I know a lot of you who read this are fellow working moms. And if that’s the case, then there are certainly people in your life who take care of your child when you’re not available to do so yourself. Our nanny Sydney (who is also my intern—more on that later!) has truly become a member of our family. She is with Jack twice a week and I swear he thinks she’s his big sister. Needless to say, I largely owe the success of my business to her and I am so, so grateful for the way she cares for Jack—which makes choosing a Christmas gift for her incredibly hard!

Of course I knew I’d be gifting her a handmade necklace, but that didn’t feel like enough. I wanted something special, personal and relevant to the amazing work she does for our family. And then it hit me: a photo gift from Artifact Uprising. Their products are modern and high quality and I knew I could create something she would love. I eventually settled on their wooden calendar and had so much fun choosing photos of Jack for each month of the year. I finished off the gift with a handwritten note thanking her for all that she does, and now that she’s opened it I’m happy to report that she loved it :)

What kind of gifts do you get for the caregivers in your life?
