Non-innkeeper here.
My girlfriend is looking to get her parents (both innkeepers at a small seasonal B&B in Maine) something nice for their birthdays/mothers/fathers day -- a combined gift of sorts. They both work very hard during 'the season' and don't seem to find much time away from the inn. Something like a restaurant gift certificate, although well meaning, is difficult for them to use since one of them almost always has to remain at the inn. By the day's end, they are often worn out from the day's work and don't eat as well as they should. We had considered something like blue apron as a way to make meal planning and eating easier for them, but we aren't sure this is a good fit.
Which brings me to our question. What makes a useful and thoughtful gift for the hard-working innkeeper?
Cheers,
