Nice. But inconsequential. That's really a tall order. DH is mid-level management. He wants to say "Thank you for digging me out of my messes" to support staff. So what's bigger than a card, yet does not require reciprocation? It has to be a 'one size fits all' gift-EVERYONE has to get the same thing. He's a naturally exhuberant gifter. If left on his own, DH will buy the same thing for staff that he would buy for me. I love his colleagues, but COME ON! ;-)
Last year, everyone got Circle E candles. We happened to drive by the factory, and I made DH pull over. I'm a bit of a quirky weirdo, do you REALLY want me to pick out the fragrances two years running?
I got up early this morning and ordered an armload of these:
I really LIKE Penzeys. A lot. I am glad to spread the gospel of pepper. I think this is the kind of present that even non-cooks can like-or easily re-gift. If you have never shopped a Penzey's, call them up and ask for a catalog. I learn something with every new catalog.
I'm excited about these. A little quirky, a little handy, a little cute. I'm stoked. I might order some for my nieces-with gift cards to go with!
Oh, yeah, and if you include code 43537C with your order, they will throw in a free jar of cinnamon. Offer good thru the end of the month.

Thanks for the info. Off to look them over.
Excellent choice!
(Would also make a nice gift for a teacher, just sayin')
Thanks for the heads up! I saw there is a Penzey's not too far from me, going to check it out. I could do with some freshly ground pepper! Do you know what that spice jar is on the lower right hand corner, the one with the multi-colored label? Really bugging me...went to their site but no description!

Sandra, that's Mural of Flavor-it's a nice no salt blend. My DGD likes it on buttered noodles-I just peeked on the label and the first ingredient is "spices!"
(eyeroll)
Go down to the store and smell it, it's good.
