It's getting closer!
I am thinking maybe I'll give the teacher's some Cinnamon Sprinkles...maybe a Season's Best too...???

I haven't thought much about it...
What are you guys doing?

I've given a Small Mix N Scraper with a Christmas kitchen towel(From Walmart) before...tucks real nice in a wine bottle gift bag...

Last year, I gave Mini Serving Spatulas, and a box of Tastefully Simple Brownie mix...
 
there is another thread on here about the same subject. i saw some pretty good ideas. the best was the round up the heart trivet. it's fairly inexpensive and part goes to charity.

I am offering a package of 1 SA Coffee Cup, 1 Appetizer Plate (as a saucer) and two micro cake mixes tied up with cellophane, a nice ribbon, the instructions on cooking the cake and my website and email if they want the recipe for the master mix. Maybe add a Small Bamboo Spoon or something like that.
 
Kate,

What are you charging for your SA coffee mug packages?

I would think that you could take it out of the package since you are wrapping the whole thing ins cellophane. But I would try to leave the use and care card in there, or include it in a card or something.

thanks, i don't want it to look like i gave them a used gift, you know what i mean. i'll definitely include the use & care card
 
I bought the bar boards from the outlet. I plan on using clear celephane and a big green bow. My tag will say "You have set the "bar" high!" "Wishing you a Merry Christmas!"
 
that's a REALLY cute idea!! i wanted to use a twixit clip to close the cello, i might have to change that though
