A gift for my surgeons?

Question

I want to buy a thank you gift for a couple of surgeons, both who have gone out their way for me. But I can't think of anything. I don't want it to be too personal, because of the whole inappropriate thing, but have no idea, apart from a box of chocolates!

Thanks

Answer 1

I have always worked in a doctors office and a food gift always goes right to the staff.  I agree with the last answer.  The best gifts that my doctors always got were gifts that were made by the patient for the office or what not.

Answer 2

When my son was hospitalized for chemotherapy or any other procedure that needed to be done we always brought gifts for the staff .. . food or candy is always a big hit. Once we bought every single different type of Hersey chocolate kiss that we could find . . mixed them up in colorful bags and handed them out. It really depends on your budget .. but their are places that create specialized cupcakes for occasions . . they loved that too.  And, photographs . . take a few and put them in frames or a little album for them.

Really, the best gift you could ever give them is to forever remain disease free . . that is all they want. But, I do understand how grateful you feel . . if you are able you might also consider donating to a cancer charity in their honor . .

We also sent a copy of a book that had been autographed by the writer . . that held personal meaning to the doctor (our son was in it).

I am sure that they will enjoy anything that you come up with. Its very thoughtful. Best to you.

Answer 3

A bottle of wine, or gift certificates to a fancy restaurant.

Answer 4

Buy them the game Operation - should give them a laugh!  

Answer 5

A gift from the heart is always the best. Do you have a hobby? If not how about grabbing some of the thicker paper at Michaels and some stamps and making cards? They are fairly simple, you'd only need 2 maybe 3 stamps at the most and some ink, and card stock.

Thanks, now that I've answered your question I know what to give the police officers who found my laptop and returned it to me. I'm going to make them all candles :) (Which is my hobby!) :)
