I have a couple of friends who have really helped me out recently and had my boys for and afternoon/morning in recent months. I know friends help each other out but I want to give them a small thank you gift. Normally I would probably do baking but they both bake plus I gave baking at xmas. Any other ideas? It needs to be small (read: budget friendly!  )All I can think of is a pot plant------------- Lindsey

1 thing I like to do is send kisses from the kids. Those boxes of Hershey's kisses.
Other things are scorched almonds, bottle of wine, magazine, hand cream, shower gel etc.

A neighbour of mine once gave me home baking but she had put it in a little basket covered with a nice tea towel. I was stoked!! It probably didn't cost that much but adding the extra thought into it made it just that little bit special ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| I really like the idea of a nice serving plate or something since they both bake. |

Maybe you could get a nice serving plate or maybe an apron and get a notebook and hand write all your favourite baking recipes for something personal and thoughtful? ------------- Kelly, mum to DD, 19Jun06 (26wks 1lb15oz) DS1, 24Oct10 (32wks 4lb11oz) and DS2, 31Dec11 (32wks, 4lb11) http://lilypie.com">

My friend gave a bunch of us some homemade bath salts which were LOVELY! (they were for the babies but I like to sneak them too lol) Maybe something like that so they can "relax" and enjoy. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

Yeah, one of them is a foodie so I could get one of the mags like Taste and the other is selling and moving so maybe something like Home and garden?? ------------- Lindsey
