Holidays in the NICU

We've spent plenty of holidays in the hospital over the last 3 1/2 years (not all of them in the NICU) - with Alexander being in the NICU for 9 1/2 months, we caught almost every major holiday right there. As I mentioned in my last post, we'd like to do a little something nice for the families in our home NICU over the holidays this winter.

I'm leaning towards a little something for the parents in this case: stockings (maybe? or a gift bag?) with candy canes, hot cocoa packets, coffee, maybe some gingerbread men or other Christmas cookies if I can find them individually packaged, maybe hand sanitizer and lotion, and a nice card.

Anyone want to help with this? We probably need to plan for about 40 gifts.
