Or you could get her a gift voucher for one of MakeHQ's craft workshops in cupcakes, sewing etc so she can have a chilled night out ;-)


I actually used to give mine a small something the children had made/a hand made card then something like flowers/champagne (not very imaginative!) and cold hard cash at Christmas.

i think it's fair enough to ask her if not sure. We went for mixture of small gift to show some effort had gone into it - necklace or bracelet or scarf etc, home made card from children and cash so she could get what she really wanted...


Ps sillywoman causes all sorts of problems that one of the grandnmothers is also called Nanny. My son has self sorted it and refers to the paid child carer one as his childminder, as he seems to know it causes problems, not least to my mum who is the Nanny and is not that keen on sharing her job title. It is indeed a cultural thing!!

Thanks for all the suggestions. Think she would appreciate some cash because she told me she was saving up for her summer holidays (which I am forcing her to take in July despite her protests that it was too expensive to travel!!). But agree that a small gift to show I had made the effort would be nice too. Little one is too young to make a card and I'm not brave enough to have him splash around in paint just yet - not when I have to clear up the mess myself :p

Are you not referring to aupairs? I would expect a nanny to have perfectly good English. If you suggested English classes to any of the nannies who I know in Dulwich, they would give you a thick ear.

    • You literally just edited your earlier reply to remove the point you made about it being “politicians”.  Then you call me pathetic.    I’m  not trying to say you approve any of the ugly right wing nonsense.  But I AM Saying your earlier post suggesting  violent rhetoric being “left wing” was one-sided and incorrect 
    • I never said that. Saying I don’t like some of the rhetoric coming from the left doesn’t mean I approve of Farage et al saying that Afghans being brought here to protect their lives and thank them for their service means there is an incalculable threat to women.    Anything to score a cheap point. It’s pretty pathetic. 
    • To be fair we are as hosed as the majority of other countries post-Covid. The problem is Labour promised way too much and leant in on the we need change and we will deliver it and it was clear to anyone with a modicum of sense that no change was going to happen quickly and actually taking the reigns may have been a massive poison- chalice. As Labour are finding to their cost - there are no easy answers.  A wealth tax seems straightforward but look how Labour have U-turned on elements of non-dom - why? Because the super rich started leaving the country in their droves and whilst we all may want them to pay more tax they already pay a big chunk already and the government saw there was a problem.
    • You don’t think there are right-wing politicians fanning this with rhetoric? Really?
