Gift for coworkers (docs/nurses/staff)?

I'm heading to medical school this August and I am leaving a job I have held for nearly two years in a pretty large family practice. It's a fairly tight-knit friendly group, and I essentially feel like we're all one big family.

Anyway, I'll be leaving in a week or so, and I was thinking of getting some sort of gift (or gifts) for everyone to basically say "thank you." The opportunity I had to work there is, in my opinion, one of the big reasons I got into medical school. I basically want to let them all know that I appreciate all their help and that I'll miss them when I leave.

Any ideas for general gift ideas that won't seem to lame/sappy? The only thing I could really think of was just a generic flower arrangement with a thank you note and have it delivered.

TehDoc is right, booze is the optimal farewell gift.

Hmm, good idea. I know next to nothing about wine. Any suggestions? I'm not trying to break the bank but I also don't wanna drop off a bottle of Arbor Mist either.

Whats wrong with arbor mist?

You say you were at a family practice? Okay, go out and get them some Grey Goose. That way they'll be ready when this medicare thing gets even more ****ed that it already is.

Eh, I'm not really a fan . . . not trying to offend anyone's tastes, but to me it hardly passes for wine.

It's better if you mix it with ginger ale... but then the alcohol content goes to pot.

Girl wine.

Girl wine.

As opposed to all other wines which are inherently masculine?

Arbor mist is a wine cooler trying to pretend it is refined and classy.

Touché.

Could try free movie gift certificates? If they don't get out much to go to the movies you could try restaurant gift certificates instead.

i think buying lunch for the whole office would be your safest bet.

 

[Lukkie]
