My husband works with a small team of four in a big retail company. I would like ideas for what to give him to take in at Christmas. They all have young families and there's only one female staff member. I want to give them all the same thing that won't cost much to do so it has to be a unisex gift.

I love gifts in a jar! I was given a large jar with a homemade minestrone soup mix one year and it was delicious. They are so easy not just for the giver but for the recipient as well. These are fantastic for a fast dinner or snack.

I bought a Christmas Cookies version at our local church bazaar once and wished I'd bought more after I tried it. If I'd known how good it was I would have got more for gifts. I worried it might not be that great though and just bought one. I've never seen them there since.

Try getting discount gift cards from Restaurant.com. You can get a 25 dollar gift card for only ten bucks. So, its $100 worth of gifts for only $40!!

I just put in an order for six cards for a few select coworkers.
Thanks for the great tip, Carly.

Only dieters. ;) Thanks very much Carly! That's a great idea. I hate buyng gifts for people I don't know that well in case they're allergic to something. That's a good solution.

I wouldn't have thought about allergies until you mentioned it! It would be alright to give gifts in the jar if you added a list of ingredients too then. It doesn't have to be food. You can make bath salts and lotions too. I like the Restaurant.com idea!
Why don't you make some of those gifts in a jar mixes? The foodie ones are easy to make in bulk and you can get the majority of the ingredients at the dollar store, plus jars. The homemade touch makes them special. I like this recipe for White Chocolate Chunk Brownies. There's millions more recipes out there.
