Opinions on Presents

[Spixie33]

HI...just wondering what other daycare providers feel about parents who gift you daycare supplies.

If a daycare parent gifts you craft supplies for instance. Would you be happy or a little disappointed because the gift is more for the daycare and not for you. This week we will probably all receive some gifts and I wonder what are your favourites and whether craft/daycare items are a hit or a miss. I guess everyone would have their own opinion depending on what you like.

I am on the fence on this one. It is a wonderful gesture on one hand and the parent probably thinks they are doing a good service by saving us the money of purchasing the supplies but on the other hand I don't mind buying supplies myself because they are a tax write off and I can get stuff that I know I need as needed.

Just wondering what other providers feel on this issue?
