hockeyfanamo Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 This Christmas I plan on doing coffee/tea baskets for the 18 stations in my town. When I went on my ride out firefighters were saying how they wished people would give them things they use daily, since it is out of pocket, instead of baked goods. So I need some ideas to include. I'm thinking coffee, creamer, sugar, alternative sweetner, hot tea, honey, and cold tea. Any ideas of what else to add in? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pogiporkchop Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Cups and/or mugs. Maybe some small size flavored syrups. Stirring straws/sticks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speeddiva Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 What a lovely idea! I'd add Hot cocoa packets too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pogiporkchop Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Depending on your budget maybe include small gift cards so they can purchase whatever they like to prepare... it takes a lot to fuel firefighters. And of course don't forget the note of appreciation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shopping4my3son Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Frisbee, hacky sack, playing cards, or board games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCPanther1975 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Note pads/penspaper goods& some times you can get shaving cream/razors for almost nothing at drug stores on BF if you combine with coupons! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverstreak24 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 What a great thing to do! You seem to have a kind and generous spirit! If you can get a deal on plain cheap (as the ink stays on better) coffee mugs, you can use a sharpie to decorate them (Maybe just a "THANKS" or something written on them). Put in the oven and turn it to 475 for 30 mins. As long as the mug is a cheap one without too much coating, your marker art will stick and could make your giftbaskets pop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
