Finding a great babysitter is essential. When you discover that perfect, responsible, and always available sitter whom you and your kids both love, you need to do everything possible to keep them happy. (And guard their number under lock and key.) The holidays are the perfect time to show your appreciation—and win some brownie points…especially if you want her to come over on New Year’s. Here are some fun gift ideas. 
White and Warren’s Fingertip Glove ($55) is perfect for the babysitter who is addicted to her Blackberry or iPhone. These soft 100% cashmere gloves cover the hands for warmth and expose the fingertips for unfettered access to tiny keyboards and touchscreens. In three girly colors, these are as practical as they are fashionable.
Get her something as unique as she is—personalized stationery from Margot Madison Stationery. You choose the color, pattern, font and style, and personalize it with her name. There are a variety of products to choose from, including clipboards, notecards, stationery, and more.
For the total girly girl, choose the ultimate makeup collection. Sephora’s Ultimate Blockbuster Collector’s Edition includes 71 eyeshadow shades, 13 cream eyeshadows, five blushes, one compact, 60 lip glosses, one lip liner, one eyeliner, four brushes, and three sponge-tipped applicators, all packaged in a smart black case. The best part is the price—$48 (it’s a $320 value).
Another gift for the beauty buff is this totally cool blue and silver-hued limited edition Kat Von D True Romance Shadow Palette ($34). You might not know who Kat Von D is (reality star), or know that the artistic design on the box is modeled after her tattoo, but your sitter will. And even if she doesn’t, it’s still rockin’.
Give her the gift of warmth in a unique, hand-knit creation from Mayu. This site sells one-of-a-kind hoodies, scarves, shawls and hats crafted by Peruvian artisans. Far from your grandmother’s knitting, these creations are stylish and hip, and a unique addition to anyone’s wardrobe. Plus, they are offering free shipping until December 25th.
