ET Basket.. Ideas?

I'm thinking ahead for sure... but things are moving along and I'm thinking I'd like to give my surrogate a little token of my appreciation at the transfer. I know there's truly NOTHING tangible I could possibly give her to express just how thankful I am. Likewise, there's nothing I can even SAY to express my appreciation... No item nor word begins to even touch upon my admiration in this heroic woman. She is giving me a gift too great to describe in words.... However... I still plan on showering her with "thank you" presents at the milestones along the way!

I'm thinking at the transfer, a basket would be nice with some 2ww related things Chat Icon

So far I'm thinking... a box of FRER (because that's what I'd be using if it were me!! Chat Icon ) .. some pineapple... magazines...

Anyone else have other cute/creative ideas for things to put in the basket?

I just can't begin to tell you how excited I am for you!!! I can't wait to hear all the updates...

The appreciation basket sounds so nice.....I would also put some yummy European chocolates in there (aims in implantation lol)....

I would also put some aromatherapy candles for her (or oils) to relax along with some spa/jazz CDs....Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

Michaels arts and crafts has cute stuff in their dollar bins, like relaxation masks and little things that match. Maybe those comfy slippers with the memory foam? Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

first that is so cool!

does she knit? maybe crochet stuff?

soduku/crossword books?

a giftcard to someplace that delivers while she is resting

maybe some cadbury eggs as a good faith sign

Re: ET Basket.. Ideas?

That is really thoughtful of you...I think something relaxation based...lotions, aromatherapy, spa related like a nice robe or body scrub...I think anything you will put in the basket will be great and she will appreciate it...also a simple card just stating exactly what you said that she is giving you the most unbelievable gift any other person could give you would be touching

How about a heating pad...I used this non-stop after ET to ease the discomfort.
