But, how much do you pay her per hour? If you're paying her $20/hr and relatively well-off, $25 might seem a little cheap. Anything would be nice but maybe whatever you'd pay her for at least 2 hours or 1/2 a day could be another way to look at it.
Gift cards and flowers are always nice.
I agree. And a special effort from your kids (depending on their ages) in the way of homemade cards or drawings (my most cherished gifts!).
