Gifts for doctors
When the question arises, to whom else give a gift for the discharge from the hospital, in the head come to mind, of course, doctors and medical staff. Obstetricians, doctors, nurses - all of them create a positive atmosphere around the mother and child.
The hands of the obstetrician are the first to take the baby. Naturally, the parents, and especially the mother, want to thank the hospital staff. Instead of the standard set of candy and flowers, you can give more original gifts for the discharge from the hospital:
- A grocery basket. Fill the basket with snack foods, cheeses, sausages, a good kind of tea or coffee. Don't forget sweets and alcohol;
- A set of tableware is a necessary thing in any team. Even more original the gift will look if you pick up a tea or table set with children's themes, such as painted storks;
- Home appliances. If mom, being in a maternity hospital, noticed the lack of any appliances in the staff, such purchase will be a necessary gift for the team. It can be a kettle, a microwave, a coffee machine or a mini fridge;
- Bouquet from sweets, nuts, dried fruits or berries. Such bouquets are now at the peak of popularity, please the staff of the maternity hospital with an unusual format of edible bouquet;
- Basket of cosmetics. Maternity hospital staff are mostly women who want to look attractive and well-groomed. A set of various creams, masks, shampoos, lotions and other body care products will never be superfluous;
- Organize lunch delivery for employees. Most often the staff is given candy, sweets, and fruit, but getting a full hot meal would be a real surprise. You can arrange delivery of pizza, sushi or pies.
Bouquet for discharge
No maternity hospital discharge can do without a bouquet of flowers. Florist stores offer a wide range of flowers and ready-made floral compositions, and Florist-Consultant will gladly help you to choose. What you should pay attention to when choosing a bouquet for a woman in labor:
- flowers should not have a strong odor;
- Flowers should not be colored with artificial dyes;
- the package should not contain small details, strasses or sequins;
- do not take a huge bouquet - it may be difficult for the mother in labor to hold it in her hands;
- Recognize the baby's mother's favorite flowers or favorite color scheme.
Consider the options of floral arrangements in baskets or boxes, such bouquets tend to be longer pleasing to the eye, and, in addition, they will be a great decoration of the interior.
If the apartment of new parents does not allow you to place a lot of bouquets, we advise you to give preference to edible bouquets of berries, candy or fruit.
Such a bouquet, on the one hand, looks no worse than a flower bouquet, and on the other - it does not have to be moved around the apartment from corner to corner, as already at the first family tea party you can eat all the ingredients.
