Gift idea for case manager, SW etc

We became very close to our agency's case manager, since their office is only 30 minutes from our house. She was a big part of us getting our Hannah home, so here is the gift we made for her from Hannah.

We went to a "pottery making" place...got a platter, put Hannah's footprint in the middle...put wings and a halo on it, her name under it, and around the rim we wrote "You are my angel".
We gave it to her today, and she just LOVED it! Thought I would pass the idea along to those who's case manager/SW has become "part of the family".

Oh yes, and then we just wrote a "thank you" from our family on the back....she couldn't stop thanking me and hugging me. These poor case managers get the brunt of so much stress...they get the pressure of problems they have no control over..mine sure deserved it!!
Glad you liked the idea... Can't wait till you have alittle foot to put on that plate!!

When Hannah saw the plate...(we were sitting on the floor with our CM) she kept putting her foot on it! Itwas quite funny!
