Small Disney gifts for coworkers?

[belledreamer]

My mom and I are heading to Disney in less than a month cool1 and in planning my souvenir shopping, I decided I'd like to get something for some of my co-workers at the grocery store where I work.

I honestly don't care much for my job at all or for several of the people I work with (whole different story) but there are a handful (about 6) of my co-workers that really help make my day better and others that have really been a comfort to me in a recent terrible situation. (Another different story...)

So I'd really like to get something for these special people, but since my money doesn't allow me to get everyone a stuffed Mickey, I have to think smaller. Plus, I only see my co-workers at work and only certain people would be getting something, it would have to be something I can give to them discreetly. The only thing I can think of right now is Mickey shaped candy and I'd hate to be all, "Hey, I went to Disney World and all I brought you back was a lollipop..."

Has anyone else ever done something like this for their coworkers and what do you find worked best?

I usually bring Disney candy back for all to share. Rather than buy gifts for the adults, I buy small gifts for my coworkers' young children. I'm in a very small office (8 people) so it's feasible to do it without going broke or offending anyone.

I bring back Mickey confetti sprinkles for cupcakes or ice cream. They are small and and inexpensive. The 2 musts in souvenirs.

I usually bring back pencils/pens and notepads for coworkers. You can usually buy them in packages and split them up--plus it doesn't take up too much room in the luggage or add on to the weight limit (not that I ever go over the luggage limit )

Last time, I bought the Little Golden Book about Mickey going to WDW for each of my coworker's families... but, last time I went, my 3 coworkers had kids in the appropriate age range for the book (2 had trips planned) and my boss had a granddaughter.

This time, I have a couple more coworkers, but 2 are the same, and all of our children are older. I don't know what I'll get. One coworker leaves for WDW 2 days after we get back - kids don't know!

I bring back pens, as well. You can buy a package with 5 or 6 for around $12, I think. And the folks in my office really liked them. I noticed in a meeting last week that three people were still using the Disney character pens I'd brought back last March!

The women in my office really liked this one:

Over at The Grand Floridian (and I think at Basin in Downtown Disney--not sure if that's the name of the store or not but it's the same store)--they have all these handmade bricks of soap. Several of them are Mickey-themed. They slice the soap off for you and wrap it up in paper with a ribbon. Very nice gift. Smells good, looks good in a bathroom, and according to one of my male friends, they thought it smelled good too.

They do have blue bricks if you want to buy some for the more "enlightened" men in your office.

Pens are also great office gifts.
