s/o Gifts Ideas, Can we compile a list?
Have we already started a thread with good gift ideas? Maybe something you received your really liked, something you've given, or something you've seen around town that would make a good gift?
In particular I'm looking for employee (under me) and boss gift ideas.
Here are some gifts I like:
1) I love the William Sonoma Hand Soaps and lotions. I like them because
they aren't your typical flowery Bath & Body works scents.I request
that my cousin get them as my gift because I would never spend the money
on them for myself. Last year I was able to find them at the outlet for 3 dollars each but I don't think they carry them anymore.
2) Calendars w/pics of the grand kids for the grandparents.Always been a big hit and favorite gift.
3) Inky Dink towels for the kids. I love supporting a nestie business and both my kids love their towels. So it's easy to get my cousin's girls (3,5,8) something that is somewhat similar.

Re: s/o Gifts Ideas, Can we compile a list?
I like this idea, since there are some people who I never know what to get (ahem, brother's wife).
I've given caricature return address labels to people several times, and they seem to love them. These are great if someone has just moved, but I also gave some to my SIL for mother's day last year, and she ended up using them for their Christmas cards.
I like to give kids coloring books, like from the Doodles line, and I include some colored smencils to go with it.
Hmm, I need to think about this some more and will edit.
I just read the other thread and remembered the Circle Scarf. I've given that to several ladies, who wear them all the time. (I like the sheer ones the best, I think they're the softest and seem a little fancier than the regular ones. I've found them at the RR Outlet.)
Rarely Updated Blog
Photo book made on shutterfly, kodak, snapfish, etc for the grandparents.
Nicely framed photo of LO for the grandparents that are very busy and appreciate not having to find their own frame.
Grown-up board games like Apples to Apples, Cranium, Whoonu, Bananrama, and/or Imaginiff.
High-end hot chocolate mix.
A nice bottle of wine.
High-end tea or coffee for those who are coffee or tea drinkers.
The tea, coffee, hot chocolate, and wine are also nice in that they can be purchased at the grocery store and are consumable gifts that don't have to be consumed right away.
