bomboniere or favors for hospital

[bon]

I like the idea of sharing a special kind of food with visitors after having a baby...if somebody else made it!

I have never known anyone to give gifts to visitors though - thankyou cards yes, a few weeks after the birth as a courtesy to those who gave you a gift, and birth announcement cards, but never bomboniere.

Actually, I do remember visiting a friend in hospital several years ago who had little teddybear chocolates - that didn't seem like such a big deal. She just had a bag of them for visitors and they could take one - I think they were wrapped in blue because it was a boy.
