Gifts for the office

Okay, looking for cool, but reasonable suggestions for co-worker gifts while in the world. Back in June, I brought back a DW pen and pencil for each employee in the company (about 20) and both a large box of taffy and two boxes of chocolates for the masses. I then bought my assistant a full disney pen set and disney post its. (she is into office supplies) I would like to do something similar cost wise, but something different than last time. But, definately something cute. The company size is about 25 now and my immediate staff now includes two assistants instead of one. My newest direct staff member is into Pooh and already has an Eeyore coffee mug. (her 3 yr old daughter's entire room in done in Pooh) The other like I said is into office supply things and caligraphy stuff. I would like to get the two of them something a little nicer as they are my direct reports, but still something little for everyone else. Any ideas.

I would say get a couple packs of those Disney pens. You can open the pack, and split them between the employees, it would be cheaper then buying pens seperately.

Also, you could get a lot of those little bags of pretzels and cookies to give with a pencil.

I heard they opened up that store which is everything under 10$. So, that may help you.

What I usually do it buy things that come in packs of 5 or so. That way, I can split everything up and give everyone something different.

I agree, I gave everyone a nice black and gold WDW pen on my last trip. The trip before I gave all my friends shot glasses. They also have those tin mint boxes with the mints in the shapes of characters. They are about a $1 a piece I think and that is a great idea! The mints are really good, what better than any other brand out there

The mints are really good and absolutely adorable, but the price is more like $2.99 a box.

I bought sets of coasters and split them up--one to each co-worker along with a magnetic photo frame and post-its. The coasters were nice because they were Mickey icons and they were assorted colors. Each person took the color they wanted and they use them on their desks at work!!!
(of course I kept a coaster for myself!)

I noticed when I was at Disneyland that they are selling these tins of hot chocolate with different characters on them. They were in packs of 3, and they are adorable. I think they were less than $10 each. I like to bring back those rice crispie mickey heads for my staff, the ones with chocolate dipped ears. I only have nine of them, though!
