Small thank you gifts for NHS ward staff?

[Teaseall]

I'm fairly skint at the moment but I would like to give some small thank you token to the nhs ward team that have been looking after my elderly mum.

I don't know everyone who has been involved in her care or even how many people. Other than a tub of chocolates, please hit me with some suggestions ....

Biscuits, cake, tea bags. Anything that they can share together on a break.

Agreed, biscuits and tea bags

Nice biscuits

Following for ideas, I need to do the same 😃

A packet of good quality black pens.

A pack of biros - we go MAD for biros!

Biscuits or cake for coffee break. I took some baklava when my niece was extremely ill, they saved her life. They loved them.

Ok, so biscuits,cake , teabags ... I presume it would be good to include some gluten free goodies for those that are. Biros & pens in general ... what about some mini hand creams or similar? Or is tha5 too personal?

And fruit teabags or just bog standard builders tea?

Hand creams can't be shared for infection control reasons.

PENS!

Having just had to look this up, make sure the value is clearly under £25 or it needs to be declared and can't be accepted.

Black pens

I think that some clever American nurse suggested black pens up thread. 😁

I like the Pilot roller balls myself.

Nice coffee sachets.

Biscuits, cakes, a fruit basket? A nice hand cream as well, to the PP poster who said hand creams can’t be shared I’ve just come off a Covid ward (I’m a student nurse) and they have loads of (pump action) hand creams floating around for the staff to use so the rules must be different depending on the trust. A nice thank you card or an email to pals just to compliment the ward would be greatly received as well

Oh yes and pens!

I got a box of biscuits for the ward staff when my daughter was in ICU. You can get catering boxes of individually wrapped biscuits on Amazon which are perfect for staff rooms: www.amazon.co.uk/Border-Biscuits-48-box/dp/B00F6YL0S6/ref=mp_s_a_1_3_mod_primary_new?dchild=1&sbo=RZvfv%2F%2FHxDF%2BO5021pAnSA%3D%3D&keywords=wrapped+biscuits&sprefix=wrapped+&tag=mumsnetforu03-21&qid=1627367457&sr=8-3

You can get Krispy Kreme doughnuts delivered nowadays, I think they would go down very well!
