M.S.
As I have worked in Dr's. office and clinics in the past, this time of year, they are often inundated with edible gifts and overwhelmed with what to do with so many, especially perishables. I have seen many go to waste because they spoil before they are used up. Not only from the patient's, but also vendors contribute, drug companies, other offices. They are appreciated, but also many of the staff really struggle to "say no" to all the temptations of goodies, when they really would not like to consume so many sweets, etc. "willpower, lack thereof"
You might want to contact the office to see if there is a better time for a delivery or preference.
