What I've done in the past for their b-days or just a Thank you gift was to think out on what each vet has thats a *gift* to the animals. The one thing that makes them more special than the others. One female vet, I got her the Barbie (doll) vet outfit. She still has it in the box on her shelf. DR L, I got him some tiles embossed with a ferret vet & it's on the front counter at the clinic. Another vet, I bought a medical book for to help them learn. Another, I tried to get them to put a portrait of Gentleman Big in the lobby of their clinic. She wouldn't do it. Lots of people give food baskets of goodies.I just wanted something more personal. Hope this helps, -- Sandi Its nice to be important, but its more important to be nice [Posted in FML 5981]
