I decided to pick things that I would like if I was a nurse. I also asked friends who worked in the hospital field. So, here is what I decided to put in the goodie bags!
Bottle of water
Hand Sanitizer
Luna Bar
Crystal Light Energy Powder Drink
Gum
Jolly Ranchers
Hershey Kisses
Breath Mints
Thank You Card
I purchased the bags (10 for $5) and Thank You Cards at Target. The String, Tags, Stickers, Stamp and Ink were purchased at Joanne’s Craft Store. Assembling them was a breeze and they looked really cute!
I decided to add a few things to my Photographer, Midwife Friend and Case Managers Bags!
Bottle of Water
Crystal Light Energy Powder Drink
Lindor Truffles
Chocolate
Jurgens Lotion
Tissue
Milano Cookies
Hand Sanitizer
EOS Lip Balm
Thank You Card
I made 15 bags to take to the hospital, 3 for my friends, 6 for L&D Nurses and 6 for Postpartum Nurses. I had my husband put them on the counter in my room and let every nurse that came into my room and helped us, could grab a bag! I’m not gonna lie, the nurses that came into my room and were a part of this day were incredible! It could have been from the goodies, but either way, they were so caring and that made our day that much sweeter! My Postpartum Nurses were very grateful also. From what I heard, they always get left out. I wanted to make them feel appreciated too! I wish I would have thought of this when I was pregnant with my own kids!
I purchased the hand sanitizer, mints, gum and tissue in the Travel section of Target. The Luna Bars were 6 packs and were on sale. Milano Cookies were a BOGO! The candy was on sale because of Easter!
