Farewell gifts for educators: they're really happy about this

Nursery staff do you a huge favour: they look after your most precious treasure. It's understandable that you would like to give them a special farewell gift. But what? Perhaps my tips will help you.
Maybe you're like me. Every time one of my children or a teacher changes kindergarten groups, I'm at a loss: What should I give them? What will she be happy about? What can she use? The answer: I have no idea. Even though I've been talking to her every day for months, if not years. But probably mainly about my children, not about the private preferences of the daycare centre staff.
So I usually resort to the voucher solution - buy your own! I actually think this is a good gift. That's why I gallantly recommend a Galaxus voucher:
Swiss customers can find the vouchers here.
If you're looking for something a little more sophisticated or would like to add a little something to the voucher, why not try these things?
The classic: a photo of your child
Depending on how long the carer has been looking after your child, a very close bond may have developed. The staff will therefore certainly be delighted to receive a visual memento: a beautifully designed photo or a small souvenir album featuring photos and art of your child
Flowers: maybe forever?
"Flowers are the smile of the earth," Ralph Waldo Emerson once said - and you can give this smile to your educator. If you assume that he or she will receive lots of bouquets of flowers anyway or you want to stand out from the crowd of gifts, you can alternatively try dried flowers - also available from Lego - or flower seeds. This way, the person will enjoy the colourful splendour for longer.
Delicacies are never wrong
But maybe you don't want to give something that just sits around and might not be liked or needed. Then you should be on the safe side with something to eat or drink. A delicious box of chocolates is unlikely to be spurned by anyone. Something a little more unusual would be a special tea or coffee or a jar of honey, for example.
Something for body and soul
The same applies to well-being and care products: You can hardly go wrong. A nice soap, a nice-smelling relaxing bath or a face mask - everyone will probably find a use for them at some point. And they come in all kinds of different versions and crazy designs.
Fun in everyday daycare
You can also make your childminder happy with things that they need in everyday life anyway or that they can use for their group of children: A planner, for example, a funny mug or a toy for the group.
What do you think is the perfect educator gift? Tell me in the comments.
