I have a dog walker come and take my dog out 1 day a week, I would like to get her and her assistant a Christmas gift but want something different to chocolates etc...
I thought about getting a gift card for a drive through coffee shop near me, unless anyone has a better suggestion?

I'm sure they would prefer cash

It is tricky knowing what other people might like, but I'd wonder - I don't know - how useful a drive through coffee shop is to dog walkers? Do you know if they use that cafe? I'd want to go for one I was sure they'd use?

Do you know if they have families / children? I've sometimes bought cinema vouchers for friends when I know they like going. For my gardener I usually do a small hamper of goodies for her and her family, because I remember what fun my boys used to have opening hampers in the past.

Decent pair of gloves? Thermal socks?
Depends on your budget

Just had another thought: I love getting a calendar. I'd give a dog walker a favourite breed (if known) calendar.

I realise not everyone likes calendars as much as me. Reminds me of my dad, he was in the print trade and was always given lots of calendars at Christmas...

It's a tough one especially if you don't know your dog walkers personal likes or dislikes.  I have found a website that has some fantastic gifts for nearly every ocasion and to suit a huge variety of tastes (it has been my go to place for gifts).  www.giftbee.co.uk (and their prices aren't to bad either)
