I want to do something nice
I am going on vacation for a week and my neighbor has offered to water my garden and vegetables while we are gone. She is an older lady, not elderly but older. She lives next door, but we have a lot of land so it will be a hassle for her to come over and get out the hose, then roll it up again...but she offered and I need the help so I accepted.
My question is, I want to do something nice for her in return but I don't know what. I was thinking maybe a gift card to a grocery store or Wal Mart, but how much $$ is appropriate? Thanks for your advice!

A gift card is a good idea. I think for a week maybe between $30-$50 would be good. You could also try picking her up something while you're on your vacation. Or maybe a giftbasket/fruitbasket type of thing, or a dessert. A thankyou card would probably make her feel happyy too! I hope i helped! :]

That is a great idea, gift cards are always appreciated. I think about $30.00 to $50.00 will be plenty. Other gifts you might try is making dinner for her, or some kind of dessert. It shows that you really appreciate the deed she did and that you wanted to do something a bit more personal. Other ideas are fruit baskets, nick-knacks, antiques etc. Good Luck!

a gift card is a great idea! but if she is older, she might appreciate a more meaningful present... like some sort of ornament, or decoration...but a gift card will definitely work! have a great vacation!

I think you should definately show your appreciation for your neighbor. A gift card is a good idea and I think that maybe 40$ is appropriate. It is hard for a lot of people to take care of a lot of land and especialy for an older lady. Maybe you should also bake her a cake or some other baked good. Hope I helped!!!

I would give her a gift certificate for about $50-60. Like you said, she's doing alot and usually people don't offer to do it, and you're usually the one to ask THEM. She seems very sweet. I would also invite her over to your house for dinner and make a nice meal. Make sure you thank her in person too.

since she offered to do it, any amount you give her would probably be appreciated. If you can't spare that much money (or even if you can) if might be nice to present the gift to her with a basket of vegetables from your garden or a bouquet of flowers, just because she helped work on them.
You could also get her a bottle of wine, gift set teas/jams whatevers, day pass to a spa, or something she's interested in if you can't settle on an amount.

I'd suggest around $50. I'd also bake her something and maybe even take her out to dinner. Show her that you rally appreciate it! Hope this helps!

maybe you should get her a giftcard... around $50 and maybe bring her something back like one of those gift shop things that you think she might like or bake her some cookies. <3

Well my family and I went on a vacation for 2 weeks and they watched our dog, and we paid them about 100$. so I would say around 50$
Hope I helped!

First of all, that's really sweet; both on your part and hers.
For the gift card, it depends on how much you're willing to spend. I was going to say maybe like $45. I think that'd be how much I'd get her.
Something I'd suggest is you could try cooking her dinner to show her you appreciate what she's done for you. Cookie baskets are nice too (or a basket of body wash things).
