A Little Something ~ Cause They Deliver For Me

In past years, I have given a "gift" to the mail carrier {even though you're not supposed to}, and this year, as we are watching our budget, I still wanted to give the mail carrier and the UPS guy something to let them know I appreciate them delivering my mail and packages, and always doing it in a friendly fashion.

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!
