Gifts for nurses

Tea & Coffee is always appreciated.

Squash/tea/coffee always loved that as a nurse. We get so many sweet treats.

You can never ever go wrong with food for those of us in the Heath profession, we are gannets 😳
What I would say though is that the thing most appreciated is a thanks. Especially if it is in a card. It can also be used in a nurse/midwives revalidation and appraisals. They last a lot longer than a well received box of chocs or biscuits

What about a lottery ticket or a scratch card for each of them?

I’m sure chocolates and cakes are gratefully received but they must get loads of them .

When I managed nursing homes I always divided stuff in to day night catering office and domestic and maintenance
Except for wine gums they were mine all mine
Nice tea coffee squash are always appreciated as are things like a box of crisps just something to grab and go
One year we got a toaster a toastier maker and a kettle for the staff room best ever it mentbwe could actually get off the floor for our whole break instead of trying to use the kitchens in each unit
But just a thankyou is the best ever

We used to make up a fresh fruit hamper/box for the staff at MiL's care home and they always said they really appreciated that. It was put in the staff room for everyone to help themselves to.

When my Mum was in hospital before she passed away a few months ago I handed in various thank you packs to the different wards she was in. They included boxes of the individual packets of hot chocolate, mocha coffee, fruit teas etc together with boxes of brunch and snack bars, multipacks of crisps and wrapped fruit sweets. One was addressed to the day staff and one to the night staff and they were much appreciated.

My Mum used to phone me and ask for me to hand in more "bribery packs" as it meant she got more wee chats with the nursing staff!

Oh the joys of coming in for a night shift to find a tin of chocolates with only the green triangles and orange creams left.

A laughing smiley doesn't seem quite right somehow but I know what you mean!

They’re my favourites but have often gone on shift to find a large tin of quality street with only the toffee ones left... or worse still found an empty box labelled night staff when the day staff have snaffled the lot...
