I buy my mindees a christmas present but I also give them a choc lolly plus one for siblings because I'm the same as you, it's not a lot but it means I don't miss them out :)

I buy for minded children only but so far I have minded all the children in the families I work with so it hasn't really been an issue.
If you have a lot of minded children with big families and buy for everybody you'd spend a fortune!

I would buy for the mindees only (if I've never cared for their siblings). I have a couple of older siblings of current mindees who no longer come (except in passing with parents) and I get them a selection box.

Same here! I have one lo who has an older brother I never have as mum works school hours to takes him and collects him from school, so I don't buy for him. But I used to look after older sisters of another mindee so I still buy them something small like a selection box :thumbsup:
