BTW - we're doing SS at work. Gotta tell ya - this person leaves notes in the mail to me - and then makes me HUNT for my santa gift. The entire office is laughing at me while I'm looking for this santa bag. I found it today under the fax machine inside the cabinet. LOL. . . . but my person that I'm secret Santa to at work has no idea. She just told me today her SS is being. . ."thoughtful". . .I thought what does THAT mean?!?!? (grin) Instead I said "oh really? Kewel." I'm assembling a dinner for her - one day at a time. Yesterday was gormet pasta and pasta utensil and some ornaments with a note that said "Part 1 of 3 - Dinner is on ME!" Today was Harry & davids pasta sauce, H&D ancho chile spread, and H&D avacado and spinach spread and a note that said "Part 2 of 3, just wait! You'll see!" Tomorrow is various cheeses, a large Itallian Bagget, a bottle of wine (Shiraz) and some H&D chocolate covered cherries. Everyone else is laughing at their SS and she says her SS is "thoughtful." LOL - jeez - next time it's gonna be a jelly bean bag and a note telling her to find it in the air duct. (sarcastic grin) Guess I wasn't being "fun" LOL. . . .

Here is another pattern I found, looks like the original post, they are so cute. Here is a link that might be useful: Shoe Gift Box

I found this list, I hope you can get some ideas from it. Gifts For Cancer Patients Gift Baskets One of the best gifts for cancer patients comprises of gift baskets. You can make an inspirational gift basket, comprising of cards, soft toys, books on cancer survivors, and so on. Remember that the gift items should offer hope, encouragement and comfort to the patient. Aromatherapy Products Cancer treatment, mainly comprising of chemotherapy, drains out the strength of the patient. Aromatherapy products make the perfect gift in such a case, providing them with the much\-needed rest and comfort. You can go for things like aroma oils, aromatherapy blanket, aromatherapy spa socks, etc. Skin Care Products During chemotherapy, the body is exposed to radiation. This has an adverse effect on the skin, making it parched and dry. Thus, skin-treatment products qualify as one of the best gift items to be presented to cancer patients. You can go for body lotions, lip treatments and hydrating cream. Inspirational Keepsakes Cancer and cancer treatments have maximum effect on the mindset of the patient. Cancer patients usually suffer from low morale and dipping confidence. In such a case, keepsakes engraved with a few words of encouragement can go a long way in making the person feel better. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Scarves and Caps Chemotherapy treatment, administered in case of cancer, works to the detriment of the hair. The cancer patients who are undergoing treatment, more often than not, suffer from hair loss, a condition that can prove embarrassing for many. Presenting them with trendy scarves and caps surely makes for a good idea. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jewelry In case you have a female acquaintance suffering from cancer, then jewelry will comprise of one of the best bets, as far as gifts are concerned. Crystal and pearl bracelets, diamond earrings, gold chain and platinum rings are amongst the jewelry items that are sure to bring a smile on her face.

The Peter Rabbit books are the best -- I am presently wrapping them (and an adorable PR plush jack-in-the-box, both from Vermont Country Store) for my newest grand-nephew. 66 years ago at Girl Scout camp, I had a counselor who read to us during cabin rest-time. I loved especially her "Tale of Two Bad Mice" SOOOO much, that when I had to leave camp, she gave me her own copy, and inscribed it to me. Still is one of my treasures, and I remember that young woman most fondly. =)
