Last-minute gift ideas?

So I have to blog about this because I was pretty proud of myself, since this is the first original idea I've ever had in my entire life. Every year I put together some sort of treat for my piano students (sometimes a big job, since there are 19). And by "put together," I mean tie a ribbon around a giant lollipop or something, which is what I've done in past years. This year I decided to deviate a bit, and I came up with these:
I just picked up 19 mugs at the dollar store (although later I found some cuter mugs at Michael's, also for $1, so pick those if you are going for mugs) and filled them with hot chocolate mix and a candy cane, which I dipped in chocolate and sprinkled with red and green nonpareils. (You are supposed to use the candy cane to stir the hot chocolate, and it makes it pepperminty and... extra-chocolate-y.) Easy peasy.

And here is my hint to pass along. If you dip candy canes, this is the best way to let them harden. I propped them against the edge of a wire rack and anchored them with spoons so the chocolate end is up in the air and not touching anything (hard to see in the picture).

Okay so if you're still trying to find a teacher/neighbor/co-worker gift for someone who is not anti-sugar during the holidays, there ya go. Feel free to steal it since, like I said, it is the first idea I've ever had by myself!

Though I know the REST OF YOU have done better, so feel free to share!!! Any last-minute gift ideas you like? Anyone? Anyone???
