Help me do something nice for our nanny

But for me, fresh flowers, especially roses or Peonies would be nice.

Another idea is a gift card for Barnes and Noble so she can get a book or magazines or something to "get lost" in.

Another idea, if she likes to cook is a cooking class somewhere like Sur la Table or a gift card to them or Williams Sonoma. I had a mom surprise me with a West Elm gift card one day and it was such a fun surprise.

Disliking scented lotions and bath junk has nothing to do with a crappy immune system. How rude!

Agreed, I hated scented products, but that has nothing to do with getting sick. I haven't had a sick day in, oh, probably 7 years? I dislike chemicals, the way they dry out my skin and make me sneeze. Certainly, some people get hives or have other issues, but there are plenty of people that simply choose to avoid cloying scents.

I think a good suggestion would be to invite nanny out to a family dinner somewhere with you and the kiddos. Perhaps a fun pizza place with games and tons of fun!

Or you can have a bar-b-que in your backyard one day and ask nanny if she would like to join you and your family.

These tokens of thought will be well appreciated.

Good luck. ~

Please! OP, a day off is perfect. Long weekend coming up this weekend. Can you give her Friday off so she has a 4-day mini vacation.
