I’ve also found this to be true. The magic of that blue box continues.


I don’t need or want a “magical blue box.” Thanks anyway.


You won’t get one.


No, I got cash, several "gifts" the kids drew or crafted, and something the parents knew I would like and use.

Former nanny: one couple I worked for gave me a good bottle of wine, a cheese, and their Christmas card with my bonus tucked inside.

But they knew I was a wine/cheese person. Just like I knew what books their son liked so I always dropped off a wrapped up book and said Santa accidentally left it by me

If you know her tastes a food gift would be nice. Fine chocolate, good bottle of wine, Penzey’s spice set etc. Or a fancy candle, body wash and lotion set?

Great idea! We also give our nannies a gift card to a restaurant and cash.

Our nanny loves to read (but not fantasy like Hobbit) and her books are displayed in her home prominently so books are a great gift to her. She doesn’t eat sugar or drink alcohol so no chocolates or wine. She loves blue and red - doesn’t like brown or yellow - so a cashmere blue scarf was a hit.

You should know your child’s nanny!!



OP simply asked a question, calm down. What is with your hyper aggressive post? Get a therapist to work this out. I digress...we purchased our nanny a scarf. She was newly employed with us so this seem to be a great gift idea.



Why would OP ask internet strangers what she should give her nanny?!

So much hate from women! This is why men don’t respect you. Try respecting people. Grow up!

How the hell would we know?! NP here and tell me what to give my brother for Christmas while you’re at it.




This is a normal question in comparison. Your brother does not work for you. Get outta here with your negativity Nancy!





What PP is saying is that asking what to get her brother is as ridiculous as asking what to get her nanny. Sad that flew over your head, Karen.

Interestingly, I couldn’t give either. My brother is older, a vegetarian and revived alcoholic.

The point is to know your employees.

This question comes up frequently regarding nannies but I’ve never seen it asked of assistants, clerks, nurses in the office, etc. on other appropriate forums. It’s usually only asked for nannies and in laws.

I assume you know your nanny shops at Target. Our nanny has never stepped foot in one.
