The short answerWhen your child leaves the childminder or nanny to start school, the gift that means the most to her is the photos from the years spent in her care. A frame with a collage of those photos (from $55.00, $75.00 in 30×40 cm), a mug with your child's photo ($23.00), or a calendar of twelve memories (). Order three weeks before her last day. Shipping included.

The photos from those years

Gather the photos she sent you over the months: the first day, the first steps, the birthday cake, the park. Pick four to six, put them together with your phone's collage feature, and add "Thank you Nadia — 2024-2027" with your child's name.

The 30×40 cm frame (about 12×16 in), $75.00: the right size for a collage of several photos.
The A4 frame, from $55.00: a single photo, your child and their childminder together.
The A4 calendar, : twelve photos, twelve months, and she keeps it all year.

Photos she appears inAsk her before printing a photo she can be seen in. If other children she looks after are in the picture, crop them out or ask their parents first.

Small extras to go with it

The mug, $23.00: your child's photo, or one of their drawings.
Ten postcards, $26.00: a photo on the front and a word from your child on the back — even a scribble counts.
The tote bag, $35.00: with one of your child's drawings, for trips to the park with the next little ones.

Several families together

If several children are leaving her for school at the same time, the families can share a frame: split between two families, the A4 frame comes to $27.50 each. One person places a single order; from ten items in the basket, 10% comes off automatically.
