while spending time with them.

Recently my parents saw a photo book recently and asked if they could get a copy. I understand their feelings, they have missed so much and there are lots of great pictures in the book. . Would it be out of line to ask my nanny if she'd print another copy (or perhaps a couple if she goes to the trouble) at our expense? I suppose she could charge it to the credit card she uses for their activities. Not sure why I am hesitant to ask, but maybe in the sense that I am somehow commodifying what is an incredibly thoughtful gift.

I can’t imagine anyone taking that request as anything but a compliment. Yes, go ahead and ask her. Our nanny routinely makes photo gifts and has DS do crafts for their grandparents too. I know she would do it in a second.

I think it's okay to ask, it's probably already saved on the shutterfly account (or whatever service she used) just make sure you make it clear you will pay for it.

Nanny here. I would take your request as a compliment and happily make copies.

I think Shutterfly allows her to share the project with you and then you could print your own copies.

Yes. Doitbyoulf. The nanny is not your damn servant.

Do you pay her extra for all this unnecessary work because you are too lazy,?

WTAF - it's no extra work to reprint a book that has already been created in Shutterfly, and the family is going to pay for it themselves.

Hi, Fat Troll! We were wondering when you’d show up! Still no life, PP?
