Souvenir for neighbor watching house?

[minnie1012]

Hi Can anyone recommend a good souvenir that we could get for our neighbors watching our house? They will be taking care of our pool, watering outdoor plants and vegetable garden. They aren't Harry Potter fans and are in their late 50's early 60's. They have 2 kids, 18 & 15. If anyone has any ideas that would be great! Thanks!!

I think a gift certificate to a local place unless they really like tshirts and stuff from places they haven't been.

Donuts! Either a Big Pink (or two) or some from Voodoo Donuts.

I bring them home for my work and they are always appreciated. Just make sure that you bring a wide bottom bag to carry them in and plan on putting them under the seat in front of you (assuming that you are flying)

I like the donut idea, or any of the other pre-packaged food items that are easy to transport. To me, anything else would just be a dust collector. We always get our family pre-package rice krispie treats and candy from Disney. Universal has similar treats.

I pay a gal to come get my mail, water my plants and keep an eye on things. We pay her $7-$10 every time she comes over. I like the idea of a gift certificate for a dinner and you don't want them to feel it wasn't enough to where they wouldn't want to do it again.

I love the donut idea but food might be hard since we are going to visit friends in south Florida afterwards and are driving home not flying. We always get each other something from the place we are at when we watch each others homes. They won't accept a gift certificate I know that. I got them a Dunkin Donuts gift card because they drive my daughter to school every day. They don't have to she can take the bus. She drives her daughter due to her daughter's anxiety so she takes my daughter as well. I thought it was a nice gesture to get her the Dunkin card since they stop there sometimes on the way to or from school but she gave it back (more than once) so I stopped arguing! Lol So I know they will accept something from a place they have never been so I wanted to do that. I can also look in South Florida. Thank you!
