small gifts for co-workers

JJcre8

I am stumped this year.  I work in a department of 6 people including myself.  Every year we exchange something small.  I have given bottles of wine (trader joes has really great deals sometimes) picture holders and cookies in the past.  I am stumped and on a tight budget this year.  I mentioned that we could possibly each cook something and just have lunch together this year, but I'm not sure if that's the way we're going.  Does anyone have any ideas for me?  BTW, I'm an art teacher if that helps stir anything thoughts?!

I posted a recipe on my blog or Oreo Truffles, and will be posting a recipe for Peanut Butter balls tomorrow... both can be frozen and both are large batches (one makes about 60 the other about 120) so you can give away plenty (or cut the recipe down) and it would still be pretty cheap. Put them in a cute bag or candy box from a craft store.

Or you can make or buy ornaments.

How to Make Hot Cocoa Cones for Christmas Gift Giving

I was also going to suggest either handmade ornaments or food.

These look nice and could be relatively cheap.

I've done baskets with homemade mini loaves of different breads & added a couple of coffee mugs from the dollar store. Depending on the person I'll put some coffee, hot chocolate or tea.

I am baking for 14 of my coworkers and 5 of DH's coworkers, so I am sticking to something small. I am making a mini loaf of pumpkin bread for each person.

DH has a million coworkers and I have 7.  For all our coworkers I made hot chocolate pods and apple cider balls.  DH is going to bring them in to work in a basket and his coworkers can each grab one.  For my coworkers I'm putting the pods and balls in holiday mugs for each of them.

If they drive you can get them a gift cert from a local car wash to get their cars cleaned.
