Mazcabs, I do the postal survey as well, have you come up with any good ideas for the stamps? I've been doing the survey for 18 months or so and I've got hundreds of stamps particularly the large letter ones, apart from selling the odd book to my mother and sister they just pile up in the bureau.

Elle Gee normally I'd recommend getting a grobag, they really are brilliant but babies used to have to be a certain weight before they could go in them so perhaps not ideal yet for Rhys

cazscoob

how about a big fruit basket? or a selection of biscuits,tea,coffee, mags? then they would all get to take advantage over their breaks? apart from that im at a blank??? or even just a donation to the SCBU?

can i have info on the postal surveys please x

i bought bedding from toys r us and matalan and they have all washed up great and havent had any problems with them at all.

Elle...re the thank you cards, we took a photo of Rose and got some Bonusprint but I think most of the photo companies do them. I hope this works but this is the one we did

caz I had thought of doing a basket up for them, but wasnt sure. Do you think they would like a snack basket? I could put a box of chocs, some biscuits, some fruit and some other little bits and pieces.

elle, we are doing the same re the party. Hopefully we will still have a bit of good weather for about a week after Dylan is home as no one has met him yet since only parents are allowed into the NICU.
As for thank you cards, there are some lovely personalised ones on ebay that you can order
These are the ones like

And if you think of something to give the nurses, please let me know, cuz I wasnt too keen on the box of chocs idea either, and I only have 2 days to think of something !!!

I had photo thank you cards made for my wedding prezzies in Max speilmann.

My sister and the other medical peeps once got a cinema gift card from a patient, everyone liked that
Otherwise cake and biscuits generally go down well on her ward, I'd avoid fruit as it's a bit too perishable

There are usually some offers on the bags and tubs of nice snack things in M&S that might be good

ooh I'm so excited (how sad!)
I'm No.1 in my bejeweled leaderboard

my mum works in gynae theatre and they love it when they get things like that as a thank you! and as it will be left in the staff room they will all be able to get enjoyment out of it! just look out for BOGOFs and you will get loads for them!:T

sami i cant even get close to that x

Have PM'd Sami and Cascoob re royal mail surveys.... it sounds hard when you first get all the stuff but once you start its so easy and takes a couple of minutes a week.

MilliesMum - I dont have any brilliant ideas sorry, I give them to my mum and sister and use them for Christmas obviously plus OH uses them when he sends stuff on ebay... on the Postal surveys thread I think some people have managed to sell them back to the Post Office.... have you been on there? if not here is a link to the thread
