Liz Garrett:

Last year, we bought star shaped candy dishes from dollartree.com (shipped to store for free!) and put an assortment of Christmas candy inside, wrapped in snowflake cellophane, tied with a Christmas ribbon and delivered to all the nursery workers in Macy's classroom & to the neighbors. I made monogram ornaments for friends & bible study leaders.

Jaime Tischler: 

For family members, I was inspired by the Pinterest craze of yarn wreaths :-) Found all the supplies at Hobby Lobby, including reusable cardboard boxes, with pretty designs, great for storage of the wreaths. Found mini picture frames and did a simple chevron design and each family monogram. For friends, found the mini picture frame ornaments at Hobby Lobby and made them personalized monograms as well.
