Special Christmas Ideas from Wisconsinmade.com

As 2010 comes to a close, think back to the people who made this year great and what gifts we can give to say thank you.  To give an extra special thank you gift, be sure the gift relates to what the recipient contributed. Below are a few ideas to help you get started. All of the gifts mentioned can be found at Wisconsinmade.com.

Did a friend or family member invite you to stay at their house? A Botanical Soap Gift Basket makes a fabulous hospitality gift.  The gift basket from Country Hill Farms contains six bars of all natural soap in lavender, apple, and sandalwood scents.  The host will be thrilled to let future guests enjoy these luxurious soaps.

Postal workers fight the elements to make sure we have our mail, so giving them a small gift is the least we can do to show our thanks. Biscotti from K-Delights make an excellent thank you gift for a postal worker. After all, we leave cookies for the delivery man in the red suit with the reindeer that comes by once a year; why not leave some for the delivery person who works hard for us everyday?

Last but not least, we must thank the people taking care of our most precious treasures. Child care workers deserve a gift to let them know how much we appreciate them.  Give them the one thing that they need the most, energy! Berres Brothers Signature Coffee Gift Baskets include eight different flavors of coffee to provide a delicious, quick boost.  Include a handmade thank you card from your child for that extra sentimental touch.

Can you imagine what life would be like without a friendly host, a reliable mailman, and a caring babysitter? Giving a thoughtful and unique gift will insure that the loved ones who helped you through this year will feel appreciated, and be happy to help again in years to come.
