So, while I was at the dollar store, I picked up:
3 plastic holiday containers
4 bags of Peppermint Kisses
2 bags of York Peppermint Patties
1 box of small candy canes
1 package of silver bells
Everything was $1.00 each; I had the ribbon and the tags.
For the red one with the peppermint candies on it, I used two bags of the Kisses {but it really could have used three bags}. I filled in with some of the little candy canes.
The ribbon was a bugger to get around this thing {maybe because it's plastic?}, but I fed the ribbon through a bell and a tag, and managed to get it tied on to the lid.
The blue ones have snowflakes on them and I noticed that the Peppermint Patties had snowflakes on the packaging. I love that!
Here they are done!
Saturday I'll put the mail carrier's in my mailbox and for the UPS guy {and his holiday time helper} I'll put them in a box with a note for them. I hope they like it!

How wonderful you are!
My MIL is a carrier and she gets little treats like this and LOVES them
It is so cute too because on hot days some of her people put cans of soda in their boxes for her
This elderly man made her an afghan one time... I cannot even get over the goodies she gets this time of year people are so generous!
Merry Christmas
I am sure they will like it. And I think you were very smart to give prepackaged gifts. I am lucky that I live in a rural area and everyone knows everyone. I did fruit crisp mix for our carriers along with a jar of peaches we canned this summer. I know they appreciate it that others think of them.
Kathy, you are so thoughtful - wish i was delivering there..:-)

You are so thoughful. I am sure they will be thrilled to receive these!
Great ideas! I also leave a little something for our trash collectors. Usually brownies and a six pack. I figure after a hard day of schlepping people's garbage, they could use a beer and a bit of chocolate! ;o)
How thoughtful! Our mail carrier is so nice and I always give him a little gift of candy too.
That's very sweet of you!
