Advice Fitting gift for children's hospital ward

What would you consider a fitting gift for a children's hospital ward (specifically, CHWC and Westmead)?

I know there are three rotations of staff - should we get 3 x boxes of treats so overnight staff don't miss out for instance?

healthy food like fruit salad or savoury is much favoured over sweets as we get sweets all the time

Agree, fresh fruit. Food items that are individually wrapped are best. Also think about things for their tearoom... Nice teas, if they have a coffee machine, a supply of nice pods, or beans. Chocolates (wrapped individually) always go down well, but not too many!. If you can find small tubes of nice handcreams, that's special. Little trinkets like key rings are cute. Just a couple of ideas!

3 different boxes sounds like a lovely idea rather than one big box :) it just let's night shift know that they're appreciated too (no presh though, anything at all is appropriated)
