prezzies for the staff

[dot.haukes]

it''s our closing do on Friday and I would like to get each member of my team a small keepsake to remember their time working for me on the shoe department. I;m usually good at stuff like this but i can't settle on anything,. they are all female, age range from 18 to 60 and they are lovely all of them, and so i would like to get the same for everyone, I won;t spend more than say �10 on each, what do you think? (I asked my grandson and he said 'a ponytail' he;s 10, that must a 10 year old's sense of humout lol)

A nice bookmark - you can get all sorts nowadays

Or a little compact mirror for handbag

what about those little shoes that people collect Dot, wouldn't that be poingnant?

[dot.haukes]

oh now actually peri that is a very good thought, there is a shop I use and the lady sells all sorts of hippy type stuff and she makes bookmarks to your design!!! well, she can personalise them, I hadn't thought about her shop, I 'd find something in there!

You could mix bobbisoxs idea of shoe with bookmark if this lady will make specially for you

I did think about shoe charms but it would probably be too expensive! But these ideas are really good!!!

[dot.haukes]

ooo yes i like those al, and the lady in the shop does do some like that I am sure, very clever!!! Wish i'd thought about this earlier actually!!

Miniature Designer Shoe (b) Boxed Collectable Gift
Dot this is on Amazon, I think they are �5-95 and it come in a little shoebox

[dot.haukes]

I've just found the phone number, it';s a New Age Shop!!! Anyway I'll ring them tomorrow and have a chat about the bookmarks I think!

[pericat]

My niece who lives in England makes jewellery, she taught my daughter who taught me so I dabble a bit - get to the point I hear you say - bookmarks can be purchased in bead shops and different charms beads etc to go on them
