Boarding staff are the incredible people who support and care for our kids when we can’t be there. To show our appreciation, we’ve put together some thoughtful gift ideas from local and regional businesses.
This year’s guide includes unique finds like a personalised leather keyring, a beautiful tea towel, a sturdy pair of secateurs, and a wall calendar to brighten up their space. You might also consider a handmade trinket dish, a morning or afternoon tea platter, a coir door mat, a homemade Christmas cake, a jewellery box, or a quality cooking apron.
And don’t forget a handmade Christmas card to add that special touch. A small gift from the heart is a wonderful way to thank those who make the boarding journey a little easier.
