In many cases, a gift is more about the gesture than the actual value or usefulness of what you are handing over to the other person. Giving a small present to
your Au Pair when he/she
arrives is a very nice gesture that will definitely be appreciated.
As time passes, you will also have to think about birthday and holiday presents for your new family member. We have collected some gift ideas that might help and inspire you.
This is an optimal gift if you want to give your Au Pair a special treat. You can easily choose your favorite piece between different designs!
You don’t know your Au Pair very well yet and will thus want to buy something that is practical or pleasant.
You will surely find some helpful tips here:
-
A guidebook covering the area you live in and the surroundings (including a map if possible)

A diary or notebook

A gift card for a local store, coffee house, cinema or a fun activity
-
A special cup/mug
-
Comfy home slippers
-
Nice shower gel and shampoo

Some sweets that are typical of your home country

A book about the history, literature or music of your home country
At this point, your Au Pair has already stayed with you for a while and you should know by now his/her personality and interests. You will be able to choose a gift that suits better your Au Pair’s personal preferences.
Does the Au Pair like gifts that have a high practicality or does she/he maybe prefer more sentimental presents with an emotional value?
