This year we, all 3 of us, seemed to get food related items.
Dad received 5 lbs. Claxton fruitcake, pistachios, Dove truffles, dehydrated mini marshmallows for his cocoa, and girl scout cookies knockoffs from Aldi, Hot Cocoa mixes from William Sonoma, along with BBQ spice rub. . Mama got Lindt truffles, kitchen towels, a pink tablecloth, silicone utensils, storage containers and Italian rainbow cookies. I received several silicone utensils, a pepper grinder, and a big box of variety Jelly Belly beans.
On the other end, I gave various sweets, Chex Mix, nuts, fudge, granola, and pints of spaghetti sauce, freezer ready, for my 93 year old neighbor, to save her some cooking.
