The nurses (both labor & delivery, and postpartum) at the hospital are our heroes!
Since we had Arden, I've always put together some kind of "thank you" basket for our nurses & brought it with us to the hospital.
With Arden, I wanted to keep it healthy (after talking to a nurse friend who told me they get a lot of junk food!), so I packed up oatmeal packets, granola bars and fruit BUT I didn't actually get the baskets assembled before I went into labor, so we had a family member helping us put the baskets together at the last minute. Whoops. One other mistake we made was dropping off the baskets at the nurses stations right when we got there (one at L&D and one on recovery floor) but I'm not even sure we had our names on it. Whoops again.
With Turner I was slightly more prepared and actually got the baskets (of candy bars with cute tags) finished ahead of time! We also made sure to keep the baskets in our room so that we could tell every person who came into our room to grab a treat as a thank you.

This time I wanted to do something different and I settled on the idea of a cookie & coffee (thank you, Pinterest!). I liked the idea of a biscotti best & found individual cookies at Costco. I also found the Starbucks packets there. To assemble them I just used a piece of double sided tape and voila!
However, while I was at Costco I decided to add in some other options so all in all ended up with:
Trail mix
2 kids of granola bars
The biscotti cookie + Starbucks coffee
I'm happy with how they turned out!
And we loved having little treats to offer the nurses and staff who helped us during our stay at the hospital!
