    Question Need a quick "Thank You" gift? Suggestions?

    Mug rug? A little table runner?

    The recipient will probably put it on her desk at work. IDK if she drinks coffee or not?

    ETA: She doesn't have a window in her office. So maybe a little wall hanging?

    Mug rug or small wall hanging would be my vote. I'm in the mug rug swap even though I don't drink coffee or hot tea. I figure it'll work just as fine for a cold drink and snack.

    Mug rug. I drink tea more than coffee and I love a good mug rug. If you have a dollar store you could buy one that coordinates with the rug.

    I lie the idea of a mug rug or small wall hanging. I think either would be great.

    Maybe a fabric box to put her pens/pencils in? A fabric frame for picture of her children (or movie star hunk!!! hehe) A mug rug would be good if she drinks coffee or tea or even something cold to absorb the wet from the iced glass.

    Those are both good things. An easy tote bag would be good too. She can use it to cart stuff from home, or she could use it for shopping, the library, the gym if she goes to one. All kinds of things. Does she sew? Make her a sewing kit to carry in her purse. Give her a quilting book. What colors are in her kitchen? Make a table runner with a charm pack. Jenny just did a tutorial on one. They are easy and quick. Does she read? Make a fabric book marker. I got one from one of my friends, I love it! And it is always in use. And it's special to me because my friend Dawn made it for me. Probably took her 10 minutes, but I love it because she made it for me. You should see Dawn crochet! She is so fast, it makes your head spin. Every year she makes at least 250 hats for school kids who don't have any. Plus she works full time. And she still found time to make me a book mark. She is always doing something for someone. For Christmas one year she made the 12 girls she works with totes, did 250 hats, and made several gifts for family and friends. She is a whirlwind. I don't know how she does it. Anyway, I digress, there are all kinds of things that are quick. Good luck, Hugs, Jan L.

    love mug rugs and totes. Just got my 1st wall hanging and love it to!
    These things, I warmly wish for you-
    Someone to love, some work to do,
    A bit'o sun, a bit'o cheer.
    And a guardian angel always near.

    Thanks Ladies. Such wonderful ideas!

    Jan, I'm not sure about her hobbies, it's a thank you gift for someone my husband knows. She works as a hiring manager.

    Just a thought, if you make a mug rug, even if she doesn't drink tea or coffee she could use it as a mouse pad

    Jan, your friend Dawn sounds like an angel!

    A wall hanging would be really nice.
