Gift ideas for daycare provider??

_whatsherface

Thought I'd try here.
My sons provider just gave me a Christmas gift for him. I thought that was very sweet and I would like to get her something in return. She had made all sorts of amazing progress with my son since switching him from a large in home daycare to her smaller in home daycare. I don't know much of what she's into and would like it to be some what thoughtful. I'm not sure I have time to have flowers sent to her. Any good ideas?

This is my go-to gift if I don't know what to get someone because usually everyone likes the movies. I get the popcorn tub at the dollar store, theater candy at Walgreens and two movie tickets or a gift card for the cost of two tickets. I've used this for plenty of teacher appreciation gifts and they always liked it.

Or if you have time you can do this which is cute for teacher/daycare provider. I just bought a plant, a plain ceramic plant holder from Michaels. Paint the bottom black, top yellow, waited for it to dry. Wrote marks to look like a ruler in Sharpie and also wrote the "Thanks for helping me grow" in Sharpie. I added my kid's name and date to the bottom and put the plant in and added a gift card to Target because everyone loves Target and they can get supplies and whatnot from there.

OMG I love this. I'm not a teacher but I do work in the special education field in a school district. I mainly just get gift cards from my boss. One time he paid for a pedicure. And I get loads of Starbucks. But I don't work with young people. I'm with middle and high school students. So thanks for this idea!!! Way cute! And you can never go wrong with a target gift card either.

But you can have flowers sent with a click of the mouse online.

I'm worried she won't get them on time.
