Trader Joe's Christmas Presents...

I always get the big chocolate bars for the mailman, UPS and news carrier.

I also bought some Belgian truffles for presents - and 3 boxes of Candy Cane JoJos for me - they are in the freezer now.

Anyone have any special items they use as gifts from Trader Joe's???

Of course - you have to sample them to make sure they would be a good gift!

Trader Joe's has a lot of unusual boxed holiday goodies. I think that they make great (hostess) gifts as they are something different (AND delicious)! You could buy a wicker basket and put a few different items in them. I'd love to get this as a gift.

My daughter bought a tea sampler for a friend of hers who loves tea. Cute display, the teas came in vials like chemistry test tubes, very nice.

There's a new box of dark chocolate caramels available. A sampler which comes in a long, thin box of 12. Unusual centers like honey fig, blood orange, etc. I got one for my daughter.

I saw a three pack of different flavored olive oils that looked really good. I wish I'd bought it for myself lol. I'll have to go back and hope they still have them. I bought the chocolate oranges for my husband and sons stockings and the Belgian truffles for a couple of hostess gift. Also the amaretti cookies for my inlaws gift basket because they love them.

I bought the box of 3 hand creams to try after they were recommended on this forum. I really like how they soften and their fragrance. Would be a nice, inexpensive gift.
