To ask for ideas of what I can buy/ get for my friend who is a nurse?

[Polkadotpjs]

I’m feeling so lost and anxious tonight. My neighbour has started working in critical care- a transfer to help out while all this is going on and she looked so upset tonight. We did the clapping and she looked exhausted and frankly shell shocked. The conditions aren’t ideal, she’s been left to do stuff alone that she needs supervising on and I wanted to hug her but can’t. What can I buy/ do for her to help? Flowers ? Make a meal - can we still do this? Cake? Wine? I want to make everyone better and sort things but can’t. I nearly cried at a family of 5 I saw at Sainsbury’s with kids whizzing about and the parents giving no fucks about the 2m rule. Sorry. This isn’t about me. I’m so lucky to work at home I just want to do something useful. What can I do instead of giving in to tears and panic?

Nursem hand cream is very good- and in stock! Specifically designed for health workers who are constantly washing their hands. And when you buy, they provide a month's worth of product to a nurse or midwife.

This is a lovely idea by the way :)

How lovely you are, OP.

(Yes, from experience. Mostly I can’t eat on shift and I often come home to a weird mixture of cupboard food).

I sent a Fortnum and Mason hamper to a friend. Not as expensive as you might think. You can choose what goes in it if you want.
It is probably the best money I have ever spent.
We can't go out for a meal now.
You can have a card put in with your own words.
My friend cried.

And I’m crying again. This is how she feels I’m sure. Shit scared and her husband looked fraught too. I feel so helpless and angry at the bloody non distance people or rule flouting. Still. Today is a day for action. I’ll get her something nice and we shall hug soon. Thanks all for agreeing this is ok to do ❤️

Step one complete. Lunch sent over and met very well. 😋

@Polkadotpjs, you are lovely.

Look at Edinburgh skin care company. I got some for Mother’s Day/congratulations on my new job (fast tracked 3rd year midwife - not how I envisioned joining the workforce) and their solid hand cream bar is amazing. My hands were a mess and they’ve cleared right up.

Hand cream, a voucher for a takeaway best her that will deliver,
I work in care i've got sore hands, dry hair and I'm time poor so anything that saves time a takeaway would make for an easy evening and would be more appreciated than chocolate

Chocolate brownies delivered are a good treat. As well as wine, food, bath stuff and hand cream,
