gift ideas for christmas to co-workers - Page 2

Our nurse manager usually gets us all matching christmas scrub tops. I like to bake goodies for everyone.

Last year my mom and I made gifts for all her neighbors and my coworkers. We made the "flavored spoons" you use to stir your coffee or cocoa with. Get the melting chips in chocolate and vanilla, concentrated flavor drops such as mint, amaretto, etc., and heavy clear plastic spoons. After melting the chips in batches add flavorings to each, dip the spoon end (I dip them twice) in the melt and lay them on wax paper to harden.
If you wrap them in the holiday color plastic wrap and tie a bit of ribbon around the stem, they make a great little gift by arranging half a dozen in a coffee mug from the dollar store. If you want you can add a packet of cocoa mix to the gift.

This year I'm making cinnamon, cconut, and lemon with a lemon glaze. I wrap each in a cute little wrap and put it all on a big plate in the lounge and let people pic the kind they want. It doesn't take long because you can make really big batches and bake many at one time.

Baked goods and gift certificates for coffee and treats are always a hit.

I tend to anticipate next year's secret santa exchange in January. I go online to the "clearance page of my favorite stores. You can get great stuff for 50% off, and cut your next year's list in half. If you shop online you get LOADS of catalogues in the weeks up to Christmas that will give you great ideas for everyone on the list. Worth the shipping just for that, I get about 5 catalogues a day from now unitl Christmas. What I don't need I just bring in to work for everyone else.
