[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 486470, member: 2211"] [COLOR=#008080][SIZE=2]I don't know if anyone here has to worry about this but I thought I would share what I'm doing for the health care staff that cares for my mom at the nursing home. I allocated roughly $125 ($100 of it from my mom's account that has a balance due to a refund she received for an overpaid bill from last year) to buy small $5 gifts, so 25 gifts. I actually was able to get a couple of things for less, so I will have two or three extras. I am going to wrap each one individually (the men's style gifts will be marked but it's mostly women) and put them in a bag and bring them in and just have the staff do a 'grab bag' type of thing. I want to express my gratitude to these wonderful people some how and they always receive a TON of baked items and candies, so my therapist gave me this idea and it sounds fun. This way I am not favoring anyone or singling any one out and also just not adding to the pile of sweets that line the nurse's station every year. I bought a single cup brewer for $6, a couple of pairs of those stretchy gloves, a travel mug, a few note pad sets with journals, a really cute organizer, one of those pancake mixes in a bag that comes with a spatula, $5 gift cards to daughter, Starbucks and Panera, and I thought I'd also throw in a couple of jars of my canned chutney. I will still give them a tray of my specialty holiday cinnamon nut twirls, but I thought this would be fun. I'm excited because I think so many of them will have fun with it, even if they don't get something spectacular (they could always trade amongst themselves, right?). Does it seem cheesy? Am I deluding myself? Hahaha[/SIZE][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
