If you're searching for a quick, last-minute Christmas gift, I have a few ideas for you!
#1: Christmas Tea Gift
I actually made these little tea gifts for the Sunday School teachers at church. As the Christian Education Director, part of my job is being a resource and encouragement to our Sunday school volunteer teachers.
This holiday season, to thank them for leading our classes, I used small festive treat bags, 2 packets of Twining's Holiday Teas, and address labels printed with a cute saying.
"Teaching is your special-TEA!"
#2: Starbucks Thanks A Latte Gift
We have a lot of teachers to buy for at the holidays! My eldest is in kindergarten, so we wanted to let his classroom teacher know how thankful we are for her. My second born is at the church's Parents Day Out program, who I also work with in my professional capacity. I love these PDO gals so much - and they each do a great job of caring for the kids, so I wanted to find a way to thank all 5 full time staff for their hard work.
I ordered a large pack of $5 Starbucks gift cards from Amazon, got some flat white cardstock in size 5" x 7", large mailing labels, small address labels, and construction paper.
I put a little message (with the "to" and "from" details) on the smaller address label and a cute mug image and "thanks a latte" message on the larger shipping label. I used tape to attach the gift card and glue to attach the construction paper right behind the larger shipping label.
I think they turned out so cute!
#3: Beverage Jar Glass Gift
As one of four ministry staff members at the church, I work closely with our senior pastor, music director, and office administrator. Right now, we're an all-ladies ministry team, and I'm very thankful for them.
To show my fellow ministry gals my appreciation, I assembled these little gift sets: a holiday themed jar glass (from Walmart), a small Starbucks gift card, and holiday teas.

#4: Spiked Mexican Hot Chocolate Recipe Set
This is the perfect little gift for friends or family, if they enjoy an adult beverage occasionally. I'm not much of a drinker - and haven't even been able to, had I even wanted to, for a while now with two pregnancies in two years - but I know a lot of folks who indulge around the holidays, and this is a super fun gift!
If you've never had Mexican hot chocolate, you've got to try it! Be warned - it does taste different because it's not just sweet, it's also spiced. Abuelita's is a common brand that most major grocery stores have available.
This year, for a few friends and family members, I assembled some mini kits: 2 Mexican hot chocolate packets, an airplane bottle of Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey, and a tag with instructions/recipe. I printed the tag on address labels and attached it to a piece of red construction paper. I layered everything and tied it with raffia paper string, and voila! A spicy, spiked gift set!
