Gifts for NICU nurses

magono20 · June 2015

We will hopefully be leaving the NICU this Sunday and I would love to send a thank you to all of our LO nurses who were beyond amazing to us.

Anyone been through this experience and have any ideas?

Congratulations on getting to take your LO home. I work in healthcare (albeit not nicu) and I can say that the most appreciated gift will be a sincere thank you card. It means so much to know that you've made a difference to someone's life, it really makes what you do worthwhile. As for a gift, food is always welcome - in my experience nurses and doctors are often so busy that they don't have time to take breaks and food gifts can be a lifesaver. Chocolate is probably the most commonly given gift, I would suggest for the sake of variety to consider giving something different - maybe a basket of baked goods or some pizzas for example would be amazing. But there's no obligation here, a thank you card is really the best gift of all.
