Holiday Gift



Hello everyone -
I want to bring something in for the staff/nurses/aids to share at the assisted living facility my parents are in. They have been wonderful caring for my parents. I feel funny bring in gifts for certain care givers, since I know there are a lot of unsung heroes working there that I haven't even met. Right now I'm planning on bringing a cheese tray to drop off in their lunchroom. Does anyone have other ideas? I really want to do something to express my thankfulness.
Thank you for your help!

Check with administration. Most places have a mechanism for you to contribute to an employee appreciation fund. Some places discourage other gifts so it's worth checking.

Thanks @MN Chickadee for your help. I did speak to the director and they don't have a fund for the employees. I came up with the idea of buying Chery's Cookies. They are individually wrapped and thought they might be a nice treat. I'll put a note of my appreciation as well. Thank you for the link to the other suggestions.
