We traveled last year and this is what we took.

2 - Bath and Body Lotions - for the Nanny at Orphanage

2 - Group gifts - American Chocolate - This is for the Notaries. They were unimpressed and pretty much said so.

I waited until after Valentine's Day and I purchased the gift bags at a discount - they were red bags and tissue. They had a nice plastic feel and they traveled well. I got them at Target.

We did not give a gift to the guides because the tip was already included.

I read online that they do not look at the gifts. Oh don’t worry about the gifts… not our experience... the Nanny looked at the gift and also put who it was from. Lets just say I wish I had brought more to express my appreciation. I was thinking less of the gift and more on what packed well.

I have learned from this and will put more thought into it next time.
