Good Gift for Haircutters?

December 20, 2005 7:34 AM

I'd like to get a small gift for the lady that cuts my hair -- ideally, something to share with her other five employees (all female). They are all very sweet ladies, and take good care of me, so I'd like to get something for her/them just to say thanks and show some holiday cheer. Ideas?

Best answer: I would say a nice box of chocolates or a small gift basket from a specialty foods store.

Yes, food is a good idea. Very practical and universal.

Candy Bouquets?

A tin of nice quality biscuits generally goes down well, perhaps more-so than sweets...

... and can I just say that when I initially read the question, I thought that you wanted to find a gift for your lady, and that the gift had to cut your hair. I then got confused by her having to share it. I love the English language!

holiday floral arrangement. red envelope has a nice paperwhite gift, among others, (doesn't work in firefox) but i get all my flowers from calyx and corolla.

although consumables are always nice, flowers and living plants are a good alternative.

Fruit basket.

I made up a basket for the wonderful staff of my doctor's office. I went to a bath and body store and picked up hand soaps and lotions in a bunch of different formulations and fragrances. This way, everyone could pick out something suitable. It seemed to go over well.
