Hello Everybody!
It’s Taryn again from Design, Dining + Diapers and it’s always great to be here The 36th Avenue!
I’m just 2 1/2 weeks away from my due date with baby #2, so naturally all things baby have been on my mind.
In preparation for the big day, I took a little time to make gifts for the nurses at the hospital.
ย
When I had my first 2 1/2 years ago, I had no idea that people actually did this.
But I have since learned how much the L&D nurses appreciate little gifts so I thought I’d put together a little something to show our thanks for all of their hard work. Afterall, if it wasn’t for the awesome nurses, L&D might be a whole different experience!
I put together these little mason jars filled with salt water taffy and a little note that reads, “Thank you for helping us welcome our SWEET baby into this world!” These little gifts were super simple to make and could work not only for L&D nurses but as thank you gifts for friends and family
ย
Supplies:
– Mason Jars – Salt Water Taffy (or candy of your choice) – Burlap Fabric – Jute – Tags (see free printable below) 
ย
I started by filling the mason jars with the yummy salt water taffy. I originally wanted to use a different type of candy, but decided that something wrapped would be more appropriate in this situation. And how can you go wrong with taffy? 
ย
Then, I cut out 5 inch circles of burlap and prepared my jute and tags. 
ย
I created this graphic for the tags (click HERE to download)
and then used my Silhouette machine to cut it out in the shape of tags. 
ย
And it all comes together like this!
I’m hoping I get to give these to the nurses sooner rather than later ๐
Thanks for having me over today, Desiree!
ย
I love Taryn and this project shows so much what sweet and kind person she is.

So thoughtful! As a critical care RN, to have a family just “say” thank you is amazing! Your nurses will love you!
Love these Taryn! I also loved my L&D nurses! Such a sweet gesture! Can’t wait for new baby to get here!
So cute, Taryn!!! What a thoughtful and adorable gift!
what a great little idea. I have never heard of gifting the nurses but makes total sense. My best to Taryn~
