Christmas Gifts for Daycare (Teachers & Babies)

Despite my lack of decorating and wrapping gifts this year, I truly LOVE Christmas. Having an 11 month old (January birthday party planning) and remodeling a house means something had to give this year. BUT I am not letting that stop me from trying to do the most in other areas for Christmas, like gifts for Clara's wonderful daycare providers and goodie bags for the other babies in her room. I'm also posting this before our daycare Christmas party so if you are a parent of one of the babies or a carergiver, sorry if you really wanted to be surprised.

Gifts for Daycare Providers/Teachers

I personally try to give a good gift that I think they will use or a gift card to somewhere EVERYONE would like (aka amazon, probably). I see a lot of people like starbucks gift cards, but we don't live that close to one, so I try to avoid places likat that. This year I went with hydrojug cups and a handful of assorted Ghirardelli chocolate squares. I know I'm late posting this year but it's the best time to buy these kinds of gifts during black friday for future reference. So try to have an idea of what you might want to do before then!

Gifts for Babies at Daycare (6-18m)

I realize this might be a hard group to easily do something for. Luckily there are only 4 babies including my daughter in the baby room at daycare. Their ages range from 6-18 months. First an easy decision was a baby book from the Indestructibles line. Clara's LOVES these and it doesn't stress me out that she's ruining it, becuase she literally can't, trust me she has tried. I HIGHLY recommend these books as gifts for babies or for your own! No, I don't know what they are made of and this is one item I'm chosing ingorant bliss on. The rest of the goodie bag is snacks that I either had or could easily get. I wanted to do something festive, so I decided to make little reindeer and snowmen out of the pudding cups! I also thought pudding was a safe choose for even the youngest baby, expesically if they are only doing purees. I have no idea but again, a safe choice and I could make them festive!

Let me just add, if you had a lot of kids you needed to make goody bags for, I would slap some christmas stickers on those puddings or whatever you got and call it good. I was actually trying to make the vanilla pudding looking like a santa at first and I am just not that artistic. I'm lucky the reindeer came out decent, the first pair of antlers I cut looked like chicken feet.. Anyway, HAPPY GIFTING!
