Gift Guides 2020: Gratitude For Service & Childcare Professionals

This year has been one in which I for one, have become WAY more aware of how crucial, essential and insanely wonderful all the service professionals are in my life– from the UPS drivers, mail carriers, babysitters, baristas and of course, teachers.  So many of us relied so heavily on them for staying employed, sane, in touch and healthy.  SO be sure to thank them this. year with a little something if you can- a token of appreciation, or cash (most appreciated, I know, but not an option for everyone).

Here are some sweet little gifts for those who help you keep going day in and day out.

1. A nice mug to keep drinks hot this winter is always welcome- from the doorman to the delivery person.
