Gift ideas for leaving mindees?

[Becci26]

I have twins leaving at the end of term and would like to give them something nice to remind them of their time with me, any suggestions?

It needs to be something I can just order ideally as I am bit immobile and can't easily get around or make anything unfortunately.

They are 11 and A is a girl, J is a boy.

Was thinking poss of a nice bracelet for A but no idea for J.

That's a lovely idea, especially for older kids. :)

I done this for my last family, it's so nice they still want to go through it with me when I see them :)

We have started to give our leavers photobooks, they are not expensive and there are some special offers on, I think they cost around £5.99 each, this gift is also nice for the parents as they can see how happy their children have been with us.

I'm getting my mindee a cushion made with his name on it, like this one but with a different name!

My friend makes them so I'm supporting her business as well as giving mindee something he can keep to remind him of his time here.

Photo albums or photo books are always nice to look back on :-)

A lovely framed collage?

[loocyloo]

I usually do a photo collage ( A3 sized ) on snapfish and put their name and dates they attended. I try to include all their friends, and photos from when they started to when they leave. I then put it in a frame.

I have only had little ones leave me. I have bought them things to remind them of time spent with me. Gifts have been bird houses - we love watching and feeding the birds, bug boxes - we do a lot of nature walks, book ends - for a child who loves stories and for my twin girls who are leaving me Friday I have bought a big oven tray with loads of cookie cutters. Hopefully the children will thibk of me when using what I have bought x

That's some lovely ideas thankyou,
I like the photo ideas but unfortunately don't have many decent ones as the always seen to come out a bit rubbish - will take a look though and see if I can use any....

I had 2 leave me last week. They are 3 and 1.
I got them Build-a-bear cuddly toys, a dog and a bear and named them after my dogs who they both adore.
Unfortunately, they were poorly all last week so we haven't had our last day. I am meeting up with them during the holidays and will give the cuddlies to them then.
