Ladies,
Last night I made two batches of white chocolate fudge: one with M&Ms, one with candy canes. I'm planning on bagging a set of each flavor, along with an insulated coffee mug with the teacher's initial, into a cute Christmas basket. But I'd like to add one more thing! Any ideas?
Thanks for your help!

I think a pack of hot chocolate or instant coffee would go perfectly with all those things that you already have.
Hi E.,
How about something to drink with the fudge and also can be used in the mug.... like tea bags or coffee. (Maybe flavored tea or flavored coffee for the holiday season.) Or attach a gift card to a bookstore and you can always write a note to "Pick out a little something for yourself from Borders/Barnes &Noble (or whatever place you select)."
Or maybe some sparkling water. (They usually are in fancy green glass bottles or clear and are only a few bucks.) Sometimes water washes down the fudge the best because it makes me quite thirsty.
P.S. I love making fudge around this time of year to give as gifts. (Easy enough and people love getting it.) Happy Holidays to you!
Dunkin Donuts or Starbuck GC. Who couldn't use help paying for coffee? :)
I know most women appreciate lotion or maybe a small gift card to a place to eat.
Hi E.,
I did something similar for my sons teachers this year, we had 4 teacher gifts to get. I made a tag that read "For Christmas this year, we would like to give you a cozy night at home" and in the basket I put fuzzy slippers (got from target for 5 bucks a pair), a insulated coffee mug that I added the Kindergarten class picture to, the Via coffee from starbucks (vanilla and caramel flavor) a gift card for borders, and a book mark. They turned out super cute and his teachers loved them!
Have a happy and safe holiday!

A really good hand lotion. Teachers are constantly washing hands (thank goodness!) and they can get dry really quick. Mary Kay has a good hand cream, and I believe Avon does too, or I'm sure there are places in the mall as wel. (Don't get one of the really perfumy body lotions, the scent can irritate dry, cracked hands)
I agree with gift card. A teacher friend of mine asked me this year what I was getting my boys' teachers for Christmas this year. I told her a gift certificate for dinner (Outback, to be specific) and she thought that was an awesome gift. She said they get overloaded with candles and lotions, so gift cards were definitely appreciated.
P.S. I got a huge, personal "Thank You!" from one of them already.
hot chocolate mix or some of the Starbucks Via (their instant coffee) or maybe some tea?
My husband is a teacher and we LOVE any and all gift cards. Starbuck's seem appropriate for your theme.
