My Mum is in a Nursing Home where the care is really excellent. I have bought a tin of chocolate for the Home as a Christmas present but there are 2 carers who are particularly lovely to both Mum and I. I am looking for ideas for gifts for them.
I try not to give alcohol to people I don't know well as they could well be recovering alcoholic and I am already giving chocolates to the staff so can Grans think of something which might be special?

Are they allowed to accept gifts, other than something generic like chocolate?

I live in a nursing home, carers are not allowed to receive gifts,

I wouldn’t select two carers from a team for a gift

I agree, singling out 2 carers could cause an issue with other staff for them.

Agree. Just a gift to them all.

Mum always bought her carers stuff from Penhaligans. Mostly because she liked it herself😄.

They probably have to pool all gifts. It is much better to give one to the team.

Give the whole team a box of satsumas to share?

A special bottle of hand soap and hand cream for the staff loo?
