Help! O/T Gift Idea?

Nurses General Nursing

Published

Hello folks! First, I'm sorry to be off topic and post a goofy question like this but I'm up late and looking for some quick help.

My girlfriend is an RN at a big city downtown hospital in the ER. Basically I just decided I wanted to send her a GIANT teddy bear, and I'd like for her to get it when shes at work lol. So my questions is simply, is this appropriate to even do? I don't want to cause any problems, the last thing the ER needs is trouble with a giant teddy bear hanging around. Just wondering if it is ok or even possible to send her something at work?

Anyone out there ever had anything delivered to them?

If so, any advice out there? Ideas? Companies to use? How exactly would I deliver this?

By the way, I'm out of state so I cant deliver it myself.

Thanks for any help, and I'm sorry if this post doesn't belong here?

If you want to send something to work, send a bouquet with maybe a small teddy bear, or just send the flowers and save the bear for after work.

Flowers are out of the picture with her, she can't handle them, for personal reasons.

My family has sent me gifts at work before. It's a touch and go situation. Most of the time I didn't get them though. Send the gift at a time when she is home to receive it.

It'a a very sweet gesture but sending a giant teddy bear at work won't be a good idea .... first of, it would probably cause a problem ,how would she send it home? could be more of a burden instead. And I think it's unsafe.

Would be better to make arrangements with a family member or a special friend so the giant teddy would already be inside the house waiting for her. Now that's a surprise.
