As if I don’t have enough going on before giving birth, I had to add gift baskets to my list. When Sawyer was born, I made little gift bags for the nurses that helped us throughout labor and delivery. But after asking around, I realized a big gift basket might be the way to go this time. Much easier for me, except perhaps carrying it into the hospital while in labor maybe…

Should we take a little poll as to if we’ll even remember to bring this basket when we’re on our way to the hospital?!

I asked a few nurses what they’d like to see in their gift baskets and went on my way. I think I overdid it a little bit, especially because some of the stuff I bought didn’t even fit in the basket I bought. But I’m sure Sawyer won’t mind eating all of the extras!

Basket Fillers:

Non-food items: pens, lotions, nail polish, bath bombs, nail files, hair ties/scrunchies, face masks, mini flashlights, hand soaps, hand sanitizer (and holders/clips), lanyards, Epsom salts, water bottles.

Food items: coffee/tea (and gift cards), gum, custom nurse cookies, apples, oranges, crackers, cookies, lifesavers, candy, granola bars.
