Fruit Baskets

[SlowHabit]

This might seem like a trivial question to some of you but I have no experience in giving fruit baskets or know anyone that does.

My mother was recently diagnosed with anemia and this one doctor did a great job of treating her. I want to show him my thanks but do not know the "correct" way of doing so. Do I just buy a fruit basket and say "thanks, I really appreciate it?"

Also, the companies I found that look decent are the fruit company and FTD Fruit Basket. 1800FLOWERS has some nice selection but doesn't deliver to hospitals. Any other recommendations?

Thanks.

quids,

Those are fabulous.

The thing about those fruit baskets is 99% of the time they go to waste or the recipient will put them in the break room at work for everyone to pick at for a week. Many doctors are involved with charitable foundations, perhaps a better way to go is to make a donation in the Dr's name to his favorite charity?

www.gevalia.com does gift baskets based on coffee and coffee stuff which are very nice, assuming someone in the docs office drinks coffee.

Zingerman's Deli has some fantastic gift baskets, but they are mostly breads and cheeses.

A gift is nice, but a sincere card thanking him I am sure would be very appreciated also. I gave one to my attorney who helped me greatly along with a gift basket. He asked me if he could put the card up in his office on the wall. I stopped in to say hi to him and ask him a question and the card was there 2 years later.
