Secret Pal - HELP!

[kpadalik]

My dept at work has been doing Secret Pals all year. We drew names at the beginning of the year and have exchanged small gifts during holidays, bdays, etc. I don't spend a lot of money on my gifts, but I do get creative. For Easter, I did an Easter Egg hunt through the dept. Boxed movie candy for SP's anniversary, etc.

For Thanksgiving, I want to do a small gift bag w/ items that my SP is thankful for. I left her an anonymous letter asking for a few things she is thankful for and had her post it back on the corkboard in our hallway. My idea is to buy something to represent each of the things she is thankful for.

She said she is thankful for

her family
job
health
her cats

For her family, I have a picture frame that says family on it that I got on clearance at Target. Now I need ideas for the other three things. Can anyone help?

Thank you!

I was going to suggest the picture frame for family. For health, maybe some of her favorite fruits (like a small fruit basket because it's healthy). For the cats, maybe a cat toy, so it's actually FOR the cat? Not sure about job...

It's a very cute idea!

I too was thinking of fruit, particularly an apple ... like for an apple a day keeps the dr away. But job, thats tough. I don't actually know anyone who is happy to have their job! I'm no help there! But .. does your place have a gift shop or an online store? I work in a hospital and the gift shop has all kinds of stuff with the hospital logo on it. Maybe something like that?

I agree with the apple for "health".

How about a funny named candy bar for "job" like Pay Day or 100 Grand?

For "cats", I would probably get a cat toy or cat treats. Or maybe even a stuffed cat, like a beanie baby or a webkinz? She could keep it at her desk at work.

For job I was thinking something she could use on her doing her job. Maybe sone post it notes, paperclips, sharpies in fun colors, suff like that if it is an office / desk job. I also like the idea of some thing with the company logo on it -- if you are crafty maybe you could make a t shirt or something like that using a iron on transfer.

Thanks for the ideas so far! Love them all, especially the candy bar idea!
