Gift Idea for the Office

[WorldofColor]

Would like to bring back little something for few people at office for Christmas from our vacation next week. Any idea for cheap Disneyland things I can get for many? Thank you!

Candy. There are many different types in standard icandy bar sizes.

A popular one in my office is the box of Chocolate covered Mickey Pretzels. I thinks its around $9.95 for 6 or 8 pretzels

You can get a box of ornaments (they have some sets with smaller ornaments) and open the box & wrap them individually. There are also keychains, antenna balls, stationary, pens...

If what you're buying is available at World of Disney or the Emporium, keep an eye on your food receipts...you might get a 20% off coupon (if you shop before 12:30). We used it for our main shopping at the parks. It was good but I got really overwhelmed trying to find something.

If they have no food allergies, I love the chocolate and vanilla cookies you can get pre-boxed; they were $2 a couple years ago but may be a bit more now. They're in a box shaped like an animal crackers box and I thought they were very good. I did that once and got everyone a pressed penny to go with it (I'm on a budget!).

This time I was completely overwhelmed because we had some major changes at work, so I'd only been working with a couple of my co-workers for about a week and didn't know what I could buy them! One of them said she couldn't have cocoa or popcorn, so I figured she had trouble eating sweets; one found out she was mildly allergic to gluten; one works out of the office so anything I got would have to be non-perishable; and one doesn't celebrate any holidays at all so anything related to Christmas was out. I settled on pretzels but I'd forgotten the gluten thing so I couldn't use those...

Anyway, IMO food is always a great idea, except when it's not. If you've had enough work potlucks you should know what people can eat and/or if anyone has any specific allergies, but I had no idea so I got totally stuck.

These mints would actually be a really cute gift, though; the pack is $9.95 for 4.

(I bought them for myself; I considered them for the team too, but I feel like one of them had problems with artificial sweeteners... )

Next trip I'll do a better job of thinking up gifts before I leave!

I also like the small-ish boxes of candy that have cute names, sayings, and characters. There was a blog about them here on the DIS a while ago. It includes pictures. They are under $5 each, I think. I don't have enough posts to give the link, but if you search "Disneyland candy" on the blog page of the DIS, it is the 3rd or 4th one down.

I always bring my coworkers stuff back from my trips; last time it was the Mickey head lolli pops, time before that it was Disneyland keychains

I like the non-edible gifts that have lasting value. A few ideas: Magnets, pins, pens, candy that comes in a cute re-useable tin, notepads.
