I don't know about chocolates. It depends on the doctor as to whether that would seem weird. A nice card would certainly be appropriate and thoughtful. Send a card for sure.

For emphasis, I think this is both appropriate and a great idea.

Wine, good coffee beans, gourmet quality food product that might be a treat he wouldn' buy for himself. But the greatest gift for the person who has everything, is a heartfelt letter thanking them for what they've done for you and expressing how much it means to you and how grateful you are for their assistance.

I get a lot of chocolate. Love it. Especially with a nice note.

Absolutely agree. And add to your possibilities list a Starbuck's card.

Have you seen the recent paper in the British Medical Journal. "Survival Time of Chocolates on Hospital Wards"? Exceptional scholarship 😉

Avoid gift cards. It's tacky and not thoughtful. Anything food related is a great idea. Just don't give wine if u r underaged lol

100% agreed. I posted a rant elsewhere about how I think gift cards are a weak gift.

Absolutely! Chocolate really is the coin of the realm at nurse's stations both here and abroad. More study definitely indicated.

I agree that a thoughtful card expressing your thankfulness is more than enough.
If you want to give something more that is up to you but I would be careful about some things. For example every year I am inundated with wine and I frankly probably drink less than a bottle per year . It ends up either being regifted or sitting on my shelf for ages. So know your audience.

"Every year I am inundated with wine"
That sounds like a deluge I would not mind being caught in

LOL... I also get a deluge of Starbucks cards and I don't drink coffee either. So come on over, there's plenty to drink at my house!
(lest it sound like I am a teetotaler please do not misunderstand: I'm more of a cocktail and hot tea sort of gal than wine and coffee.)

I've never purchased their coffee, either, but they carry some terrific banana walnut bread.
