What are some good choices at SDM for people like teachers, mailman, masseuse, etc...? Thanks :)
I got them the package of 2 cans of nuts - Chocolate Praline and Buttered Mixed Nuts. They sell for $9.99.
There is a pretty Balea Bling hand soap dispenser with soap in Christmas scents (peppermint, cranberry and ?? forget the last one). They are $5.99 each and I am pairing it with a gift card for the kids teachers.
Hot chocolate on a spoon! Use Cadbury chocolate (of course!!) - 4 bars melted with 1/2 cup sifted icing sugar and 1/4 cup sifted cocoa powder into molds or ice cube trays.
I found the "how to" on youtube and it is pretty easy (I spoon the mix into the molds, not pipe it in)
Then decorate with curling ribbon and decals, found at Dollarama. Bags found at Bulk Barn.
That is a double batch you see - made 30.
Stir the spoon into a cup of hot milk - tastes wonderful!!
I am a teacher. We often have baked goodies dropped off and shared in the staff room that is a big hit.
those spoons are so cool. maybe remember that tip next year..
i'd say maybe GC's to stores they can use, Scholar's choice, Tim's, LCBO.
baked goods are great and can be a lot less expensive than purchasing. You can make them in batches and split up the gifts with great tins from the dollar store.
oops, wanted to add that maybe Bulk Barn carries items to decorate the wrapping as well.
On behalf of most service people, please, no chocolate. I think most of us pass it on to food banks or re-gift it.
My DH used to ask me if I was dropping hints about liking to drink, or if I staggered while delivering the mail! It was funny one year I had 3 bottles of Kahlua in the cupboard and we had no idea what to do with it, that stuff is quite sweet.
