If my frum pediatrician got mishloach manos from all his patients, his family would be COVERED MOUNTAIN HIGH in junk forever. I know some people do give at the office pre-purim and the mostly non jewish office staff enjoy it quite a bit, and its nice to get into the purim spirit a little early, but I personally don't because I don't need extra work on purim day for sure. Its for sure optional, no body would get insulted if you didn't.

If you're worried about your pediat. getting mountains of junk- make him a kugel, his wife will thank you.

I don't think that's a reason NOT to give. Do you give your rov or use the same reasoning--- he gets so many & doesn't need mine???
We're all losing focus on what MM is REALLY about when excuses are given: "... don't need extra work" It's EXACTLY these people who MM should be given to, much more than your best friends.

The Bais Yaakov in my city puts together group shalach manos and I put in for my ped. Actually, another frum ped has the most people sending to him in the whole city!

If I were sending to ppl with whom I have a business relationship as opposed to a personal one, I'd davka send to the nonfrum ppl, as that might be the only mm they get. I can show appreciation to the frum ones by putting an ad in their honor in the school or shul journal or newsletter.
