Family Forum / Parenting / Mothers / July 2005thank you gift ideas needed.
We are at our local pool almost every day, the girls are in swim class w/ great teachers. All of the lifeguards have been wonderful. I would like to give them a token of appreciation. However I'm not sure how many guards there are and probably couldn't afford to buy them each a gift. I considered taking them home made cookies, but they are all perfectly thin .. I'm not sure that would be wanted. Any ideas? I'm not sure that this matters but the age range seems to be 17 - 21. > We are at our local pool almost every day, the girls are in swim class w/ > great teachers.

A nice letter detailing your experience to the agency they work for (or their boss) with a copy to each of them might be appreciated. You might add to each of the individual copies: "If you ever need a job reference in the future, please feel free to list me." gloria p > A nice letter detailing your experience to the agency they work for > (or their boss) with a copy to each of them might be appreciated.

You could bring a party tray of something other than desserts-- some sandwiches, fruit, whatever. They're likely hungry with all that swimming.

Unfortunately, Kat, there aren't many people in this world as thoughtful as you are. Lifeguards rarely EVER get recognized! I highly second Gloria's suggestion but here are a few others: 1. A few $$ each to a local ice cream shop. 2. If they know the girls well, you could buy the plain wood picture frames at Michael's or another craft store and let the girls paint them and put a picture of the girls in it. Could you even go a step further and have the girls pose for a picture with each of the guards and then put THAT picture in the frame? 3. For the girls you could make a simple bracelet with stuff from Michael's or a similar craft store or have C&Z make them. If I come up with any other ideas, I will let you know! You are such a kind person to think about doing something like this and rest assured that ANYTHING you give them will really make their day! People don't give lifeguards too much credit, IMHO and they do much more than meets the eye! No, I'm not a lifeguard but I know TONS of people who are and my own brother is one. :) Good luck, Kat! -Kara. > Unfortunately, Kat, there aren't many people in this world as thoughtful > as > you are. shhh .. don't let anyone know ...
