Best Gifts for Daycare Providers
1. Handwritten Card
Include a heartfelt, handwritten card with any gift on this list.
You can even write out a card to give to her on any random day to tell her how much you appreciate her taking care of your kiddo!
It means so much more than you know.
There have been many times that I had to brace myself when I received a thank you card because I knew that I would be tearing up. And you guys, I am not that emotional of a person.
2. A Gift Card
Include a gift card in that handwritten card to any of her favorite places.
Every place that I know does gift cards these days. And they work for every occasion.
I love getting gift cards to my favorite coffee shop, restaurant, and Amazon.
How much you want to give is completely up to you and should reflect how good of a job you think she is doing.
3. Cash Money
When all else fails, or you ran out of time to pick something else up, you can never go wrong with cash money as a gift in a handwritten card.
You can also do a VISA gift card, which is good to spend anywhere.
4. Chocolates
Oh man, if your daycare provider is anything like me, then she will go bananas over a gift of chocolates.
These are my favorite chocolates; in case you don’t know what her favorite chocolates are.
What is your favorite kind of chocolate treat? Let me know in the comments below.
5. Gourmet Gifts
Did you know that Amazon has gourmet gifts? Yep, it’s true.
Here are a few popular ones - a treats box, dried fruit, and fancy chocolates.
If these don’t suit your daycare provider’s fancy, then take a peek on Amazon. There are so many more delicious gifts to choose from.
6. Coffee
Is she a coffee drinker/lover? Most daycare providers are. I know I am guessing here but I believe it is true!
Stock her up on some of her favorites.
7. Yeti Rambler
Even if she has a Yeti Rambler, she can always use another one.
She is doing so much throughout the day and this rambler will keep her hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold for so long.
I have 3 of these ramblers and I use them every single day, friend.
Also, if I am being honest, I have given away all of my other insulated cups. They just don’t compare.
8. Water Bottle
After she is done with her coffee, she will need to hydrate as she runs around after your little one.
This is a rockstar Hydro Flask water bottle that will easily help her out with that.
9. Have Your Kiddo Make Something
This could be a colored picture or a sweet note.
Even though this isn't a traditional gift, it will be something that will pull on your daycare provider's heartstrings for sure.
I love when my daycare kiddos make something just for me. And they love to see it hanging in my house.
10. Picture Frame
If you know your daycare provider's home décor style, why not try a picture frame?
For me, I love black frames with a white matte around the picture but there are so many amazing options out there.
11. Bath Bombs
Listen, guys, all moms need some pampering but no one deserves it more than your daycare provider.
It is a day-in-day-out, crazy intense kid corral and it takes a toll on the body.
She will be able to take time for herself with these bath bombs and shower steamers.
12. Cozy Blanket
A cozy blanket is a perfect gift for your daycare provider, especially if you live somewhere that gets cold.
She will love snuggling up with this blanket to watch a movie or read a good book.
We have multiple of them and everyone wants to use these the most.
13. Cozy Socks
To go with that cozy blanket, toss in a pair of these cozy socks.
They are so soft and warm and I love that they have skid resistors on the bottom.
So many cute styles to choose from.
14. Nail Polish
Does she love spending time doing her nails? Put together a nail polish kit for her.
I have had the best luck with this brand of nail polish.
When I use the top coat and dry it with my hair dryer, my polish will last close to 2 weeks. And that is with all the hand washing I have to do. It is so good!
15. Christmas Ornament
Are you getting your daycare provider this gift for Christmas? Why not go with an ornament?
There are only like 100,000 to choose from.
My kids and daycare kids know that I love Snoopy and Charlie Brown so I bet you can guess what kind of ornaments I get
.
16. Willow Tree Figure
Isn't this Willow Tree Figure beautiful?
I am not a collector of these by any means but I was gifted this one and have one of a couple.
The quality of these figures wows me!
17. Funny Doormat
I don't have a doormat; my door wouldn't open if I did.
But I saw this one and immediately started laughing. True, so true!
So, if your daycare provider has a great sense of humor, this might be the perfect gift for her.
18. Candle
There is not a woman that I know who doesn’t want her house to smell wonderful.
This candle will do that for her, no problem.
I love to light mine after the daycare kids go home for the day. It is relaxing for me to sit and read by it.
19. Wind Chime
I got a wind chime from my own kids a few years ago for Mother’s Day and I absolutely love it.
And you know what, my kids and daycare kids love it too.
We put it on the swing set and the kids love making it chime while they swing.
20. Bird Feeder
Not a classic gift for anyone but it will be so enjoyable. Having birds around the bird feeder can provide lots of entertainment.
Your little one is going to be able to watch "his" bird feeder while at daycare and be able to tell you all about it.
You can add in some bird food to get her started.
21. Backpack Diaper Bag
If your daycare provider takes your kiddo on a walk with the stroller or on any field trips, she is going to need to carry essential items for her.
Upgrade her bag to this backpack diaper bag with stroller hooks. Get the one with the stroller hooks, it is worth it!
Seriously, one of the most useful “tools” of my job.
She is going to love it!
This post is all about the best gifts for daycare providers that you need to consider giving.
Let me know in the comments below how your daycare provider helps you the most. Being more helpful is one of my goals this year.
I look forward to hearing from you and thanks for stopping by.
