Christmas gift for a childminder

Months of wet snowsuits, naps and a small hand to hold on the way in through the door in the morning. It's the kind of thing you want to say thank you for.

We engrave the child's drawing, a picture or the names of the children in her care on a pendant in gold or silver. There is room for a message on the back. Engraving on the front and back is included.

If several parents are giving the gift together, write the children's names on the back – there is room for three lines. In the draft you can see how they sit before we engrave.

We engrave and pack the piece in Denmark.

Creative and fun gift ideas

Personalised gifts for a childminder

A personalised gift for a childminder can mean a lot. Consider a personal photo book that gathers memories from the year, or a piece of jewellery engraved with the names of the children she looks after. Gifts like these show that you have thought about her, and they can be appreciated for many years.

Practical gifts that make the day easier

Sometimes the right gift for a childminder is one that makes her day a little easier. Think of a thermos flask that keeps the coffee hot all day, or a good-quality calendar where she can keep track of all the children's activities. Practical gifts like these show that you have thought about what she can really use.

Self-care – a well-earned break

Childminders work hard every day, so why not give them a chance to relax and recharge? A gift card for a spa day, a massage or a relaxed dinner for two is a good way to give them a well-earned break. Even something as simple as a nice scented candle or a rich hand cream can bring a smile and a little self-care into a busy day.

We make Line-art from your own photo. See necklaces with a photo.

Leaving gift for a childminder

When your child moves on from the childminder, it is time to say thank you. A piece with the children's names, a drawing or a small handprint can be worn long after.

Why choose a personalised gift for a childminder?

A personalised gift for a childminder shows that you have put extra thought and feeling into it, which means more than a standard gift.

Øndig makes personalised jewellery: necklaces with a pendant in a gold or silver finish, engraved with what you choose. It can be the child's drawing, a picture, a handprint, the names of the children or a short text. See all our necklaces.

Really good service and beautiful quality

Really good service and beautiful quality. I have just ordered a pendant with the paw print of my dog, who has now passed away, as an everlasting memory. I contacted customer service because I was in doubt about which print was best for it. Here Ønding gave a really fast and qualified answer and assessment. I ordered the piece straight away, and asked for a draft first. 2 days later the most beautiful pendant was in my letterbox. It lived up to my expectations completely and more. 🤩

Super experience

Super experience ordering a piece of jewellery from Øndig. I had a picture of my dog, who has passed away, engraved, and was sent a draft before I ordered, so I was sure the result would be as I wanted. Customer service was super good and ordering and delivery went completely without problems. Thank you for a good experience and a beautiful piece of jewellery <3

I have had a completely fantastic experience!From the first contact, the service has been absolutely top class. Øndig have been incredibly accommodating, professional and so kind throughout the process of designing a piece of jewellery as a gift that I have ordered.They took the time to listen to my wishes, so that the result becomes completely personal and unique.I haven't received the jewellery yet, but I'm really looking forward to seeing the finished result – and if it just matches the service I've experienced so far, it can only be fantastic.It is definitely not the last time I order from here. The warmest recommendations from here!Julie

Top-class service

Top-class service. My partner had ordered a chain with our daughter's footprint, but got it ordered without text on the back. After a while I could feel I was sorry not to have it. So I wrote and asked whether it was an option to send it in and have it engraved. Now I have the loveliest chain with the print and text on the back 🙏

Super beautiful jewellery

Super beautiful jewellery. 😍There was admittedly a small error on one of the pieces, but customer service was lightning fast to reply to my enquiry. And within 1 or 2 hours I received a message that they had made a new one and it was already on its way 😍 To err is human, and then it is just wonderful to have such fantastic service!

Super good service!

I had a super good experience with Øndig. I needed to order a Christmas present for my mum of their two dogs' paw prints on two pendants. I had trouble getting any proper prints made, though. So I wrote to their customer service, after which, with the help of two pictures of the paws, they could send it on to their graphic designer. I got the loveliest pictures back, ready for engraving, and I only had to confirm and pay. Really good service!

Service above and beyond ❤️

Service above and beyond ❤️We ordered a piece of jewellery with the footprint of our late daughter, which, due to careless handling by the shipping company, was stolen on our doorstep. Øndig sent a completely new piece free of charge. That is not only outstanding service but also an expression of humanity. Bravo!
