1 Irish Spring deodorant
1 Degree deodorant
2 Mens Dove body wash
1 mini Duracell charger
2 Listerine Whitening mouthwash
1 Oral B battery toothbrush
1 Crest toothpaste
1 box of Pot of Gold chocolate
1 $10.00 Timmie's Gift card

:top: Wow, you are so sweet!

Thanks for thinking of hard workers who probably don't get a lot of up-front appreciation. And SO generous!

That was very nice of you to do this. You can bet they will be telling a lot of people for a long time for the nice thing you did for them.

I truly belive that anyone receive gifts unexpectedly would appreciate them....I feel couponing has blessed me in so many ways...before couponing I only gave them a Timmie's card...lol....Now I am able to share my good fortune will others...

What a great gift to them! Merry Christmas to you!

Very kind of you. I love hearing about great Christmas stories like this!!!

I am hoping next year mine will be alot bigger so I can donate some to the women's shelter...couponing is the greatest..

Very nice of you Mrs. Claus! :)

Great brag!!

I made a baby basket last weekend for a baby shower I was going to. All the items in the basket were free or close to free. I didnt see why I would go and buy a huge basket since I hade made a diaper cake and it all needed to fit.

I went to my local no frills, found a big enough cucumber box lol and just bought wrapping paper from dollarama that matched the cake!

Looked awesome and looked like I had bought it from someone.

Just a tip :)

How very generous :)

That's a beautiful thing to do and they really appreciated it.

Thats great I too usually give the unappreciated people that help us with so many daily medial task and most don't get paid very well. So everyone take a hint from Sharkie and do the same. Today I am off to give the library ladies free coffee coupons :-)

thanks everyone for your replies...it is much appreciated..god bless

love this brag!! I was seriously thinking about giving my mailman (or lady! lol) a gift card, I don't have enough of a stockpile to give anyone a basket (yet) but hopefully next year!!!
