25 Thoughtful Gifts for Your Nanny to Say 'Thank You' This Holiday Season
25 Thoughtful Gifts for Your Nanny to Say 'Thank You' This Holiday Season
Nannies are right up there with teachers when it comes to holding some of the most important jobs in the world. We trust them with our most precious cargo — our children — and they play an integral role in shaping young hearts and minds, all while keeping the little ones safe and entertained. Given the importance of their roles, it only makes sense that they should be appropriately rewarded around the holiday season (and celebrated on their birthdays or any other special occasion). So, what are some spot-on gifts for the nanny?
When it comes to how much you should you spend on a nanny gift, a typical annual cash bonus might amount to about one week's pay, according to etiquette experts. Beyond that, a material token of affection — even a small one — can go a long way to say thank you and show the depths of your gratitude. To help you select just the right one, no matter your budget, here's our roundup of the best gift ideas for nannies in 2022.
Our list includes nanny gifts for all sorts of people and personalities. Included in our gift guide are ideas for self-care, pampering, homewares, tech gadgets, personalizable gifts, and more.
