 Topic: Ideas wanted - Gift for Midwife

Can anyone suggest what I should get for my midwife? I have already brought a small box of chocolates and was going to get a thank you card.
What have you given your midwife? All ideas welcome.

I got mine a wicked necklace as she always had really cool ones on so knew she liked them. It was a gorgeous hand made mother of pearl and crystal one. I loved it sooo much I brought myself one too 
I was very keen to get something cool as wanted to use her for round two as she is very popular and always booked so I figured a good present may keep me in

I gave my postnatal MW a pair of earrings and a thank you card.
For the MW that delivered bubs, who is also my doc, I gave a crabtree & evelyn body wash and moisturiser with a pouffy thing in a nice toilet bag
ETA I took notice of the jewellery my postnatal MW wore and chose the earrings based on that

We gave my m/w a huge basket of home-made cakes, fruit and nut loaf, buscuits and sweets. My darling Mum made it all for her as Mum had witnessed her be such a supportive and caring person to me when I was really struggling with those horrible baby blues! She really went out of her way for me!
Thanks to my darling Mum, my m/w absolutely loved it!

we got our M/W (who delivered both our babies) a gold charm of a stork, cos she was our "stork". She wears it on her gold necklace she always wears.

we gave our midwife for our first birth a massage voucher and our second birth a bendon voucher. The things that you never buy for yourself and we would all love to receive.

I gave my MW from DD a Palmers voucher as she loves gardening and some flowers.
I don't really know what to get this time as my MW who I had through my pregnancy didn't deliver my baby as she went on leave (i was too late, hehe). I had her back up for birth and postnatal care. So maybe I shold just get them both a little something?

At the six week final sign off we gave our MW just something small to show our appreciation. We gave her a bottle of wine, a photo of Brooke, and we have free range chooks so gave her some eggs. We just hand them out to visitors when we get a surplus.
