My Aunt and her family watch my 17 month old two days a week at no charge (she wont accept my money anyway LOL). She and the kids are all wonderful with my daughter, and even went to old Navy and bought clothes for my little one (well she exchanged a few things and used the store credit she received to buy the outfits, they were having a sale), I think it's wonderful how gracious they are. What can I do to show my grattitude and love??

Think of them is there something they really enjoy? Give a gift from the heart. Make them something special, oh I know get a t-shirt and put paint on babies hands and feet prints you could take it down and have something printed on it first like you are always in my heart then put prints around it in the shape of a heart.
Are you crafty or artsy, make something do they have hobbies or special interests add something personal
Remember you are blessed with love and not all people are cherish what you have and care for it in return.

I think a genuine "thank you" means a lot more than any trinket you could buy for your aunt. Sit down and tell her just how much you appreciate her and give her a big hug. Then continue to be sweet and appreciative toward her. She has a helping attitude, so let her enjoy her niece, that's a gift in itself. Maybe a little bouquet of flowers from the grocery store would be nice too. :)

I think that family truly want to help family, especially when they see you reaching goals or making positive choices in your life. Continue to be sincere in your appreciation and to make good choices for you and your daughter to show that their help is truly thankful. Family don't want material things from family, which is why your aunt won't accept payment for her services. She probably enjoys her time with your daughter and feels protective of you and that she is helping you along in some way. Show her you are reaching goals and making a good, happy life for you and your daughter- make her proud!! If you do give her something, make sure it is from the heart, like a hand-written letter telling her how she has been a wonderful influence in your and your daughter's life and that you value her presence and the impact she continues to make!!! Sincerity is always felt more than the pocketbook. I think it's great that you see the positive influence she is in your life and want to make it known to her. Good luck to you and your daughter.

Take them out for dinner or cook a special dinner for them,sometimes the little things that we do go a long way.Buy a really nice card and write in it let her know how you really feel,words has so much meaning.and she can always go back and read that card.or find out what your aunt really want for a special day coming up and buy it for her.

Start by not abusing the fact that they do this for you.
If you go to WalMart, you can get this really great music cd thank you card.
Or find out what your aunt's favorite food is and cook her a surprise meal.

I shoveled snow off my sisters drive and walks today while she was at work - just to say "thanks"!
