Hiya
A mum from school has been kindly picking up and dropping Nyah off before and after school. She has been doing this for me for about a month. Next week is the last week, as we are moving next weekend and Nyah will be using the Walking School bus. I'd like to get her and her kids a thank you gift. She has four kids aged from 4mths to 10years... I'm a bit stumped for ideas for a family gift.... Does anyone have any suggestions??? TIA  ------------- Mr Mellow (16) Miss Attitude (8) Destructa Kid (3)

| Hmm thats a tricky one. You want something nice for mum but fun for the kids. I was going to suggest voucher to Lollipops but personally think it is parent hell. Movie vouchers maybe? |

What about a couple of board games? You could get trouble which little kids can play too, and is about $15ish and maybe monopoly or scrabble or cranium or someting that the older kids can play and adults would enjoy too? ------------- The Honest Un PC Parent of 2, usually stuck in the naughty corner! :P |

Or some nice home baking and stickers for the kids? If you wanted to do the movie thing, it's probably easiest to get vouchers from a movie rental place. ------------- |

I was going to suggest board games too. Or you could make up a hamper of some goodies to suit adults and kids. Nice coffee/tea & 2 nice coffee mugs (or wine & wine glasses), and then some nice biscuits or home baking and a few other yummy chocolates or fruits. The $2 shop has mini wasjig puzzles so you could get a few of those to put in for the older ones along with some stickers??? ------------- http://lilypie.com">
