“Do you have any ideas for staff gifts? I’m going to be leaving my job at the end of July, and I want to give something to my fellow staff members, of whom there are about 35. I’m going to bring in an edible treat for the whole office (attorneys included) but I wanted to give a special little token to staff. I also would like to give something to the children I teach at my church (20?), and some of the people at my church who have been so kind to me. Yeah, that’s a lot of people…I don’t know what I’m thinking…” —Rebekah
Rebekah, From the sound of your note, I have a feeling you are really going to be missed. For your staff, you might consider buying a few batches of Marc Vidal colored pencils, and give each staff member a mini bouquet of bright pencils. Or if you want something edible, a tube of these gourmet sea salts could dress up any brown bag lunch.
And for the little ones, I love these pouches. They’re meant as a summer reading treat, but I know my kiddos would love being handed a bag of treats like this, and would use the pouch to store treasures for years to come.
What about you, readers, any ideas to help Rebekah?

For the office staff, what about a small potted plant?
Love the sea salts. Hope you have a great weekend, Stephie x
The reading pouch could be nicely adapted for a VBS or Church thing – just make it “Reading the Bible is so much fun…” A great way to encourage kids to have their time with God each day! I’m so using that!
Thank you so much for your help! I sincerely appreciate it!
That’s a nice gift idea for kids. If it’s for only one child with who you have a closer relation you could even combine the gum with a book that you choose for the kid.
