    I'd only go with candles if you are sure there's no one who'd be allergic - like me! Most guys I know aren't candle types, unless the power goes out!

    The cookies will probably be well-received by everyone, because even if they are dieting, they can be brought home to family members who aren't. A paper plate of cookies, nicely wrapped with a cookie cutter tied to each one will be a memorable gift.

    Christmas ornaments are fun gifts too. My husbands cousin baked cookies last year and packaged them nicely with a pretty bow and then attached a cute hand-made ornament to it.

    My husband would probably never admit it, but he is much more into candles than I am. We go through a lot of candles, but I'm rarely the one who lites them. When he's home there's almost always a candle burning.

    For the last couple of years I have made different pre-packaged type of items for my co-workers. One year I made a jar of home made hot chocolate with a side baggie of mini-marshmellows. The next year I made a recipe using different types of rice, so all they had to do was boil it. If you go to Michael's or other crafty stores they have little books on making these "jar gifts". I found they are generally appreciated by people.

    Speaking about jar gifts, one year I made "potted shrimp" for my Dad. It was to die for.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    Have you tried your local dollar stores? Sometimes the things available are surprising. Good luck.

    You can also buy tins of nuts, candy, popcorn & cookies . . . I bought some nuts in really pretty tin cans at Dollar General . . . I think they were 3 bucks a piece.
