If I had a good one I would maybe get something from the body shop. Or a nice bottle of wine and choccies. -------------

DH and I enjoy the occasional single malt whisky and it cropped up in conversation once with our MW that she did too. As she's Irish we got her a very nice Irish whiskey. And a home made thank you card with DS's photo.
I  'd my MW.

We got our MW some really nice handcream from Smith and Caugheys . . she mentioned once it's the one thing that MWs can never have enough of since they are always washing their hands to handle mums and NBs! Plus I remember she said the industrial strength soap at the hospitals is really harsh on your skin. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

There's a couple of threads on this http://www.ohbaby.co.nz/Forum/search.asp?KW=midwife&SM=1&SI=TC&FM=11&OB=1 - here with some good ideas 
You'll have to bypass the ones that aren't relevant, I don't know how to edit search results... ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

First time - a wicked necklace (which I have seen her wearing whne I didn't have an appt which is a good sign).
Second time - a funky wallet. Back up MW - 2 x Movie tickets and a bottle of wine. -------------

I think this is really cute
It's a doll brooch they sell on Etsy here's the link - http://www.etsy.com/listing/42579316/nurse-teresita - Etsy I think it's something cute and different. I'll probably get one for my next midwife  -------------

I think this is a lovely gift:
It's a Maori Koru necklace called Mother and Baby. A nice piece to wear. Here's the link to the page: http://www.shopenzed.com/maori-bone-mother-and-child-pendant-xidp107822.html |

I just bought our midwife gift yesterday......
Went for wonder thru Craft World at westgate (go the west!) and found a couple of ceramic korus - they mean new life, beginnings etc. thought she could have them either at home or in her rooms. Quite a good price to - cost the same as a decent bunch of flowers but last longer! |
