What to get the carer?

In the end I have bought her a very nice scarf - not a posh silky one, but one that I think might suit her. An attractive mix of colours, and quite large - almost a shawl. I suspect she will be off back to Scotland soon and it will be chilly there.

I have just come back from a rehearsal and she has done her back in moving my OH. We are waiting for a gantry hoist - and we wait, and we wait - just as we have done for every tiny thing we have needed. Life is one long fight. Sigh.

Not clothes if she’s anything like me I don’t like people choosing my clothes they rarely get it right if she has no settled home, flowers wouldn’t work either
I wonder if a voucher for a nearby theatre would be a treat or
for a massage or an hour or two at a spa kind of voucher I know I d like that
Failing that I d settle for a voucher for a departmental store so she could use it on anything not just clothes

...a nice book...or book voucher?

How about a nice pen?

I'm assuming she needs to write up notes when working.

M&S do some lovely warm wraps, I have two, they are £35 but not sure how much you want to spend. One size will fit all.

Good Lord. A swathe of ads for blouses has appears on my phone.

gould would

I gould get her a baggy blouse. You could get it online quite cheaply. A colour you've seen her wear.
Loose clothing doesn't have to be an exact size. Try to see the size label in a cardigan she might leave lying around on a chair...?

not on the high street, has nice different things and reasonably priced

I don't know how much you want to spend, but a washbag with really nice shower gel, body lotion etc in it? Or if you had more in mind, what about one of the experience gifts, they don't all have to involve food?

Could you get a voucher- M and S , Next, or whatever and then she can buy what she wants?

Thanks for the ideas - taste in scarves/clothes hard to get a grip on. She has the biggest boobs I have ever seen; and tends to wear sloppy stuff; but is clearly not remotely fashion conscious.

Looked at Penhaligans - a bit out of my budget league!! All our money is taken up with paying carers!

Maybe perfume or nice soaps along with a lovely card thanking her for her excellent help and care ? Although a £20 note inside the card would save you the worry of deciding on a present and getting it on time ?

What is her taste in clothes? A scarf? a bracelet?

Penhaligans do nice stuff.

Nice soap?
