Perhaps a big jar of special Fairtrade coffee and special biscuits.

Hello x Hope your daighter is doing okay x

I'm a nurse and personally never tire of chocolates / biscuits - but don't forget to label them as I am constantly munching away on chocs and have no idea who bought them.

We have also had a basket of fruit - very yummy.
Posh tea / coffee for the staff
black pens - one patient bought us all a funny fluffy one each.
Some parents put money towards our work night out fund.
Bottles of wine.
One patient recently filled a basket with mini smellies and then left a note saying please take 2 things from the basket - this was very lovely.

We always love photo's of well children too!

I'd go for foot treatments - I'm not a nurse, but I am on my feet a lot of my wokring day, so reckon their feet would love some peppermint foot spray, moisturisers etc, they could pick the one they fancied form a little basket you could make up?

Hope your little girl is getting back to full health, and well done for remembering the nurses, it's easy to think of it as them just doing what they're trained to do, but as you say, many of them go way beyond that...

We regularly took in chocolates and 'bite sized' cakes for the staff to share during the time my son was in hospital. If they were fed up with them they showed no sign of this and everything got eaten very quickly. I know the chocoloates that proved the most popular were the slightly less common ones so maybe try to avoid the Quality Street, roses type.

Glad your little one is on the mend.

Just don't let the infection control nurses get wind of the food!

I am a nurse and chocs or biscuits are always appreciated......most wards have to buy their own tea and coffee so nice big tins of coffee and tea are also great ideas

we do get fed up with chocs and bisuits but apperciate them none the less, (most nurses i know can impress at christmas and tell which which choc is which when you've lots the little list that comes ith the box of chocies)

someone left a whole load of crisps and dips a few weeks ago for us they went down very well,

I am absolutely OUTRAGED that nursing staff have to buy their own beverages; that's an absolute disgrace. Every work-place I've ever been in has had free hot drinks of some kind and sometimes cold ones too. I know now exactly what I'd be making a parcel from if I ever needed to. When my mum was in hospital for a long time my sister and I took edibles into the ward for the staff every single day. I just wish I knew about the tea and coffee then

I gave PG teabags, Kenco coffee (decaf and regular), a bag of sugar, couple of bottles of squash and a yummy tin of luxury biscuits, all packaged up nicely when I had DD, sort of a 'break time hamper'.
