What are you making???
I am thinking of an ornament witht he glitter and reinkers but still unsure.
how about you? Can you also post a picture if you have one??
I don't have co-workers, but my SIL ordered 40 ornaments for her employees. I used round glass ornaments that have a flat spot on the front. I used Versamark ink to stamp an image or sentiment on the flat part (require a light but firm touch) and applied embossing powder. Heat embossed. DO NOT TOUCH THE GLASS WHILE HEAT EMBOSSING - IT'S HOT!
Some I left with just that and some ribbon tied to hanger. On some others, I covered with alcohol inks and mixatives. Just used the Ranger ink handle with a piece of felt. Applied inks and mixatives to the felt and kinda lightly pounced the rounded part of the ornament.
On some other, I embossed an image on acetate cut to fit inside the ornament and used sharpies to color the back of the image. Attached a piece of clear thread and inserted in the ornament. Added some buffalo snow and called them done.
Hope you can tell what I mean from the photos. I'm no the best at taking photos.

I made these for co-workers. Instead of making a sleeve that the box slides in to, I just used acetate and made a 3 sided cover that slips down over the nuggets and is held in place by the ribbon.
Don't know why but my colors didn't turn out great... they're actually kraft, bashful blue, and some red I picked up at Archiver's. The pp is from Archiver's too.

I like to give candy treats. I have used the papertrey mini bags filled with chocolate pretzels, nugget boxes, wrapped Hersey bars. This year I am making either candy canes with Santa or pretzels with trees, I bought the Wilton molds. I will make little tags too.

I also go with the edible usually. One year I did put them inside Xmas mugs I got at Michael's after the season for cheap.
Last year I did soap and bottles with bath salts.
I have done ornaments as well, but I have a diverse group I work with and some don't celebrate Christmas, so that is when I went to food!

Denise's Lotion! I actually don't have co-workers, as I'm self-employed, but I have teachers, clients, neighbors. So, I'm making the lotion I made last year and everybody wanted MORE!
Just a tip: I know this is about co-workers and not teachers, but I thought I'd share this with you.
Yesterday I was making reindeer boxes with some friends and we were talking about teacher/secretary gifts. A friend was giving her gift to the school secretaries and noticed a bunch of gifts on the conference table (large table). She asked about it and the secretaries said that it was all the food gifts they had rec'd. They put them on the table for teachers/workers etc to take, b/c there was no way that they could consume it all!
This year I'm giving teachers/school workers NON-food items!!!!!
Denise's Lotion Recipe
15 ounce Vaseline ( generic brands are fine also)
16 ounce vitamin e cream
"2" 16 ounce baby lotion *(or any other scented lotion)
Mix all this together with hand mixer in METAL bowl.(it will look like thick cake frosting)
Then spoon into jars with a METAL spoon
(note: don't use anything plastic or your stuff may taste like lotion)
Christmas gifts for coworkers...
