    what about a hamper for all the staff to share made up of all these great ideas:
    tea, coffee, nice biscuits/homemade cake (perhaps some mince pies for those actually on the Christmas day shifts), some nice fruit (for those on a diet), a big pack of black pens, mini notepads, some special handcream and a card telling them all what a great job they are doing.
  • My Mum is the manager in a residential home. They are allowed to accept gifts around the £5 mark. She loves getting little smelly sets. Chocolates are normally spilt between all staff, and flowers are left in work for everyone to enjoy. She also loves getting a really nice card. Most of her residents have been there for a while and their families tend to give her gift vouchers for Marks and Spencers, she loves this too....xx

    I agree with the hot drinks - nice teas and coffees or how about someof those boxes of ready made cappuchinos or lattes or hot chocolates (the Galazy instand hot chocolate is nice). Some home made cakes such as gingerbread or some home made biscuits such as shortbread or chocolate chip cookies would go with a hot drink.
  • I'm considering getting a gift of a magazine subscription for our local doctors surgery.
