Christmas presents for my fantastic team

Hi my team have had a challenging year and I'd really like to get/make each and every one of them a small Christmas gift to let them know I appreciate their help and support, the only problem is there are 50 of them and I have a limited budget probably a maximum of £2 each...as it's coming out of my own pocket:o
I can bake, can just about master a sewing machine for something basic and am happy to try other simple crafts and would really appreciate some ideas or suggestions

    How about some Snowman soup in a cheap mug that you have decorated, maybe with their name on?
    Some days you're the dog..... most days you're the tree! :D

    Or Pots of Gold, gold wrapped sweets, butterscotch, Werthers etc and £1 lottery ticket. Use some gold and white shredded paper to part fill the "pots". You can get cheap mugs in places such as Tesco or just pick up old ones from charity shop.

  • I too thought that pots of gold would be a good idea. And who knows, a few of them might win something, and it will be really fun for them all at the same time even if they don't :)
    Having a coke with you
    is even more fun than going to San Sebastian, Irun, Hendaye, Biarritz, Bayonne
    or being sick to my stomach on the Travesera de Gracia in Barcelona

    What a lovely idea thank you. I might try it with cheap beer glasses or large tumblers for a different effect, and wrap them in that cellophane that florists use (already in my stash).
