Thank You gifts for hospital staff

[omniflow]

I'm fairly sure this topic has been covered before, but I don't have the time or the energy to search for it right now.

My Mum is currently in ITU and being looked after brilliantly (with the occasional rare exception). She will definitely still be in ICU on Xmas day. She is an ex-Nurse and in her day it was all wine and chocolates from grateful patients.

However, I am aware that the world has moved on massively, and ideally I should be looking for more inclusive things to show appreciation, so I would welcome any ideas of what I can give to the ITU "pod" on Xmas day from my Mother, that I can buy tomorrow without totally taking over my day.

I have already liberated 6 bottles of pink prosecco and various boxes of chocolates from her house, but feel I need to add to this. Budget is not the primary concern, but it needs to be "appropriate", and it also needs to be easily accessible. I've got a 4 hour round trip to see her tomorrow and my own kids arriving late afternoon so I don't want to set off on some kind of odyssey.

At this time of year when there is so much chocolate, I find our team really appreciate a good fruit basket, nice coffee and decent tea. We always like hand cream too.

Thanks for this - a fruit basket I understand totally - tea / coffee, are we talking tea bags and instant or fruit teas and exotic beans.

Likewise hand cream - something Scandinavian and utilitarian or more like Clinique and chintzy?
