Labor & Delivery Thank You Tutorial!

As mentioned in this post, I wanted make baskets of snacks and treats for our labor & delivery nurses. After touring our hospital, I realized that I'd be moving from L&D to the post-partum recovery floor a few hours after giving birth. I decided to make two baskets, one for each nurses station, so that ALL of the nurses that take care of us know how much we appreciate their hard work! 

Here are the different goodies that I ended up buying:


Chocolate chip granola bars, Special K breakfast bars, fruit snacks, gum, Hawaiian Punch drink packets, snack size M&M's & an assorted box of cheese/peanut butter crackers. I got everything at Target, including the baskets (found in the Dollar Days section)

Here is everything assembled:



I found these silver sticker letters in the Dollar Days section at Target, and made the sign using those. I'm terrible at creating things on the computer, so this was an easier option. 

Obviously this is super simple to do, but hopefully it'll let our nurses know how much we appreciate them. If you will be at a smaller hospital, the individual bags are also a great idea, but since our hospital is pretty large, this was easiest to ensure all of them get some treats. 

I'll probably have Hubs run down the street and grab other goodies throughout our stay, but this will at least keep them satisfied in the interim! 

Enjoy!
