We have done lots of the things mentioned including nice soaps and shampoos, bathrobe, umbrella, chocolates, Starbucks card, shower basket, etc., not all for each but some combo. Next week we are welcoming our first male AP, and I'd love suggestions for him. So far I am thinking water bottle, beach towel (he will spend first two weeks w us at pool and beach), powerbars, and probably a few colors of Gatorade (he works out a lot). Any other suggestions?
Also, not to hijak thread, but would love suggestions on what to send to orientation as welcome package. So far have just the cell phone, gift card for the NYC trip, and pepperidge farm cookies with the name of a location relevant to us. Any other suggestions? Thanks!
