Gifts for L&D Nurses

I've seen so many cute things on Pinterest about having little gifts for the Labor & Delivery Nurses and I think that's such a great idea!
 
I don't know if you read Dear Person Reading This blog.. {if not, you totally should..}
But she posted something really cute that she did for her nurses too and it really got me thinking about it! You can find her post HERE.
 
I wanted to do something super simple because, really.. it's just going to be another thing for me to remember to bring to the hospital. And as much as I like to be organized & prepared.. once labor starts or my water breaks, I can't guarantee that in my full panic mode, I'll remember these things. So simple is good.
 
I found this picture on Pinterest and loved it.
 
I traced it from Pinterest back to the lovely Taryn over at Design, Dining + Diapers
I LOVE it when people have printables because I have zero idea how to make anything even remotely close to that.
 
I printed a bunch of these cute labels and decided to buy candy + goodies. I LOVE her idea for the mini mason jar complete with the burlap top, twine and salt water taffy, but unfortunately I do not have time for that right now.
 
Here's how my version turned out:
 
 
I figured if people are going to put up with me & help us out while I'm hysterically crying calmly delivering a baby, they deserve a sweet treat. ;)
 
XOXO
