A thank-you gift for a doctor or nurse
A fitting thank-you gift for a doctor or nurse is chocolate and sweets the whole ward can share, a vase of flowers for the clinic or the nurses' station, or flowers with chocolate to thank both. After a birth, surgery or days in hospital, some people deserve thanks: the doctor, the nurses, the whole ward, so keep the gift shareable, not personal. With chocolate and flowers you need not know anyone's taste, and Haddiyah delivers them to the hospital in Riyadh and Jeddah the same day, provided the recipient pins the building before 4 pm; these thank-you gifts are grouped by whom you want to thank.
For the whole ward: chocolate and sweets
The first hospital gift is one that is opened and shared by all: a large box of chocolate, baklava or petit fours at the nurses' station in the patient's name. See thank-you chocolate and choose the size that covers both shifts.
For the doctor: a vase for the clinic
A doctor's gift sits in their clinic: a vase of flowers in calm colours that arrives arranged and asks nothing of them. The card is in the patient's name, or your wife's and the baby's. See thank-you vases.
For both: flowers with chocolate
If you want one gift for the doctor and the ward together: a flower arrangement with chocolate, the flowers for the clinic and the chocolate shared among the nurses. See flowers and chocolate for thanks.
No number for the doctor?
The gift travels by the recipient's mobile, and most people do not have the doctor's. The way around it: enter your own mobile as the recipient, and when the link arrives set the hospital's location and the slot when you will be there, then collect the gift at the door and hand it to the clinic or the ward yourself. If you have the head nurse's or the clinic's number, enter that instead and it reaches them directly. The card is in the patient's name either way.
The link and location details are under send a gift without an address.
Before you send
- Chocolate for the whole ward, not for one nurse: a large box at the nurses' station thanks everyone and embarrasses no one.
- For the doctor, a vase that sits in their clinic in calm colours, with the card in your wife's and the baby's name, or the patient's.
- No number for the doctor? Enter your own mobile as the recipient, set the hospital's location, collect it at the door and hand it over yourself.
- Send it in the morning slot if the ward works by day, or ask a nurse when the whole team is in.
Frequently asked questions
What do I give the doctor who delivered my wife?
A vase of flowers for their clinic or a fine box of chocolate, with a card in your wife's and the baby's name. Personal gifts such as perfume do not suit a doctor unless you know them personally.
What do I give the nurses?
Something they share: a large box of chocolate or an assortment of sweets at the nurses' station in the patient's name. See thank-you chocolate.
I do not have the doctor's number. How do I send it?
Enter your own mobile as the recipient, set the hospital's location from the link, collect it at the door and hand it over yourself. Or ask the reception for the clinic's number if they allow it.
Does it arrive the same day?
Yes for a single gift when the recipient sets the location before 4 pm; it goes out in the evening slot of the same day. For a ward that works by day, choose the morning. Some gifts need longer to prepare. The time is on each gift page.
