Airehead Posted July 16, 2018 Share #1 Posted July 16, 2018 Even in my sleep deprived state I know it is risky to ask you all for ideas but I am going to do it anyway. The team taking care of ZZ Irvine has been absolutely amazing. (That is the fake name they registered him under becuase of all the news interest a plane crash brings.) Any way-- I sent the team Insomina cookies yesterday. THe get delivered warm and yummy. They thanked me but I was thanking them. What should I give them today? I was thinking a fruit basket- is that cheesy? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerrySTL ★ Posted July 16, 2018 Share #3 Posted July 16, 2018 WoJSTL is a nurse and appreciated almost any kinds of foods. Cookies were a great idea. Fruit basket is another good idea on your part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
late Posted July 16, 2018 Share #4 Posted July 16, 2018 Pizza. If you have a really good gelato place, a tub of gelato. Chocolates, if you don't have a really good choclatier in town, try Len Libbys. Their dark chocolate covered cashews are really good. Same with the Needhams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Posted July 16, 2018 Share #8 Posted July 16, 2018 One tip is to try to make sure you time things so both the night and day staff get something. For daytime staff, muffins/donuts are good. For evening staff, chocolate covered pretzels can be fun and snacky. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsharr ★ Posted July 16, 2018 Share #9 Posted July 16, 2018 The two most memorable gifts like that I have gotten were a fruit basket from Edible Arrangements and chocolate covered fruit from Sherries Berries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddmaxx ★ Posted July 16, 2018 Share #10 Posted July 16, 2018 Chocolate dipped strawberries sound good but they are a pain to make, what with the melting and the cooling. What coffee shop do they have in the hospital? If it's by any chance a chain brand you could get them gift certificates. If none of these things work, possibly kid gloves so they can safely handle Mr. Air when he's cranky. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've already used up my Prime Day budget and I missed that one. I bought a new Trail Camera for womaxx because she enjoyed the last one so much. Hopefully a step up and although it wasn't listed in Prime Day sales there was an extra 20% prime day discount in the cart at checkout. This one is a 20 MP camera with more infrared flash and a longer range. And yes, I also bought myself a replacement monitor for my years old LCD monitor on the computer in the secret lab.......not to late's gamer specs, but one of Amazon's best sellers. One good thing........after Mr. Air comes home and the hookers and blow are all used up I'll still have my stuff so maybe it's ok that I missed them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then at 11pm. The team will get this. I think that covers all shifts. It might be cheesy but we think they are fabulous.

It is a common joke I pull the "poor me" on my wife. After my recovery and released from outpatient day surgery, wife drove past a Krispie Kreme on the way home. I, of course, acted like I really really wanted some (even though I didn't) but she kept on driving. Now, it is something that "if you really loved me, you would have ..." She rationalizes that I had enough glucose from the IV...but...but...but...it was Krispie Kreme!? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did however get a passel of poop from the family member of another patient in the loop. She walked into the hall with me and asked why I had that many doughnuts. I offered her one. She took it. Then she asked what I was doing with the rest again. I said that I was giving them to the staff for their break room. To thank them. She said, "Why the hell woud you do that. You pay enough to have your husband in this Hotel of Horrors." I wasn't even sure what to say but I was glad that she wasn't coming to visit Mr. Aire.
