[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 87859, member: 2211"] We live in a small town (8500 pop) and so there are a few little cafes and family owned restuarants/bagels shops/coffee places. As we neared Holiday break time, I noticed that the front office of our middle school was filled with cookies, breads, candies, etc. So, I went to this really great local cafe/bakery where an average lunch with drink is about $5/each and bought a $40 gift certificate for the 6 ladies that worked in the office (God knows they handled more than their fair share of MY phone calls!). I usually made a nice holiday bread wrapped real pretty, tied with pretty ribbon and a tree ornament for each teacher accompanied by a nice note. We always received a nice thank you note telling us how much they loved it. In retrospect, I think straying a bit from the sweet bread idea is a good idea. The taco mix sounds great. And also, putting together a nice "Italian" basket might be nice. You could put a pesto sauce or bruschetta and a loaf of artisan italian bread with some special pasta or something. Really great ideas here!! OTE, I loved yours!! Too bad mine are all grown up. [/QUOTE]
