i have noticed that some people do favor boxes for guests who vist them in hospital?
Does anyone know what they usually provide their guests with? is it just sugar coated almonds?

I havnt heard of that one!! Dont think I will be doing that, I also dont think people would at all be expecting a gift from a new family.
But if you really did want to give something, sugared almonds may not be aloud in the hospital because of nut allergies etc. Prob check with the hospital.
Is it something your family do? Perhaps it's a tradition for some cultures?
I wouldn't feel any pressure to do it though. If it's a fun thing that will keep you busy in the days before, then go for it, but I don't think it's usually an expected thing, I've certainly never heard of it.
I do know that afterwards people often send out a 'thankyou' card with a pic of bub to people who brought presents for baby, so perhaps that's something you could do?
If you give out favours I'll come and visit you though.
