    I love the idea of the mug rum with matching mug or cup. Add a little bit of chocolate and it is just a perfect gift!!!

    It depends on how big a thank you. If it's a small one for a favour, then a a mug rug. If she did something really awesome that helped you a lot, then a wall hanging. Or whatever you feel like giving I suppose. I also really like the idea of a tote but it's very personal IMO. Great ideas here!

    I would say the mug rug - I'm sure she drinks something (water, coffee, soda, tea). She may or may not be allowed to hang things on the walls but she can always use a mug rug on her desk.

    I think the mug rug would be perfect and she doesn't have to be a coffee or tea drinker to appreciate it. It's a mini piece of art.

    I think a mug rug would be great, too, and I love the idea of using it as a mouse pad! You might roll the mug rug up and put it in an actual mug, with a packet of instant hot cocoa or specialty coffee and a treat such as a cellophane-wrapped biscotti. I need to stop before I get hungry...

    I agree that the mug rug with a cute cheap mug would be a nice little gift. I know I'd be happy to get it! Have fun

    I'd say a mug rug or desk organizer. i'm always a little skeptical about giving a wall hanging to someone unless I'm 100% sure it's one that will go with their other decor. After 35 years as a school administrator I've been given lots of gifts, including wall hangings and pictures. Although many of them were beautiful and contained many hours of work, they did not fit with the other decor and were just not a style I liked, but I felt obligated to hang them for a while. However, I have some quilting friends who love any kind of quilted wall hanging and would not hesitate to make one for any of them.
