Great gift idea for people you don't know what to get

DH's company had an employee appreciation day about a month ago, and they gave everyone a gift that I thought would be perfect as a Christmas gift for teachers, baby sitters, and all those other people you want to buy something for but don't know what to get.

They got one of those buckets of microwave popcorn. It looks like the tub you get at the movies, but it goes in the microwave. I know you can buy them at Blockbuster, but I'm not sure about the grocery store. Inside it, they placed 2 cans of Coke, 2 boxes of candy, and a $10 gift certificate to the movies and a $5 gift certificate to Blockbuster. I thought that it was the nicest idea since most people appreciate money for being able to go the movies. And while there may be some people who don't like popcorn, Coke, or candy, those people can always find someone who's willing to take it off their hands.

I hope this helps somebody. I just thought it was a great idea.
 
It's a great gift idea! My DS (10) received this from one of his friends! The big chocolate bar was the first to go :rolleyes: .
 
Kermit, that is a great gift idea. Thanks much. It would be great for a lot of my neighbors. :Pinkbounc :bounce:

Thank you!
 
That is a great idea, Kermit! Right now I'd be mighty happy with a Blockbuster movie and a bucket of popcorn.

In fact, after our horrid movie experience today at the theatre, I just told DH to take the kids up to Blockbuster to get a movie so we can watch from the comfort of our home.

I'll keep this idea in my mind for those people on my list who have everything and need nothing.
 

Awesome idea, Amy. I get a Blockbuster certificate for a male co-worker every year and this is a much nicer way to present it!

I wanted to add....

Blockbuster sells ten week rental cards also which I'm giving my son for Christmas. With it you get a "free" video, the last one was Spiderman, (no kidding!) and you get ten weeks of videos after that. We got our second video today, it's kind of cool to go every week and get a rental that's pre paid.

I think the next offer will PROBABLY be MIB2, which comes out in November, another must get for me!
