TammyinTN Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 My husband has been deployed for about 7 months and I've had some amazing people to help me. I want to show them their hardwork didn't go by unnoticed. I need an idea for about 50 people. Would a polish pottery mug filled with good quality chocolates be a nice gift? What do you think? Thanks bunches!:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferdie Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 I would love getting that. If you are short on money then I think just the chocolates would be great. You could put them in a cellophane bag with a pretty ribbon, and attach a note. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
********* Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Tammy, can I just say what a blessed lady you are to have 50 people to thank this Christmas?! I think your idea is lovely. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dobela Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 I love your idea as well. I would like to recieve the chocolate with a great thank you inside. That would be gift enough for me, and even then, from what you have said, it would also be unexpected. How wonderful you are to remember them!

Carol in Cal. Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 ...if the good quality chocolate was in the form of homemade fudge! And if it was wrapped in plastic of a festive color, like maybe transparent red wrap, inside the big mug. And if the mug had a beautiful bow tied around it, like a Christmas present. And if the mug was the kind that says "Thank you!" on it in many languages. Just some follow on thoughts... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie in Monterey Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Honestly, I would love a heartfelt handwritten specific thank you note more than anything. It is so rare that people stop and write something personal. Basically a note saying why their support was helpful and in what way (it allowed you to spend more quality time with your children) etc. I don't think anything more is needed. The pottery mug seems like it would set you back (at numbers of 50). If you felt really strong about giving a "gift", I think the chocolate in a clear bag would be just as nice. I am so glad you have a strong caring community around you. My husband is prior military and it is not easy. A sincere thank you to you and your family for your service. Happy Holidays!
