You're forever indebted to her, the girl who makes it possible for you to maintain some semblance of a social life — your kids' favorite weekend babysitter. While she may show up ready to whip up chicken nuggets for dinner, push up her sleeves and get crafty, and agree to watch Frozen for the third Saturday in a row, it's safe to say that her tastes outside of your home are a bit more grown-up. Treat your deserving sitter to something special this holiday, and let her know how much you — and your kids — appreciate her.

Show that you appreciate her promptness and admire her style with a fashion-forward watch ($81). It's perfect for day or night, so she will get a lot of use out of this La Mer accessory.
"I'm a Babysitter" Mug
She's saved you many times, so show appreciation for your superhero sitter with this humorous mug ($11).
Triple C and Madewell iPad Case
This patterned case ($40) is sure to please your tech-savvy sitter. The faux-leather trim adds some sophistication to the fun patterns.
Sarah and Chloe Necklace
For something simple but personal, gift her a gorgeous monogrammed necklace ($98). If she's really close to your little ones, use their initials instead.
Tiny Prints Personalized Stationery
Who says snail mail is dead? A chic lucite box of monogrammed stationery ($16 for 10 cards) makes writing with a pen and paper fun again.
