Around the holidays, I put together a gift basket for my mother's helper, a junior high aged neighbor who comes over to play with my toddler once or twice a week while I work on projects around the house. I thought I'd share the contents of the basket with you here just in case it might give you some ideas for gifts for your own babysitters. Here are the contents of the basket (unfortunately, I didn't take a photo of the assembled basket...):
1. A stainless steel water bottle (this was the first item that I bought, and its shapes and colors offered inspiration for the rest of the items in the basket).2. A pair of brightly-colored slipper socks.
3. A journal and some pretty pens.
4. A fabric-topped jar full of gumballs.
5. Fun stickers
6. A French memo board (not pictured)
I think she liked it. She said it was, "Cool". Does cool still mean cool?
