Hi all, I would like to give a thank you gift to my Obs and midwife when I go for my 6 week check up. I was a very nervous FTM throughout my pregnancy and both my Obs and MW were so fabulous and reassuring. I'm just stuck for ideas... Did you give your team a gift? What was it? Thanks

I just gave mine a card and a big bunch of flowers (for my OB and his midwife), and I'll do the same again but maybe add some chocolates or something because it will probably be my last baby.

Most give a card with the babies foot print and a photo.

My war paint is Sharpie ink
A jar of lollies that can be placed in the staff area and shared.

I thought paying the bill was thanks enough.

DH agrees that paying the bill is thanks enough but I really would like to do something more...

I always liked the baby name book that it was in the waiting room at my ob's office, and one of the receptionists told me once that it was a gift from a mum after she had her bub... more for the office than the doctor though I suppose... Maybe a nice glass jar with some lollies in it so the jar can be re-used?? This post has been edited by ~Nic~: 14/02/2013, 04:21 PM

I sent an email thanking all the staff and attached some nice photos of my DS, but a card and chocolates sound like a lovely idea. Hmm, might give a card if there is a next time!
