I've heard of buckeyes but never made them.
@Erinmfs Those shoes sound interesting. I never heard of them before. Are they also a shoe made for comfort and therapeutic or do they just replace a pedometer?
It's frustrating when gifts are not acknowledged. I used to bring my PCP a very nice bottle of wine at Christmas and some home-baked goodies for the office. He never once mentioned them. I always wondered if one of the office workers just took the wine herself. I didn't expect a formal thank-you note but an acknowledgement would have been nice.
My step-daughter is the same too. I used to spend a great deal of time purchasing gifts for her and her family - multiple gifts for each of them - and they were never mentioned -- they were out of state, so the gifts were mailed. I would have to ask my husband the next time he spoke to her to ask if she had received the gifts. She always had of course.

I don’t know what has happened to manners especially from family. No one in my family would dare to not acknowledge a gift and they passed that down to my grandkids.
I wouldn’t bother gifting your Doctor. They get inundated with Christmas baskets and wine from everywhere, especially from pharmaceutical reps. I used to work for a Orthopedic group and have seen doctors give their goodies to their assistants and nurses and they don’t even know who the gifts are from. They often put them in the break rooms for the staff . I think the wine was the only thing they kept and some did not drink. If you feel you have to acknowledge your Doctor , a note of thanks would be appropriate....and, of course, any referrals. Or just tell him in person you appreciate him. Don’t spend any money.
