Jesus Cookie, is a small bonus for her hard work and servitude going to break your damm bank? Give her cash so she can buy whatever she needs that she can fit in her Balikbayan box.
Arent you on fair terms with your employer and you do get a bonus do you not? Why would this not translate to her? Cause she is a "servant" instead of a true employee?
They work for peanuts, a small bonus for her means a whole lot more than to you. Especially since you are going on vacation, its probably one less bottle of wine to you, to her she can buy essentials for her children.

and yes, by smallish we meant less expensive.
