gift for young women image
light head
Within the last year and a half she has translated for me numerous times, and I thought it would be nice to get her a gift. I want to get her a gift that is respectful to her as a young woman and that respects her and her families economical ways of living.
I dont want to go with "make up/perfume/gift card"
any ideas?
Answer
I would like to suggest giving her multiple things:
1) Something she can share with her family, because she's relatively young and ostensibly works for you with their blessing. This could be a meat, cheese, & cracker basket, a fresh fruit basket, etc. If you're particularly gifted in the culinary arts, you could bake cookies or a couple of pies. Here, you're providing a chance for her family to show gratitude to her for doing good volunteer work.
2) Something "just for her". I would break the etiquette stigma (and your pre-emptive statement!) and go with a clothing store gift card. Something she'd go to a mall with her friends and look at anyway. Gap, Express, Banana Republic, etc. And in a denomination that she could pick one nice item out and have it paid for. I think it's easy to forget that what we wore to school had a large effect on how we were treated by our peers. In this sense you'd be providing for her social status and self-esteem.
3) Something personal, from you to her. This would most likely be a thank-you card with a handwritten note detailing how much she's helped you and how grateful you are for her. This may end up being a keepsake for her, and would also re-enforce her self-esteem and provide positive feedback on her volunteerism.
Thank you for showing your gratitude to someone who is so deserving of it. Keep up the good work.

What would be a nice gift to give a young 16 year old hispanic female who helps me translate from time to time?

Answer
If you want to go over the top and get her a very nice girt then get her a ipod touch or the new ipod nanos but if you are not looking for something to expensive maybe clothes that they like. If they like sports then maybe a jersey.
