    Gifts for RE/Clinic?

    Okay -
    Do/Did you guys send gifts to your Re's office or the clinic itself?
    Who exactly? (RE, RE's Office, Nurse, Embryologist)
    When? (If BFP? After Transfer? After Stims?)
    What? (Cookies, Flowers, Coffee?)

    I brought in flowers and bagels after my BFP as well as a thank you card. They were really greatful. They are always there and don't get many chances to get out of the office, so they were really glad. I just popped in before work and dropped them off.

    Hope this helps!

    I was thinking about sending them something after the ET before the beta b/c regardless of the results, they are wonderful and they should know that.

    I was thinking about flowers (if they allow them, I'll ask; some places are particular b/c of allergies) or candies, cookies, fruit basket.

    I like the bagel idea and coffee, there is a coffee shop nearby where I could get the stuff, and the planter idea.

    I sent a card, but didn't send gifts. I figured that my RE made a fortune off of me, so he didn't need any gifts. I did take in a birth announcement & the babies so they could see them. They absolutely LOVED to be able to see them. (I did it when there weren't any patients)
